Re: Tie it All Down !
SS make sure your leash is long enough to reach in front of you so you can manage it from the seat. Hook the end of the leash to a point about halfway between the crate holder and forward of the seat so you don't have to mess with it behind you. I hook mine just behind the seat forward of the tank well.

Re: Tie it All Down !
I use a 99 cent nylon dog collar cable tied to my rods. It snaps open and I pass it thru a 5' nylon dog leash, also from the 99 cent store. The leash is snapped onto a brass clip I bought(a bunch!) from Perry and I just fasten that clip to a padeye in front of my big feet! My leashes run under $4 a pop! And they're stronger than you'll ever need! I tried the curly phone cable ones and they were a disaster! They constantly tangled in everything! Piranha

Re: Tie it All Down !
BTW Perry, Looks like a Shimano Curado 300DSV in the pic you posted. I love mine! It's a castin mother!

Re: Tie it All Down !
Robert, I like the looks of the leashes you posted. I like the idea of easy snap off. The coils are covered do you still get them tangled? Who is the maker? How much do they run?

Re: Tie it All Down !
I went to Xstreamline yesterday & was looking for some like Robert has. They didn't have them, so I picked up some of the ones pictured. They have sort of a velcro sandwich and swivels. Too expensive at $16, but I think they'll work out ok.
Fishslayer, that's a nice fish in your photo. Mind sharing the story?

Re: Tie it All Down !
Here are some pics of my very cheap, very simple rod leashes! They are constructed from a 5' dog leash(99 cent store), a small dog collar with a release(99 cent store), and a brass clip I bought from Perry, now available elsewhere, but Perry may still have some! They were under $2 each, I think! Tied to rods with cable ties! The rod on the right, with the Shimano Corvalus, has a trigger grip! The leash is fastened to allow use of the trigger grip! They work great!
   Hope these images help give you some ideas on how to save money and solve the problem! Piranha!

Re: Tie it All Down !
Jerry,
Glad to see those brass clips are still working out for you. For a few bucks, they're hard to beat. I don't have any hardware left, so I'm back to buying them from kayak shops myself. I do like my Shimano 300 ALOT also. They are pricey, but IMHO an excellent reel that I'm looking forward to using for many years to come. Good Luck on the fishing, Perry
