DIY - How to make LEASHES for fishing rods and Kayak gear

DIY - How to make LEASHES for fishing rods and Kayak gear
Hello guys
With this bad weather that we have been having I cant get out to fish.
So I made another "DIY" video called "Get over here" that explains how I make the leashes to hold all the gear that is in the kayak with us. Rods, knives, pliers, Nets, icebox ...
Hope you enjoy the video and if so, please share it, press that like button, give me your feedback and subscribe if you haven't already.
Thanks.

    One tip,no charge...since you have boiling water near on the stove,instead of burning thermo sleeves with lighter just sink it in the boiling water for a few seconds,it shrinks the same...especially when you have some delicate thing like shinking the tube on the fishing hooks where you can't go near with the lighter cause you would burn the line or braid. Excellent video btw,I will try to make it... 🥂

Secondly, What was the finished length of your leash...and how far does it stretch out? Lastly do you know the ratio of number of feet of trimmer cord to length of finished product? Thanks for your help.

    Hi thanks. The larger tube is 16mm and its cut to the length of the frying pan.The finished length on this one is around 30cm. I haven't tested it out to see how much it stretches but it's a lot, You never need to stretch it to the max. And it takes around 5m of nylon. You don't have to make them this big. I just like it that way so not to stretch them too much and deforme them. And can have them hooked to one side and move them around the kayak to different rod holders and it's no problem at all.

    Sparkie Kosten Ya I forgot that, the first one was the hardest one to do, after a few it gets easier and easier. I guess we kinda get to know how much strength it actually takes to get the job done with less effort. My leashes not only are they still going strong and I have them for little over a year but I have done a couple few more to use on other stuf. In my last video kzread.info/dash/bejne/qISf2biEitTdl7Q.html you can see that my rods and knife leashes are still the first ones I made and I dont even take them out of the kayak they are allways there. And I have made new leashes for my radio that I have attached to my vest. I also have made keychains using this leashes with thinner nylon. I really like the outcome, had no idea it would work out this great. I'm glad it helped you to go out and try it for yourself. Cheers. 👍💪

    It may work as well. I think by boiling it gets heat in a more even way to all of the coil. with the heat gun you can run the risk of overheating some parts, deforming them. But give it a go and then tell me how it went.

    I have seen that video also. Thought about doing it but since I use mine primordly in salt water, it would not be very good cause it would catch a lot of salt when it dries. And salt its not a friend of fishing gear. I normally don't even wash the rod leachs, just trow them with the rod holders in the trunk of the car and take them out next fishing trip. But if the color means that much to you then go for it. Don't forget to show the end results.

    Hi Jay L, thank you for your comments :D I really appreciate you taking the time :D The blue line that I have it's actually 0.0078" só the difference is not all that great. When you finish the 15 minutes of boiling the coil in the water, did you flip the coil like I do? Cause it gets a lot tighter when you flip it. I have seen those square lines but I have never tried them out. Maybe you can test that out tu see and get back to me. But you shouldn't have any problems getting the round ones in gardening stores. Have it a go and let me know :D

What size of the aluminum crimps that you used for your 0.078" line? Amazon sells only two sizes (1/16" and 1/8") of crimps that are relevant. I will try to get some 0.095" line with 1/8" crimps to see what happens. Cheers

If you go to a gardening store, you will see them in several sizes, colors and shapes. If you actually seen the entire video, I feel there's no way you can make that assumption. So I don't get you question and your comment on having subtitles. But I guess that was something that you just had to say right.
