Re: Tie it All Down !
Tarpon Guy,
It was the weirdest thing when that happened. One minute I was sitting there and the next minute I was in the water testing my pfd. It worked fine by the way.  Sea Slug, Here are the leashes that I use now.   They have a quick disconnect buckle. The small end stays on the rod. I unhook the quick disconnect when I fish with each rod and hook it back up when I'm not fishing with it or when I'm trolling with the rod. I use these for all of my rods. The ones in my rod holders behind my seat no trouble to get to at all. Just about any kayak shop should have these. Robert

Re: Tie it All Down !
SS,
I know what you're saying about the leashes themselves being in the way. I found something I'm planning to try soon over at basspro.com . They're made by blakemore I believe it is. Right now, I have a small "O" ring on my baitcasting rods just above the handle. Then I have a few of the coiled rod leashes with clips on both ends. One end get clipped to a padeye or seat ring etc.. and the other clip attaches onto the ring on the rod. When I use the rod, it detach the clip on the rod and I'm good to go. The downside is if you flip over, you'll usually let go of the rod you have in hand. That's where these floats come into play. I'm still going to use the leashes on the rod that are out of the way, and just rely on the floats for the rod I'm actively using. I'll let you know how they work after I get a set and try them out. Hope this helps Perry

Re: Tie it All Down !
That's a great product! I've seen pool noodles used to keep the rods floating.
