Superb video, clear, concise instructions, the reversal of the line is a great tip and well thought out. May you live long and prosper and when fishing have tight lines. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post and share.
Oh thank you thank you kind sir! Great idea explained clearly. I was going to do this, but the reverse winding is a detail that I would never have thought of.
Awesome idea! I plan on making many of these, maybe 15, for me and my family. I do plan on doing an additional step though, running them through paracord.
Excellent! Super detail like reversing the winding of the line. I would have never thought of that. Weed Eater line; I would have never thought of that either, but it is a perfect solution. Great vid.
Thank you for posting this video. It was so usefull. I was searching around to buy this type of stuff and couldnt find it any where. Thanks to your video now i make my own.
I made some of these and even added some shrink tubing over the crimps for whatever reason. I used some #2 stainless s-biners from Nite-Ize and some small plastic adjustable cable clamps from Home Depot, that you can also attach to your rods. Used some Velcro cable ties on one end for my paddle leash. Some many ways to do it I guess. I really just enjoy DIY stuff, regardless of costs sometimes. I even used a cordless drill and put my rod in it and wrapped the line easier since it does take great hand strength to wrap manually. Great video! Thanks!
no problem im an obsessive DIYer myself. wont buy what I can make. glad you enjoyed the video. make sure to follow because I will have new content very soon
You could leave one end straight, to put inside ur pfd pocket (punch hole to inside vest and tie off) so a small tool can be leashed inside ur pocket... open zipper, pulled out leashed tool, use it and put back and zip back up...the other end can be looped through a handle or cinched on a straight handle ... (needle nose pliers)
The only addition I have seen is to get some shrink wrap tubing and put it over the crimp one the crimp is flattened; keeps the crimp from scratching and scaring things.
Phone cord is stronger and I am lucky enough to have kept mine. As to the crimps these are made of a soft compressible metal similar to that used on sailboat wire rigging. Small sizes like these are available quite inexpensively in shops selling fishing tackle as they are used to crimp wire leaders used to catch fish. Rather than hammering them closed I use a pair of Vice Grips to squeeze them closed or else use an actual vice.
Why not use a peice of para cord and the two clips and skips the twisting of plastic line around the rod boiling and retesting part of it or is that or is that a better way I need to make some myself but I see them made two ways just wondering thanks CATCH.PHOTO.RELASE
I quite agree, the smaller the diameter of the rod/dowel, the tighter the coils will be. Made a few on 1/2" rod (12.5mm) and they work fine, just a 6" (150mm) wound length will give a maximum stretch of 24" (600mm) which in my opinion is great for any tools attached. A longer wound length and therefore an extended stretched length would be better for perhaps rods/nets etc. Hope this helps chaps!

I believe the "crimps" are called ferrules.. hope that helps anybody wanting to make this own leases as I intend to.
Thanx for the share
Great tutorial! I followed this, but used a heat gun, which worked great as well! Thanks for sharing!
I paid $7 for materials and made 4 quality leashes in about an hour. Thanks for uploading this video. They work great!
Did you have left over weed eater line or other material? If so, how many leashes do you think you can make total with the invested $7?
Use a drill to twirl onto the dowel. Way tighter

Followed his instructions and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the video.

Man that's awesome. I would have never thought to use spare weed eater line.
You could leave one end straight, to put inside ur pfd pocket (punch hole to inside vest and tie off) so a small tool can be leashed inside ur pocket... open zipper, pulled out leashed tool, use it and put back and zip back up...the other end can be looped through a handle or cinched on a straight handle ...

good idea, what i've used is old cell phone charger cord..food for thought.
Phone cord is stronger and I am lucky enough to have kept mine. As to the crimps these are made of a soft compressible metal similar to that used on sailboat wire rigging. Small sizes like these are available quite inexpensively in shops selling fishing tackle as they are used to crimp wire leaders used to catch fish.

Phone cord works well too, if you remember what that is.
ineedmondayoff I made three, but I can't find anyone with corded landlines anymore :(

cool man well done
cool video.
+Jon Marcotte Thanks man. Lots of stuff coming soon new camera is about a week out
super!
I made several of these but they never stay coiled as tight as yours Is there a secret
Where did you get the crimp?
What size diameter dowel do you use? I'd think the smaller the better because you could get the coils tighter
I quite agree, the smaller the diameter of the rod/dowel, the tighter the coils will be. Made a few on 1/2" rod (12.5mm) and they work fine, just a 6" (150mm) wound length will give a maximum stretch of 24" (600mm) which in my opinion is great for any tools attached. A longer wound length and therefore an extended stretched length would be better for perhaps rods/nets etc. Hope this helps chaps!
Should probably give credit to Capn Ken from the Jax KayakFishing forum that came up with this about 10 years ago.
ItsAllAboutWins
Im sure he wasnt the first either bud. Relax
What size line did you use?
very cool
great...............
Great idea and video! Thanks!
PS you have a lot of orbs in this video (especially at 3:14)
How did you make it?
Great Idea. What size line is it ? .80
Or .65
Randy Olan pretty sure this was .65 but it would work with either
Inexpensive Outdoors , thanks again! Great job.
Where do you get the crimps(collars) from?
I bet Menards or home Depot and farm and fleet would have the crimps.

Silly, go to any casino ask for 2 or 4... BAM!
Дякую !!!
EXCELLENT !!!! Lot better than ones my wife & mother in law get @ ' casinos ' !!!!****
They r two dollars on eBay.
Browo
BUY A CRIMPING TOOL.....30 minutes is ridiculous when you can buy 10 for like $12/$14
What size crimp do you use?
