3 black gear leashes included, 1 for the paddle, 2 additional leashes for rods or other light gear. If a super long leash is needed, they simply loop together, (See the picture of the loops)Fixed elongation, Will not over stretch and loose elasticity. Woven construction and long bar-tack sewn, Built to last.20 inches of elongation keeps it out of the way but gives you the reach you need when paddling or reeling in the big one.Leashes, good for the water or the woods to keep your light gear safe.A great wading leash. The 20" bungee section takes just the right amount of force to make this a great wading leash. The bungee reduces the jerking of the kayak when attached to you while wading the shallows.
I own a couple Perception Sound 10.5's which are the same thing but without the extra fishing gear that Dick's slaps on to sell them as the Hook 10.5.
Glad you got to have a good river float yesterday! Got some pictures of them fish? :)
Leashes! These work great for me. Have yet to lose a rod or a paddle. The paddle one can be looped simply enough and attached with cheap caribiners. The rod ones are similar but I used a key ring and two zip ties on the butt of the rod, hasn't moved in two years and still removable if I need it to be.
Everyone else has been sharing some great advice, I followed the same advice when I started.
I use these.
I really like these these leashes. Cheap small and strong.
I'm officially picking up my yak tomorrow and I'm pretty pumped about it. I'm not bringing my fishing gear the first few times I go out. As the top comment on your post states I'll only be bringing my PFD, paddle, leash and my watertight box to protect my keys and belongings while I'm out there.
I bought this PFD and wasn't aware that it actually comes with a whistle in the front pocket. Didn't realize that's what that orange thing is in the picture. The description doesn't even mention it.
As for leashes, I bought this pack of 1 paddle + two pole leashes, though I got super lucky and got an Amazon Warehouse Deal that cut the price in half. Another highly-rated option would be this set, which are a lot cheaper without taking advantage of used or sale products.
This is the watertight box I'm bringing. Only $10 at Walmart. They carry the same one at Dick's for $15.
Quit while you're ahead.
JK, just be prepared for some headaches. What kayak do you have? I fish out of a hobie compass and it's a great platform for me to fish with both conventional gear and fly gear. I fish warm water lakes though with an 8 wt rod. I can catch fish with conventional gear from the kayak but still haven't caught a bass with my fly rod yet.
My biggest struggle is casting with a kayak that is constantly moving. So I use a yakattack 8ft stakeout pole, they also have one that breaks in down in 2 combined with a DIY anchor trolley in more shallow areas. Haven't messed with a deployable anchor yet though.
I also really like the yakattack omega rod holder as it can hold a fly rod, or spinning, or baitcast.
Leash it or lose it EVERYTIME you go out on the water go out as if you know you're going to flip. Wear appropriate clothing depending on the weather. If it's cold don't go out alone.
