    t-top rod leashes

    just recently, i was running with a full t top of rods and hit a wake and almost lost one outfit but it was caught miracuously by the other rods somehow. I was wondering if anyone makes some kind of retractable or coil lanyard thing that velcros onto your rod or something? or i was thinking of modifying plier lanyards to work.

    Run a bungi with hooks on either end from one side of the t-top to the other. Run it through the gap between the line and the reel/rod, depending on how many you have.

    Unhook once you get to where the fish are.

    I use a small bungie on each rod....the kicker is

    What if the rod holder weldz give way. U might be surprized

    Contact your builder of boat and ask what size rod and reel are preferable in the T-top holders.
