charlieannear Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 After a couple of recent threads which detailed the loss of rods and reels into the briney, I thought I'd make some landyards up. After choking on the per-metre price of 3mm line in the local chandleries, and not liking how stiff that stuff is, I ordered 30m of paracord and some nice mini spring-clips off ebay for £17, then realised it was coming from Hong Kong and would take about a month so ordered the same again from someone in the UK! Top Tip- check where your ebay bargains are coming from! Then in Asda today I spotted a packet of 4 paracord guy-lines for £2, so got them as well! When I got home, Postie turned up with the sprung-clips from the UK ebay seller, and so I turned 4 guy-lines and 16 spring-clips into 8 landyards (when the ebay Paracord turns up I'll keep that form something else! ) Anyway, here's one of them: My plan is to use the big clip (which is still tiny) around the rail (or other attachment point on the boat) and the small clip in a loop around the reel-seat. The clips were about a quid each and the line was 25p per landyard. Hopefully will be a bit quicker than tying knots every time. Reel Wizzard, Mark26, alfie and 1 other 4 Quote
