[QUOTE="ORCUS DEMENS, post: 80689, member: 1779"] Johnr, that is exactly what happened, most expensive rod, was even tethered with a velcro strap. That was the weak link. KDM, for the fishing rods I use para cord tied to the blank above the reel, which is then run down the handle where a different type of velcro strap holds it snug and keeps it from tangling in the reel. The lead is about 5' long and tied to a carabiner. The carabiner hooks to an eye strap either side of the yak. Small net, again tied with paracord to an eye strap and is stored between the hull and a bungee. I use small polycarbonate dry boxes for tackle, even with sinkers it still floats, also tied off with paracord (are you seeing the trend here??) The well behind the seat hols a 36 qt cooler perfectly. A few bungees to hold it and secure the lid (don't want to lose fish or frosty beverages), and you are set. If you want to take a look and you are near Minot I can drop it and show you the setup. Like most things in life it is a work in progress. Good luck in your search. [/QUOTE]
