Bungee Paddle Leash/Accessory Leash. Made in USA.

I purchased three of these for mine and my son's kayaks. It works great at a great price. Since I do a lot of fishing from my kayak I also use one of these to secure my extra rod. I normally carry two rods. I don't bother securing the rod that I'm using because the leash get's in my way. But I do use it to secure the second rod which is sticking up in the rod holder behind me. I normally fish in cypress covered bayous and lakes so I'm often paddling under around tree branches. The branches sometimes drag the rod out of the holder send me scrambling to grab it before it sinks. Now I don't have to worry about it. I just slip the leash over the grip, snug it up and drop in the holder behind me. It's a good leash. Go for it!

terrific as I did 1275 miles down the Mississippi River so far. I have dragged the boat along the shoreline with kayak weighing 65 pounds plus my gear of 75 pounds,I. used the leash to tie to docks in fast moving water, etc. this is a wonderful leash. I now use it on my surfski in the Pacific ocean and no the salt water doesn't bother it any more than the muddy water. It still looks new. One complaint its too thick must have been a different leash. One complaint too long, well yes it may be, So wrap the clip end around something to shorten it. Might I caution you if you fall out in the ocean that extra length can allow the paddle to float out of your way when you reenter the boat, and if you are dragging your kayak along the shore or the boat dock that length is beneficial. A re-coi l device would be nice but they always get stuck. I think this is the best.

These have worked great for my kayak paddles. I only go into the ocean and have to fight large waves to get out. Even though I have paddle clips the waves will knock off these paddles from the kayak and these leashes keep the paddles from going AWOL. Very good quality and priced right.

I bought this to go with my grandsons paddle we bought for Christmas. He has not used this as of yet but it's necessary to keep from loosing the paddle. It looks like it is well enough to do the job.

I purchased these AFTER my kayak capsized against a big tree that was laying across the river, I was side ways alongside the tree trunk and with the water rushing against me, could not move. In getting out, the kayak filled with water and everything I had with me that wasn't in the enclosed part floated down the river. I was able to retrieve all but one shoe, and realized how lucky I was that I kept a grip on my paddle. I had a couple others that came back to help me get the kayak emptied out, which was nearly impossible with all the water rushing in. All turned out well, but I knew then that I definitely wanted something to hold my paddle in case this ever happened again and I wasn't quite as lucky. This bungee leash is a very nice quality and easily connects to the paddle and the kayak. Don't be without one if you're paddling down rivers!

Works perfectly. The cord feels strong and well made. I feel comfortable letting go of the paddle with this attached. When tightened, it does not shift around on the paddle which my original concern.

It works fine for keeping track of dropped paddles, but I'm concerned that if I were to become tangled after capsizing it would not break away like one with a velcro attachment and could pose a safety risk.

I don't like those kayak leashes that are coiled - they're too tight across my lap and pull annoyingly against my paddle strokes. The looseness of this leash is just right - makes it easy to get in and out of the kayak without getting tangled. And it doesn't rub against my bare legs like the coiled leashes do. I don't have to remove it to transport the kayak; I just stretch it across the molded handles. I bought this leash for both my kayaks. If I get another yak, I'll buy a third.
