Stainless Fishing Gear Tether

Keep your fishing gear attached to your boat,  jet ski, or kayak!  This strong stainless steel tether will greatly reduce the chance of loss of equipment while travelling.
 
I've been using this style of tether myself. I tried several ones available locally, and found the flexible "bungy" fabric and coiled wire types unsuitable for all of my fishing use. After using this design now for over 18 months in extreme sea conditions, I decided to make these available for other fishing craft users. 
 
These stainless tethers are designed to secure your gear to your ski or boat. The clip for securing your gear is easily attached or removed with a single hand. Caribiner- style clips are very difficult to remove without using two hands, so  they just don't cut it for fishing!
 
The locking clip on the other end works well  as it stops the chance of removing the wrong clips by accident and losing the tether overboard.  It has a screw barrel to stop the clip being removed by accident.
 
I chose the length to match the needs of fishing from jet skis, but will suit other craft. Longer or shorter ones are just unsuitable, get in the way, or cost too much for the need.
