DIY - How to make LEASHES for fishing rods and Kayak gear

DIY - How to make LEASHES for fishing rods and Kayak gear
Hello guys
With this bad weather that we have been having I cant get out to fish.
So I made another "DIY" video called "Get over here" that explains how I make the leashes to hold all the gear that is in the kayak with us. Rods, knives, pliers, Nets, icebox ...
Hope you enjoy the video and if so, please share it, press that like button, give me your feedback and subscribe if you haven't already.
Thanks.

One tip,no charge...since you have boiling water near on the stove,instead of burning thermo sleeves with lighter just sink it in the boiling water for a few seconds,it shrinks the same...especially when you have some delicate thing like shinking the tube on the fishing hooks where you can't go near with the lighter cause you would burn the line or braid. Excellent video btw,I will try to make it... 🥂

[@JTAKayakFishing]

That's a pretty good idea. But you'll need to be quick or the water won't be hot enough. Or you'll have to reheat the water Let me know how it went :D

[@kravanamjesecu]

@@JTAKayakFishing I've done 4 of them,2 of 2mm and 2 of 3 mm. My thumbs hurts like hell now. 😁 Tried to boil the heat shrinks but actually that didn't do well...in the end I've heat it up with heating fan. Thanks for the video,it made me get up and do something usefull today... 😃👍🏻

[@JTAKayakFishing]

@@kravanamjesecu Holy crap I'm an influencer now hehehe :D Kidding, thank you for actually taking the time to give some feedback and trying it out for your self. The first ones make your hands hurt like hell, but the more you make them the easier it will get, you will realise you don't need to make all that strength to keep everything in place and it won't hurt as much. In this Corona virus lock down we are going true in Portugal, you just made my day. Thank you :D

[@kravanamjesecu]

@@JTAKayakFishing since the first 4 a made a dozen of slim ones for my friends. Now I don't use anymore hand power,instead I put a tube in the battery screwdriver and use the torque from the drill...one cord takes mi about 5 minutes including the heating.

[@geoffmarriott4387]

Great video and ignore the comments about being able to buy for $n - these people just don't understand the satisfaction you get from making your own kit - it's not about the cost or ease - come the apocalypse they will be coming to you - keep up the good work

Thanks for your feedback. It really is a lot more satisfying to do some of this stuff ourselves 😎

[@markdancer3501]

I had seen other videos on how to make the leashes, but your technique for reversing the coil direction using the stick is just so much easier. Also like the use of the heat shink to neaten up the crimps. Thanks for the video.

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Jason Yannuccelli thanks I’m glad you found it useful. And for sure this way is a lot cheaper and obviously more satisfying as well. To reverse the coil, just star twisting the nylon the other way. I have made key chains with thinner nylon as well with this technique 😜

Hi Investigator, try electricians stores, or even fishing tackle stores that are more salt water focus. :D

[@wayfararout6258]

I just lost my fish and my grabbers yesterday in a tournament and it ended my day

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Damn man that's rough. All because you didn't have a leash? I have lost rods because I didnt had leashes on my gear but never in a crucial moment like that. Feels bad man. Hope you give this a try then :D

[@tomb1198]

Wood dowels work as well to wrap the line around. I used an old large baking pan to boil thrm in. Could make them longer.

[@JTAKayakFishing]

I guess anything that's tubular that won't be ruined by the boiling water, will do the job. Mine extento to more than 1 meter, it's very useful that way. :D

[@theimpaler5034]

I use leg ropes or body boarding ropes it's all done very little mods needed and there designed to stretch and there saltwater use and last longer

Hi, they're crimps. Just type crimps on google and you will see. You can get them on electrician stores. Fishing tackle stores also have them but it's more expensive. Thanks for you feedback :D

[@snuffcan]

Great video, what size crimps did you use for the 3mm nylon line?

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Hi thanks, I used 3x6mm. The more snug you can get them the better they will grip the nylon 😀

[@larryrudolf667]

Larry R I really like the way you made the leases. Could you list the size of the nylon line used and the size of the aluminum tune you used to wrap the coil for boiling?

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Hi thanks,. I have 2 sizes for the nylon and the aluminium tubes. The bigger leash is 3mm nylon and 16mm tube, The smaller one is 2mm nylon and 8mm tube. But you can try any different sizes.

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Obrigado, depois mostra como ficou 😜

[@kkay8209]

Nice video. Sorry if I missed it somewhere but I have a few questions. First what diameter is the larger aluminum tubing and what length did you cut it? Secondly, What was the finished length of your leash...and how far does it stretch out? Lastly do you know the ratio of number of feet of trimmer cord to length of finished product? Thanks for your help.

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Hi thanks. The larger tube is 16mm and its cut to the length of the frying pan.The finished length on this one is around 30cm. I haven't tested it out to see how much it stretches but it's a lot, You never need to stretch it to the max. And it takes around 5m of nylon. You don't have to make them this big. I just like it that way so not to stretch them too much and deforme them. And can have them hooked to one side and move them around the kayak to different rod holders and it's no problem at all.

[@toddshobbyzone659]

hi, can you post any links for the supplies--- the nylon and the crimps?

Hi, good video...got me inspired! What brand and size is the lime green weed eater line?? Can only find orange...uck! Really would like the lime green. Thanks.

[@JTAKayakFishing]

BarbedStar hi i'm glad you liked it and got you inspired to go out and try it for yourself. i dont think it really matters the brand cause i bought it in Portugal. but orange is a great color, higley visible and ist a cool color. Just try it and see if it looks cool. at least you wont lose your gear. let me know how it works out and share some pics.🤙

[@gettinrings]

If you want a different color ...you can put 550 Para cord cover over the weed eater line...just pull out the center strings of the Para cord and slide the para cord cover onto the weed eater line.... para cord comes in any color and the texture is like a rope....I saw a KZbin video sometime ago on how to do it .... PART ONE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXube2Ofmq-Vn6c PART TWO: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lafQi2uoZtihjqM

[@barbedstar6480]

Thanks, may have to para cord them....no lime green to be found around here.

[@JTAKayakFishing]

I have seen that video also. Thought about doing it but since I use mine primordly in salt water, it would not be very good cause it would catch a lot of salt when it dries. And salt its not a friend of fishing gear. I normally don't even wash the rod leachs, just trow them with the rod holders in the trunk of the car and take them out next fishing trip. But if the color means that much to you then go for it. Don't forget to show the end results.

[@barbedstar6480]

Kayak is lime green, (maybe limey yellow), bright blue and white...orange just did not cut it. So I went with used black phone charger cords that ended up being just perfect. The one that I put on my paddle was never in the way when we 'yaked' yesterday. Got that idea from Pintrest. All is well that ends well! Thanks for your video and reply.

Hi, you can use any size actually as long as the line goes thru them. After that its just a matter of using the plier and clamp on tight.

I like to use old telephone wires they stretch out real good

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Great, the important thing is to secure or gear right. But wont the copper wire inside rust, especially in salt water?

[@Brandon6453]

@@JTAKayakFishing Copper wont rust... Only iron Fe2O3 is chemical equation. Now copper does patina (turns from shiny to green like statue of liberty)

[@JTAKayakFishing]

@@Brandon6453 The patina is the coppers oxidation, meaning it will eventually break. And considering it's a small wire inside, and that you have salt water, it will happen very fast. So the problem is still the same. Call it rust or call it patina. Any metal in a saltwater environment, you are bound to have problems. With the add it bonus of green oxidation starting to spread everywhere. With this nylon ones, that's just not even a problem to consider.

[@Brandon6453]

@@JTAKayakFishing I wouldnt trust copper phone line either. For a tool sure, but not a rod. Also you can chuck your rods in a drill to do your wraps for you.

[@francorossi5966]

Great video! What if instead of boiling i use a hot air gun?

[@JTAKayakFishing]

It may work as well. I think by boiling it gets heat in a more even way to all of the coil. with the heat gun you can run the risk of overheating some parts, deforming them. But give it a go and then tell me how it went.

[@francorossi5966]

@@JTAKayakFishing ok so i tryed right now.. and yes is like you sad.the result is good but not perfect. There are few parts with a different curve

[@sparkiekosten5902]

Trying this right now but my hands ache after trying to twist on nylon on the rod. I have to do 4 of them. How did you stop your hands aching?

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Hi, yes it hurts a little bit because of the force you have to do to stop the nylon from uncoiling on the tube and it takes a wile to coil the entire tube. I don't have any advice for stopping the aching on your hands. Just think you will only need 4 leashes and not 40 😀😎👍

[@sparkiekosten5902]

@@JTAKayakFishing My hands didn't ache so bad after the 4th one. The first leash was murder....The fourth not so bad. I'm very happy with my outcome. How are yours holding up after all this time? Thanks for the video.

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Sparkie Kosten Ya I forgot that, the first one was the hardest one to do, after a few it gets easier and easier. I guess we kinda get to know how much strength it actually takes to get the job done with less effort. My leashes not only are they still going strong and I have them for little over a year but I have done a couple few more to use on other stuf. In my last video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIHOqImBj9aqnbM you can see that my rods and knife leashes are still the first ones I made and I dont even take them out of the kayak they are allways there. And I have made new leashes for my radio that I have attached to my vest. I also have made keychains using this leashes with thinner nylon. I really like the outcome, had no idea it would work out this great. I'm glad it helped you to go out and try it for yourself. Cheers. 👍💪

[@t1rider654]

I used 3/8" wood dowel which I chucked in my 18v drill. Spun up slowly and used hand to guide the coil loops. No hurting hands!

[@jayl24]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea! I tried with very thin line (0.065") and the coil was very loose. I guess that you used a much thicker trimmer line? Also it's hard to find lines with a round cross-section. Does a different shape other than round work? Thank you so much!

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Hi Jay L, thank you for your comments :D I really appreciate you taking the time :D The blue line that I have it's actually 0.0078" só the difference is not all that great. When you finish the 15 minutes of boiling the coil in the water, did you flip the coil like I do? Cause it gets a lot tighter when you flip it. I have seen those square lines but I have never tried them out. Maybe you can test that out tu see and get back to me. But you shouldn't have any problems getting the round ones in gardening stores. Have it a go and let me know :D

[@jayl24]

Thanks for the reply! I made another one today with 0.065" round line and it turned out to be considerably better. Maybe shape is one factor. What size of the aluminum crimps that you used for your 0.078" line? Amazon sells only two sizes (1/16" and 1/8") of crimps that are relevant. I will try to get some 0.095" line with 1/8" crimps to see what happens. Cheers

[@JTAKayakFishing]

@@jayl24 Don't stress about the size of the crimps. As long as you can fit the line and after you crimp it, its secure. Thats fine. And the more you make them, the easier it will get and the better they will be.

This is amazing and impressive. However, there is a Van Staal made leash for only 25 bucks. The cost of that 400 pound mono you used here is pretty high I would think so it's probably more efficient to buy the Van Staal leashes on ebay.

Hi Richard, thanks for the comments :D But actually the nylon costs around 3.5€ for 15m. And if i'm not mistaken, it's enough for 3 or 4 leaches. like the one I make, witch are pretty big.. .

Nippers to crimp a lug? Not good.. go buy a set of crimpers

How do you discover it was 400 pound mono? I thought it was weed wacker cord. Yeah a comment or subtitles of some usefulness in the video would have been nice.

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Hi thanks for your feedback. Where do I say it's a 400 pounds mono line? In fact the subtitles on the video, actually say that it's a weed cutter line. If you go to a gardening store, you will see them in several sizes, colors and shapes. If you actually seen the entire video, I feel there's no way you can make that assumption. So I don't get you question and your comment on having subtitles. But I guess that was something that you just had to say right. O well, give it a try you may like the result and be a little bit happier with your life.

Found this system very annoying to Use the coils tangle around everything .3mm bunnies cord is far better

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Check out my other videos were I'm actually fishing and see how I do it. Maybe you can get the idea of how to use them without tangling everything up. But whatever works for each of us right 😀

Needs to add comintery so we know what's happening if we want to go and get the stuff to do it ourselves

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Did you even watched the video?? Because what you are saying kinda feels like you haven't.

[@TheWingnut58]

Yeah, we all watched the video and listened to the shitty background "music".... But most people want INSTRUCTIONS from a "how to" video, not fast forwarded half assed "look what I did" bullshit.

[@theguywitheyebrows]

@@TheWingnut58 ...seriously? poke a couple holes in the ends of a stick, wrap the line around the stick with both ends secured in the stick, dip into boiling water for some time, create loops on the ends, heat shrink tubing for aesthetics, add clips, use to keep your shit outta the water....

[@TheWingnut58]

@@theguywitheyebrows yes, seriously....the title says HOW TO and there was no instructions. And BTW, I've been making my own for decades....the title just sucks, so go FY....

that looks like wayyyyy too much work when I can just buy real ones on Amazon...JMO

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Has opposed to this ones that are fake? But don't even stress about it, here you go: bit.do/eBxZT Thanks for the feedback :D

Matt Fischer now that’s what u call handmade....quality at it best.

[@JTAKayakFishing]

Thanks, at the very least it's more gratifying :D

[@motleypixel]

Great, but missing MANY critical things that ALL DIY videos include and they are specifics, sizes, lengths, diameters, material types, tooling specifics, etc., etc. I appreciate all youtubers taking the time to record, post process and publish, but this is NOT a DIY video, it's a show-"off" and tell at very least.

[@motleypixel]

@President Funny Valentine D4C common sense tell me you couldn't make the "identical" leash in the video if your life depended on it...why?...because like I said, he doesn't give any specifics, sometimes abbreviated "specs". I guess you never care to read specs in the index about products.

[@rustafar_2354]

@@motleypixel You must not have any imagination or can't think for yourself. which is it ?? Choose one.

[@motleypixel]

@@rustafar_2354 I "think" he left out elements that are fundamental to DIY videos; thus, it's not a DIY video. @russ peck can you not read my original reply or did you just jump to this conclusion w/o reading it?

[@jckdnls9292]

Would be better if u actually explained the materials and process...

[@JTAKayakFishing]

what more do you think i could have done? How would you have explained the materials and the process? Cause I'm thinking that I explained the nylon weed cutter, the metal tube, and the crimps. And I made an entire video showing how I did the process from start to finish. So I'm curious on what you would have done different.

[@scottatwood1203]

What a bloody hassle

[@rustafar_2354]

You might as well said you're lazy and don't know how to DIY. I fixed it for ya.
