How to make a Hook Keeper for a Fishing Rod in seconds

[@KayakhacksFishing]

I came up with a better approach later - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHm8hHeaftuforM

Great idea. I found an old Ugly Stick in my father's garage. It had never been used! I like it.

Great idea

[@KayakhacksFishing]

Thanks! Just happened to see the washers and cable ties next to each other... eureka!

[@buythedip6130]

Another option are using zip ties that come with eyelets made into the end of the zip tie. Not only are these style of zip ties great hook keepers to add to rods, they can serve many uses in combination with small bungee cords used for securing items.I add them to all rods for securing the rods in rod holders on my kayak crate. Need to add an attachment point to your kayak for accessories - try combining these zip ties and small (smaller than 550 cord) bungees and you will find the uses are limitless for all of us kayak hacks.

Get idea! I need to get some of those

[@peteredwards1528]

I do the same but use a small split ring instead

[@KayakhacksFishing]

Good tip!

[@lindateppler3058]

Freaking. Brilliant.

your voice reminds me of Hank Hill from King of the Hill lol

[@KayakhacksFishing]

I used to watch that...maybe it had a great impact on my psyche! :-)

[@ArisRiazis]

How if I using rubber matt so the cable ties won't move?

[@KayakhacksFishing]

That should work - give it a try

[@cameronwalker3677]

Arent you afraid the washer will gouge your rod?

[@KayakhacksFishing]

Since the washer is rubber, it will not cause an issue. BUT... I came up with a better idea later - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHm8hHeaftuforM

You lost me at "good rods, like Ugly Stiks"

[@KayakhacksFishing]

lol!

[@anonymousgamers4293]

Ugly sticks aren't bad either

[@philipwuellner35]

1. Ugly sticks are not good rods. 2. Put the hook under reel seat

[@KayakhacksFishing]

Thank you for that alternative suggestion!

[@aqualung1466]

1. Correct 2. Why?

[@eltamdma227]

ugly sticks are 50$ rods, just gtfo of here
