A Longline Snap is the
piece that connects to your
downrigger cable.
You can search the internet
and find these for under a
$1 snap.
Seattle Marine and Fishing
Supply has them, as does
Sportmans Warehouse.
They call them trotline clips
and would pair up with
kokanee setups.
ROD TIES
This is a design that is
about as simple as you can
get and is great for keeping
your broken-down rods
easily organized and secure.
It consists of a 6-inch piece
of 4mm elastic cord and
a backpack cord lock. The
cord locks can be found
on eBay for under 10 cents
a cord lock. Simple thread
the elastic through the cord
lock and tie a knot on either
end. You can easily make
enough for all your rods,
and your friends rods, for
the cost of a couple store
store-bought ones.
All around us are simple
household products that
can make our angling lives
more efficient and less
costly. I encourage you to
let your imagination run
free as you find your own
solutions and save money
in the process.
