A couple of clips and zip ties, and I'm good to go. Less effort to make and works just as good.

I've been using variations using a coiled cell phone charger. I don't like the big clips connecting to the rod/reel. I found stainless steel key chain that has about 7 of these SS clips for about $5.
They are small and much easier on the hands while using the rod/reel. I keep the small rope loop around the rod near the reel clamp. It's loose but secures the rod/reel. The small SS clip to the rope on the rod/reel and the other brass connected to the kayak.
The oldest leash is about 4 years. I'm sure it won't hold 40 lbs of pressure but works great to protect knives, plyers, rods, etc. from falling to the bottom of the ocean.
