Coiled para cord - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I used the Rino-Tuff .095" line and the Everbilt reflective black paracord and they came out perfect. Just haven't added the clips.

I boiled mine for about 30 mins so I do not think you boiled it too long. I also did not put them in a ice bath. I saw a comment somewhere on a youtube vid to not cool it with an ice batch and to make sure you wrap it around the rod REALLY tight. When I did 4 of them I had to take a few breaks because my fingers were hurting lol. I used 4 wooden dowels and was too lazy to modify them so that I can use my drill to wrap them. I probably used a 5/8" dowel and it appears to be a perfect size.

On the kayak end I will use the #2 Nite Ize s-biner($2). On the rod end I will use the Everbilt plastic buckle from Home Depot($1). This brings each leash to about $5.
