Thanks captken for the pictures and run down on that line holder. I use a simular holder but I used 45s and the cross pvc and made it like an X. Its smaller and less parts but works the same way, toss and float. Lovethe button idea. You just solved a couple of other problems for me as well.

Love all of your other gizmologicoial ideas as well. Please don't stop now.

Fair leads and tight lines.

I don't have the smaller - closer-up pictures of it on this computer. If you look closely... you can see the D ring with the line running through it... even tho in this pic, I had just added them so the line was veryloose. I used 4" of vinyl strapping, folded it twice then used a ss washer and screwed them in. This way, you can run the line and move the yak where ever you want on each side. To change sides... back the yak up... then attach it on the other side through the larger ring.. which in my case... then attaches to a quick release wedge. (can't think of the correct name right now)...

Sorry to hijack this thread.... :doh

It took a while to read all the replies this morning. My computer is in the shop and I am using an old one my wife uses for her quilting design programs. I needed a bunch more memory to effectively run some of the huge programs I am using for the E-Books. I had to figure out how to log in too.

Anyhow---I can't remember the last time I used my paddle holder for anything but to hold my anchor. My paddle lays across my lap because it is instantly available there. The paddle makes a good emergency "pontoon" if I need it. Also handy to swat alligators and Great Whites.

Hey Charles.. (Hotdog)... If you click on the below link.. you will also see in the picture prior to mine, the chartruese line and black holder I was telling you about from Home Depot. It might be 6" wide... not for sure, as I haven't looked at it for a while. I keep forgetting to bring the anchor when I go out but next time I will bring it. I also use it to stationary fish at the 3 mile bridge.. thus the need for more line on it, since that is around 30' deep. I'm pretty sure it has 75'... if anyone knows... please correct me. :doh
