The paddle leash is probably the least thought about piece of kit we kayak fishermen think about the paddle leash is not just there to stop you from loosing your paddle it’s also a very important piece of safety kit. Crack of dawn paddle leash My first impressions review of this paddle leash are. the first thing you will notice is the over all quality of this leash it has been made to the highest standards the fittings all have rounded ends and edges so you wont get any scratch from using it . both ends of this paddle leash incorporate a stainless steel encapsulated swivel so you wont get any twisting as the day goes on while using it the black coiled spring like main body is very easy to stretch it is made from a non memory plastic material so when its stretched it wont remember its stretched shape it will pop straight back to its coiled position. the paddle strap on it is an over locking double Velcro strap so even if one of the wide Velcro straps were to somehow undo the other would still be fastened which means your paddle is very securely held and safe . I stretched the leash to 10 ft without and problems at all and it just returned to its original size. All in all I think this is one of those pieces of kit we can not do without. It is the best quality paddle leash I have seen. The retail of this paddle leash is £8.45 from h20 www.h2okayaks.com/unitrader/shop/product/Kayak-Canoe-Paddle-Leash/123We will add to this review once we have used it a couple of times
