You might as well buy a rod leash for 10bucks and it will hold up longer and better than this. From what I think id rather spend a few bucks more than to risk losing a pole that can cost hundreds.
This vid shows a cheap and easy way but if you really value your pole that much then you might as well buy a rod leash. . . . not make one that could potentially break.

Who said it is to stop a fish from taking the rod? It is so you don't lose it overboard, primarily if you turtle your kayak, or during surf launches... Hense it is not "ghetto."

Wow!!!! That is not very cool. Toast, all of these "How To's" are excellent stuff. You cover stuff for everyone from a novice to a seasoned veteran. Good job on this. One of my fishing bud's did this exact thing and they have held up for at least two seasons now.

How do the zip ties hold? I can't imagine they'd hold great... I used crimps, and covered them with shrink wrap tubing I had lying around just to clean them up a bit... and carabeeners work great... they clip right to the reel seat of spinning reels. I appreciate the idea though!

I like using carabeeners instead of those clips. And these little metal crimp things instead of zip ties.
