Why have one?

One tip from my kayak seminars - I use a three-hook sabiki and when
storing this on my light bass rod, I connect the two upper hooks together
and hook the bottom hook on a guide or the reel and keep the line tight.

You can do the same with 5 or 7 hooks too.

As long as each hook is taught, and there are no loose hooks swinging
around, you will be fine w/o a "sabiki" rod (no doubt the gear stores all
LOVE to sell them to you though ... and, may promise you that they are
required kayak gear. )

Storage and recovery/reuse of longer sabiki strings by themselves is a
mess, and is why I use three hook strings.

Hope that helps.
