Great idea Nate. Cheap, clean and unobtrusive. For those who do not want to mess with clipping and unclipping the leash to the rod, here is another solution posted a few weeks ago. With this device you can leash or unleash a rod very quickly and easily which means some of us who tend to get a little lazy at times, might actually do it.

I have to thank Fongman for this great rod leash idea. I modified his idea a bit so it works best for me. Go to Home Depot, Walmart, Lowe's or just about anywhere and pick up some tarp tie-downs. You can use them right out of the package or modify them as I did by adding a rubber sleeve which makes them rigid.

Attach them to every rod holder. When you have a rod in the holder, simply stretch the bungee over the reel handle and your gear will stay on board during just about any disaster. Here are some photos.
