lanyard

[Martin]

Whilst it might not be traditional as I'm not sure how far back they date, I required a coiled lanyard for my new fly fishing scoop net so rather than buyone I thought I'd make my own.

3' of strimmer line a couple if clip swivels and some shrink tube ta da



Simple to make just needs coiling tightly around something securing then boiling for 10min then dunking in ice cold water to 'set' it. Hopefully it should prevent my net from disappearing without me noticing if it releases from the magnetic attachment

Nicely done Martin

[Santiago]

Fantastic, I have several uses for some of them!

[Martin]

Oh forgot I ran some superglue down the shrink tube as I didn't have any crimps

Neat! I've been wondering how to straighten a bit of dayglow strimmmer rod for float tips... boil and ice, eh? Cheers!:Thumb:

Well it works coiled tight so I'd guess it might work taped straight onto something

[Vole]

Or with a biggish weight hanging from it...

[Martin]

Yes that should probably work too, been thinking if it was taped to something then immeresed in water you could probably microwave it in half the time
