preventing rod loss while longline trolling
Anybody ever use rod/pole floats to prevent the loss of equipment? I recently purchased hi-tek rod holders and they have been great for night fishing and spider rigging but I'm somewhat hesitant about longline trolling and pulling cranks. I've read about the L-shaped hanger modification but was wondering if a pool noodle might save me some time and a few $$$. Rod wrap is pretty expensive compared to the 20 cent it would cost me for a pool noodle. Also, what about rod leashes aka cable cuffs?
