Gerber Defender Freshwater Retractable Fishing Lanyard Safety Tether with Carabiner for Fishing Boating Hiking Camping Hunting Tools - Compact - 31-003297

Attention all trout fishermen and fisherwomen. This is a huge upgrade to the short standard tethers. I saw them in the flyshop on display. Sure had heartburn for the $45 price tag at numerous fly shops. Found it on Amazon for $27.00. Since my purchase, four others have obtained from Amazon. This tether extends way beyond your arm unlike the cheapy kind that might have 16-18”. I highly recommend this Gerber product.

Helps me keep my fishing tool close and I never lose it.

These are great quality and last a while. My husband only uses this brand for work.

Been using this for key fob access to buildings. Works great. No issues 5 months in.

Maybe this is me, but in reading about this ZINGER, I was lead to believe that there was a lock to prevent the zinger from retracting. As it turns out, you loop a finger through a hole and that is what prevents the retracting; nothing original in this design. I will keep it, but a little $ for what it actually does. My old Gear Keeper was more innovative, but also more $$$
