Title: Handy Bait Elastic Holder
Post by: SAfish on October 27, 2012, 04:30:11 PM: Handy Bait Elastic Holder

What you will need:
1. 1 x Bull clip
2. 1 x Bolt and lock nut
3. your favourite bait elastic or cotton

This clip is very versatile and can be clipped to your bait board, chiller handle, bucket or your H-frame.

The photos below are pretty much self-explanatory.

Heman I got no idea. One of my friends dad enters every month with some new idea he comes up with and the prizes are not huge but is still wuth something. Tackle is tackle and its even better when its free.

This will be very handy on a boat/Kayak too .
Title: Re: Handy Bait Elastic Holder
Post by: SAfish on October 29, 2012, 12:07:07 PM: :tkx: I got tired of my elastic falling in the sand or water and it looks like this will solve the problem. I know the clip will rust eventually but it is not expensive and can be replaced without a hassle.

Post by: Toppie on April 05, 2013, 07:05:52 AM: Nice idea Hermann!

Now can somebody perhaps share, where can one get of that better quality slightly thicker latex rubber elastic used as binding for bait like the one's Homie usues?

Great idea SAfish! :+ cred:

The guy that patented the idea of a tourch on a cell, phone probably also thought it was also "too simple". I am sure at the moment the hardest job he has, is getting out of bed in the morning.

:tkx: This was my problem as well and I used to drop it in the sand which just made the whole thing a mess. Since I made this "clip" I have not lost one and it stays clean and is always handy at your bait station.

The only change I'l make is a butterfly nut to easily change the cotton on the beach..
No spanner needed..

:udman:
:tkx: True, and you are right, it will be easier to change the cotton on the beach if you use a wing nut. The reason I used a lock nut is it ensures that it does not come undone over time because you have to leave some play for the cotton's spool to spin freely. It is also easier to check that you have enough cotton on there before you go fishing.
