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.

Thanks guys. I will give it a go but don't think I'll win with such a simple idea.

I reckon the beauty is in exactly that... awesome simplicity. Nice one SA

Thank you for sharing, great idea

Thanx for sharing. Like to see which tackle shop will steal the idea and sell it off as their own.

I made one after seeing yours in December at Plett.
Really works well, thanks Hermann!!

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?

you can email your idea to etienne@stywelyne.net just got it out of the nov 2012 issue

Not sure if there will be any response to this mail address, I think Etienne Kriel passed away earlier this year.

Great idea SAfish!

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.

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.

Brilliant!

Bigben · « **Reply #37 on:** January 28, 2015, 01:06:24 PM »

Brilliant idea..

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

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.
