Boy-O do I agree with the thong add on IF ever think might be used on/in/near water. I've not lost anything to the Aquagods YET, but I've witnessed several things disappear in the ocean/lake/quarry including knives, cameras and the best was watching a buddy feed anchor rope hand-over-hand all the way in.....having forgotten to tie off HIS new anchor in HIS new boat. Priceless expression.
And my wonderful wife throwing one of my salt water rigs into waste deep surf during her first double hook-up in her first Bluefish Blitz. Reeling hard as she could she couldn't stay ahead of them hooked & coming hard straight at her legs. I retrieved it even with two on my own rod. We laughed hard two hours later when they gave us a break.
Sorry.....took a side road there.
