Stashing the 'Hook Up'

Post by Fritz »

Ok lads and lasses is your 'Hook up' lead a bit on the mauling side,,,,,,I mean what do you do with yours when it is not in use >?
How do you store it ? and what do you store it in ?

I had mine in a heavy weight carrier bag till recently and now it is living in my work rucsack till I can find a better place for it to live......

If I had it on a reel it would be still a pain to stash in the van, what am I to use ???

Regards

Fritz,,,,,,,,,

Got one of those plastic winders that you wrap it round, and then that fits into the nylon bag that comes with it, so if it`s wet and dirty it stays in the bag. Got mine from Towsure, they also do a reel-type winder that`s a bit bulkier.
Keep it real.
