i can't tell you how many times i have arrived at my destination in my fishing kayak only to
find out that my straps have failed and i am one railroad track away from my 2500i kayak being on
the road now as you can see i have a ton of straps and what i end up doing is going to
walmart buying the cheapest four pack i can get and i started to think to myself why in the world
am i trusting a ten dollar strap to hold down my very expensive fishing kayak this is what i hate
about these straps they end up with these long tails that end up getting these types of knots
in them over time another thing is storage and i end up like this and this is two pieces i usually
have to find the other piece these end up jamming a ton uh every time i put one of these together i
always buckle through them the wrong way every time that's on me though that has nothing to
do with these things oh this is a fun game i play i don't know if you ever played this one
essentially you hook this up on one side and then you throw this over your trailer to the other side
and you get over there and you find out that the other side has come unhooked so you played this
game three or four times so you finally get it so i came across some straps that you might love
if you're having the same issues as i am when it comes to strapping down your fishing kayak or hey
you know you might not love them you might love your walmart straps hey no judgment zone here all
right these are retractable ratchet straps from a company called strapino retractable
can someone tell me why this has not been standard my entire life they literally retract after
every use no twisting no buckle threading you're not gonna have any fraying on the ends because
there are no ends because it's only one piece no more long ends you have to tie off because
once again i don't have to find the other second missing piece that my kids are probably playing
with somewhere and here's something else i like a s-hook safety clip right here gone are the days
where this thing comes unhooked from when i have it hooked or strapped around because i hit a huge
pothole or some railroad tracks this is also nice in case you run it around your runners on top of
your car when you run it around you can actually safety clip it in there now you know it's not
going to come off if you hit something or becomes loose so that is going to stay secure and the last
reason is my favorite is because it comes little holes back here that you can permanently mount
to your trailer so i'm going to take this lag screw i believe it's a 7 16 put a washer on it and
we're going to attach these things to my fishing kayak trailer so i don't have to ever search for
a piece or my straps ever get all right since i don't want this hanging off here i'm just going
to cut this off and i'll need it and there you go now i got an extra s clip for whatever i want to
use that for later retractable so click it up here i can now take it up over my kayak cup into place
all i gotta do
i'm ready to rock and roll
i'm gonna use it like that i move it up
here and then clip it on the hook make sure it's nice press it down
good to go and when i'm done i unratched it pops up tension
unhook the safety clip and now i know exactly
where's that good to go and there it is guys strapino if you're in the market
if you sounds like something yet it would be a great application for what you need
i'll throw the link in the description below not just great for kayaks but also good
for general cargo motorcycles etc so hope this helps thanks for watching see ya bye
