A rod lanyard designed for spinning reel combos to prevent accidental loss of fishing rod and reel combos.
A classic Aussie morning. The air is crisp and smells of salt and fresh bait. The sun's just starting to paint the sky with those vibrant colours you only get at dawn. Your fishing rods are baited, and you're ready to cast your lines into the waters of the river below. You know that feeling, right? That mix of excitement and anticipation, the hope that today's the day you'll fill your fishing bucket to the brim (within bag limits, of course).
But then it happens—a clumsy moment, a rogue bump from the wake of another boat flying full speed up the channel, or maybe just a lapse in concentration. And splash – the spinning reel and rod you paid good money for, one from our fishing tackle shop perhaps, is overboard. Your heart sinks faster than a lead weight. You watch helplessly as your expensive fishing rod and reel combo swim away, along with any potential to catch fish for the remainder of the day.
Many of us Aussie anglers have been there. The Shimano Recoil Troll Strap is more than just a piece of fishing equipment worth buying; it's a sanity saver. It's not just a fishing rod leash; it's the potential difference between a great fishing story and possibly a tale of misery.

Shimano Recoil Rod Leash Benefits:
(:1F3A3:) Light & Comfy
Ditch those bulky, heavy-duty fishing rod leashes – they're often uncomfortable and can get in the way. The Shimano Recoil Troll Strap is designed for light tackle, offering a snug, secure fit without chafing or scratching. The 1.2-meter model's soft neoprene and Velcro attachment keeps your gear secure while you focus on the fishing, not your equipment. The 3-metre model does the same, minus the neoprene harness.
(:1F3A3:) Secure Your Fishing Rod
Let's face it, fishing gear isn't cheap. The Shimano Recoil Troll strap acts like a safety net for a spinning reel. It keeps it connected to you, the boat, or even a public jetty if there is a suitable attachment point—no more heartache to lost fishing combos.
(:1F3A3:) Versatile & Easy
No matter the conditions, this straps your trusty sidekick, whether kayaking on a calm lake or battling the waves off the coast. You can attach it to a belt loop, a boat cleat, or any other secure point. It's as easy as chucking a banana prawn on the Barbie, if I can put it that way!
(:1F3A3:) Affordable Peace of Mind
We all work hard to pay for our fishing gear, and the Shimano Recoil Troll strap is a small investment that offers great protection from mishaps. Knowing your combos are secure can provide confidence to fish in all conditions.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
- It might slightly cramp your style: The strap could limit your casting range or technique.
- Potential tangle trouble: It might get friendly with other lines in crowded spots.
- Not one-size-fits-all: It might need some tweaking for certain rod and reel combos.
- The Learning curve: Getting used to fishing with a fishing rod lanyard attached to your outfit may take some time.
