Re: Rod leashes: leave on when fishing or take off?
I'll leave the leash on while fishing but I learned this week you shouldn't have your paddle leashed for surf entry and exit. It may be potentially hazardous if the yak is flipped. My first launch from La Jolla's surf zone knocked me for a loop and if the leashes were on I could have been entangled and made a bad situation worse.
