There is more of a market place for this than anything. Deckhand jigsticks are becoming more and more popular in SoCal, especially for guys like me that want to cheaply rebuild classic rods like Calstars and Seekers.

You figure out how to get an SXJ firmly onto a deckhand jigstick and you've got a winner...

Don’t limit your market. Can use that loop to hook a jig or hook, avoiding the need to attach to reel or rod eye.

It’s perfect for all those things! Makes it easy to put hooks and lures through. Just a standard clamp with a little extra for whenever you need it

If you added a symmetrical loop on the other side you could use one for a leash and one for a lure. I haven’t seen one with two loops yet.

I hate when my hooks get caught on the leash.

I was thinking that too but the protruded slot gets in the way of wrapping your hand around comfortably. But always looking to improve the design I’m sure I’ll come up with some new stuff. Especially being a kayaker I know some of the struggles of a kayak lol

Ah yes good point. Do you have a CNc machine?
