Tool Reel/retractor recommendations

Looking for a tool reel/retractor trusty enough to use for a lip grip.

I use bungee chord or a coiled paddle leash like the ones Scotty makes(No. 130).  You could also fashion a good leash out of an old car cell phone charger.

bungee sounds good, ty

I use the old cell phone cords too, cheap and plenty of old ones to find at Goodwill/2nd hand stores.  They make a good rod leash too.

I use the hobby gear retractor for my pliers and lip gripper.  They work great, and they're not outrageous either.

You can also find similar gadgets at scuba diving shops

I think I will get one of the gear retractors.  I don't have one attached to my vest- and I don't want to get too many lanyards going at once.  A guy could end up looking like an octopus if they aren't careful.

I use a retractor for my point and shoot camera. If it can't make it back in the pfd pocket right away, it's nice to let it dangle for a bit without it getting tangled up in other stuff.

I would like to get 2, 1 of the lip grip and 1 for my pfd.  Just trying to find one that has strength and reliability.  I see many brands at the dive shop websites.

I use one for fishing pliers and another for my radio.  Just some I found in the Fly Fishing dept that claimed to be Stainless, though I think that is just the casing.

I am not nearly as confident in my stability as the more experienced so I am hesitant to attached my LipGrips to myself or Kayak.  I am always optimistic that I will be clipping them onto fish large enough to pull me over.

Cetacea is a pretty good brand. They make heavy duty to light duty, with a good variety of attachment types and clips.
