Use a zip tie around the screw and another around a spoke -tie together with a piece of cord -leave enough slack to unscrew . Can even attach a big swivel or clip at each end to rotate. It can stay permanently attached so no loss.

Simple, paint it bright orange. No need to fanny around as many are suggesting.

You do realize that now you've said that it will turn up in the bottom of a tackle bag somewhere when your not even looking for it!!!🤣

I can tell you now. Just from knowing Paul via
this forum, that is NOT an option.

I always paint mine white couple of years ago I dropped one on a sloping river bank it went straight in the river tried ages to get one bought a wrong thread one
so in the end took it to a nut n bolt stockist bought a bolt and a penny washer I super glued on it works a treat I always use it as saw one guys collapse in the middle of a storm there was so much tension on it he had a hell of a job

that theory only works if i was aware, when and where i lost it ... I have no idea where i lost the first one
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
