Hi folks ..... Can someone cleverer than me give me ideas how I may secure captive back leads to a pod?

I need to fit into goal post style pod - Fox Trek Pod) and also a single bank stick style pod (Defiant MPS) .... I have the fox dedicated cross bar but it doesnt fit either (i think they were only suitable for Quattro pod)

I cant peg to floor as fishing from a boat and ideally something I can remove from the pod without having to remove alarms each time.

Also ... does anyone know if I can buy additional plastic winders (in photo) anywhere?

A little bungee elastic tie, like the things they hold monoflex onto scaffolding? Just wrap it round the front of your pod.

Cheap carabiner?

EDIT, just seen Andy beat me to it.
Could also use a tool clip with a line tied through fixing point to winder, or really push the boat out, a metal sprung paper clip...lol

Depending on where I'm fishing

I just tie them around the bank stick or buzz bar and then lock the cord back into one of the retaining slots on those particular back leads.

One on each of the uprights the alarms screw into

Ask the guys at all things 3d to knock you some up or even a tag you could tie the cord to for something a little better

When I'm fishing somewhere I can get a bank stick into
I just use a cheap bendy tent peg to peg them altogether and if needed another to direct the cord so it is under the rod

On the rare occasion I used captive back leads I had a loop and fed the lead through and positioned it around the bottom of the alarm. As you would fix a loop to a swivel.

Dont know how to do links, if you Google scaffold bungees they come up. But Tbh a small carabiner would do the job and look a lot better
