Fun Stocking Stuffer
I bought this as a stocking stuffer for my son. He's an avid fisherman. He thought this was great for when they are out in their canoe or kayak.

Great for rock climbing nut tool
I am using this for rock climbing. It connects my nut tool to my harness and make sure I don't drop it when I'm using it. So far has worked great

Fly Fishing Tool Holder
