I went kayak fishing on a small lake on a cold day and it was very windy with gust up to 35 mph. I was enjoying moving around the lake and paddling to different areas and letting the current & wind drift me. Then I decided I wanted to stay in one spot for a while, so I paddle over to where a tree had fallen into the water and clamped this onto the tree limb and tied it onto my little eyelet on the pelican kayak. The more the boat drifts away, and the line pulls the tighter the clamp gets around the tree because of the way the line loops on the opposing side of the clamp jaws, including instructions are very useful for knowing how to thread. The cord. It comes with 15 feet of black nylon cord. That’s fine for this, but I happen to have a large roll of orange reflective cord, the same color as the clamp, that I use for camping trips. I replaced the black cord with this orange reflective cord in case I ever need to see it at night And for higher visibility during the day. You can tie it off at any length up to 15 feet or you can replace the cord like I did with a longer one, but I don’t know why you would need to get that far out and pull yourself back in. I measured off the new cord with the supplied cord and made it 15 feet as well. This clamp has a very sturdy spring and is very strong. If you want to tie and clamp your boat or kayak up to something, it is quite useful. Maybe I can update a photo later but I didn’t think about taking a photo of the clamp on the tree limb while out, but it’s big enough to go to many limb sizes medium to small. In a kayak or small fishing boat, this clamp and cord combo is quite capable. I highly recommend it.
