When using in saltwater, rinse your tool with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a clean towel. Apply oil to hinges and moving parts on a regular basis. Gerber plans to launch a salt specific collection later in 2018. **Q: How much weight can this withstand? 3kg or?!** A: I know the Defender can support 6+ lbs. The unit locks and you unlock it when you want to extend it. My bigger concern is how you attach it to your clothes and if that can support the weight. Just my 2 cents **Q: What’s it used for??** A: I use it to tether a pair of scissors to my kayak seat so they are always within reach and won't fall out if the kayak **Q: What is the color?** A: Hello, Miguel from Tall Ridge The front of the tether could be best described as a military/olive green color.

This is a huge upgrade to the short standard tethers. I saw them in the flyshop on display. Sure had heartburn for the $45 price tag at numerous fly shops. Found it on Amazon for $27.00. Since my purchase, four others have obtained from Amazon. This tether extends way beyond your arm unlike the cheapy kind that might have 16-18”. I highly recommend this Gerber product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Never lose your fishing tool. *by on Reviewed in Canada 10 June 2025* Helps me keep my fishing tool close and I never lose it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable and reliable *by on Reviewed in the United States 24 December 2025* These are great quality and last a while. My husband only uses this brand for work. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gerber Gear Defender - Compact, Durable Fishing Tether for Freshwater Fishing - Retractable - Premium Fishing Equipment - Flat Sage - Gerber Gear Freehander - Durable Line Management Tool with Exchangeable Plus Multi-Positional Respike - Premium Fishing Equipment - Gerber Gear Defender - Compact, Durable Fishing Tether for Freshwater Fishing - Retractable - Premium Fishing Equipment - Large, Flat Sage --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/770772513-gerber-defender-freshwater-retractable-fishing-lanyard-safety-tether-with-carabiner](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/770772513-gerber-defender-freshwater-retractable-fishing-lanyard-safety-tether-with-carabiner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
