DIY Gear Prep: Soft Shackles, Clean Goggles, and Cuban Yo-Yos

While the snow plows are clearing the streets outside, we’re inside focused on packing for our upcoming sailing trip to Grenada! In this video, we’re walking through three essential pieces of our pre-trip gear prep: Part 1: The Soft Shackle. Watch a length of Dyneema transform into a high-strength soft shackle. The diamond knot makes it work. Part 2: Clear Vision (ASMR). A little mask maintenance goes a long way. Kent is cleaning up the goggles and adding a protector sleeve to the strap so he doesn’t lose his hair to the silicone strap 😉 Part 3: The Cuban Yo-Yo. We’re going old-school with a Cuban Yo-Yo setup for trolling behind the boat. Kent will show you how he rigs it with soft shackles and bungees to make sure he’s ready for the big catch.
