Big piece of advice i would offer is switch out the fancy pink coil thingy to the lid for an appropriate length of cord. Reason being that if you take cover off and let it hang down while u r wrestlin an eel out of it that thing is gonna hang down and become a seriuosly hazardous hassle especially if standin up to your arm pits in the surf stretching it out. Becomes a serious tangle hazard.

Good point!

I had a cord but changed to a lanyard. It's actually red! Too much light in the pic. ;-)

The weight of the screw on top "should" not pull down the lanyard. But, to be safe, I will shorten it considerably.

If it ever got tangled, one of my two knives will resolve that problem ASAP! ;-)
