These are bungee cords on steroids. The highly UVA/UVB-resistant rubber is elastic enough to wrap around a brace of tuna rods to secure them for transport, or to hold a boat hook in place. Need a longer strap? Hook two or more together to lash down a cooler or keep a wash bucket in place. Wrap one around your shore power cord to keep it from flopping and uncoiling in its locker. Tell us if you find a new way to use them. Six for $14.99; topshelfmarine.com
