While looking through the latest issue of Jay Kumar's BassBlaster, I came across this item about a new way to tie up your boat to the dock. Jewel Bait Company's DockStix are hollow metal sticks with industrial-grade bungees. They let you secure your boat to the dock with cleats and other things, making sure the boat is just far enough away it doesn't rub the dock when a wake hits.
DockStix come in a set of two per order and retail for $79.95 per pair from both Jewel Bait Company and Tackle Warehouse.
Measuring 16 inches long, DockStix come in eight different decal colors: black, blue, red, neon green, neon orange, neon pink, neon yellow, and American flag. They are designed to work with many different cleat styles, among them ones that collapse, as well as those that are on the inside or top of the gunnel. Rubber-grip ends protect the boat's gel coat from the DockStix resting on the top cap.
While originally designed for bass boats, DockStix also will work effectively on other types of fishing boats 21 feet or less long, provided the dock-attachment point and the gunnel are at equal height to one another.
For your viewing pleasure, here are links to a couple of DockStix videos:
