Joe brought his sons Pete and Ham on board, who would help grow the brand from a small kitchen knife company to an internationally known outdoor icon.Over the past 85 years, Gerber Gear has made knives and tools that have become legends in their own right, providing knives and multi-tools for soldiers on the front lines and making essential gear for hunters, anglers, adventurers, and trade workers.To this day, we continue to engineer and manufacture innovative, functional, and dependable tools in Portland, Oregon. Our heritage runs deep, and the legend of Joe Gerber's wild idea still inspires everything we do as we look toward the next generation of innovations. ## Features - Gerber Gear Fishing Tether: This compact fishing tether boasts a 48-inch Dyneema cable, ensuring your tools stay secured - Easy-to-Use Fishing Tool: The integrated lanyard hole and retention clip offer versatile carrying options, making it a vital fishing accessory - Durable Fishing Equipment: The anodized aluminum body provides corrosion resistance, ideal for the challenges of freshwater fishing - Lightweight Fishing Gear: The compact Gerber Defender is perfect for anglers seeking a reliable, lightweight solution for their fishing essentials - About Gerber Gear: Since we made our start 85 years ago, we've been making blades and tools that have been companions on countless adventures ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Color | Large | | Material | Aluminum | | Brand | Gerber Gear | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Shape | Square | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Lock Type | Key Lock | | Product Dimensions | 1"L x 0.6"W | | UPC | 013658151246 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00013658151246 | | Size | Large | | Manufacturer | Gerber Gear | | Part Number | 31-003299 | | Item Weight | 1.6 ounces | | Item model number | 31-003299 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Style | Large | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Measurement System | Metric | | Included Components | Fishing Tether | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime | ## Product Details - **Color:** Large - **Material:** Aluminum - **Brand:** Gerber Gear - **Item Weight:** 0.1 Pounds - **Shape:** Square ## Images ![Defender - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710aj6+0YrL.jpg) ![Defender - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YlEA0u3ML.jpg) ![Defender - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xeFPoP7ML.jpg) ![Defender - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xuqObUh-L.jpg) ![Defender - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JQhd--tQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it. Sturdy and practical. *by P***E on July 30, 2025* Brilliant, sturdy tool - tether.I use it at home to always have a torch on my belt, that I can use without hands - simply turn it on and dangle it from the tether.Also use it in construction those rare times I need to hold a tool.Sturdy and well-made. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Think Outside the Box *by S***C on March 17, 2019* I understand that this is marketed towards fishers but you need to think outside the box and I’m surprised Gerber has not done this. I’m using this to control my speed loader so I can load, let go and get back to work. They also work really well on your trauma shears saving you from losing the investment on a great pair. These have tactical applications because the tension bar on the back not only has a lip to secure it over whatever it hooks on to but it’s perfectly spaced to fit in Molle webbing. The colors would have to be changed to a subdued gray or black for those type of tactical applications, the orange stands out on OD green, Black or FDE. The high tension of the lanyard and the material itself would make this incredibly useful as a tripwire. The small filament and the brake that you can apply hold it in place and makes it extremely hard to see. I gave this a five star rating because we sat around at my station testing this and trying it out on different applications and it’s such a universal product. Extremely well-made also.Onto the bad stuff and this has nothing to do with the product itself. The picture you see here is of my second one because I ordered a replacement. The first one did not come with a little ring on the hook that’s advertised and it was dented. The replacement I was sent also did not come with the ring and was already broken apart from the zip ties that holds it to the cardboard hanger. The replacement one was an excellent condition though and I don’t believe that bring it down one star would be fair considering this is an amazing product and had nothing to do with its overall usability. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gerber Fishin’ Tether – No-Slip, No-Rust Gear Clip Built for Folks Who Stay on the Water *by M***O on August 2, 2025* Solid Little Tether That Just WorksI picked up the Gerber Gear Fishing Tether ‘cause I got tired of droppin’ my pliers in the water. Let me tell you — this thing’s a game changer.It’s got a 48-inch Dyneema cable, which sounds fancy, but all you need to know is it’s strong as heck and doesn’t tangle easy. It keeps your tools close so you’re not diggin’ through your tackle box or watchin’ your gear sink to the bottom of the lake.The clip holds real snug on my vest or belt loop, and there’s a little lanyard hole if you wanna run a strap through it. Ain’t bulky at all — real lightweight, but still feels tough. That anodized aluminum don’t rust either, which is good ‘cause I’m out fishin’ rain or shine.Honestly, it’s just a good piece of gear. Simple, sturdy, and does what it’s supposed to. I’ve used Gerber stuff for years and they haven’t let me down yet. This tether’s no different. If you’re out fishin’ regularly, it’s worth throwin’ in your setup. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gerber Gear Defender - Compact, Durable Fishing Tether for Freshwater Fishing - Retractable - Premium Fishing Equipment - Large, Flat Sage - 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 --- ## 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.es/products/58288572-defender](https://www.desertcart.es/products/58288572-defender) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
