I use spinning rods so i use one of those curly wrist bands with a caribine that hooks on to the shank of the reel. Fast, easy and not a bother

Hi guys and gals. Just soliciting some ideas here. My teen son came storming back into the house after fishing a nearby lake (actually more like a 20 acre pond) visibly upset because he accidentally knocked his favorite combo out of the jon boat and into the water. He said he spent the next hour jigging for it to no avail. So...what kind of Safety measures should he take going forward to prevent this from reoccurring?
1) Rod buoys (styrofoam) from BPS - bought some a while back but for some reason he doesn't want to use them. Maybe now he will!
2) Rod leash or lanyard you attach to your wrist or the gunwale. Is there such a thing? A couple downsides I see with this is if you switch hands or switch rods alot, it could really be a nuisance.
3) ?
4) ?
5) ?
Thanks in advance!
