I always carry a tether, and even use it once in awhile. Sometimes it 
gets in the way so I don't use it. Sometimes I'll want to take 
pictures, paddle in high wind or whatever and it really comes in 
handy. It is such a cheap and small piece of equipment I don't see 
why someone wouldn't get one. I usually just leave it sitting in my 
PFD pocket although I've seen a lot of people wrap them around their 
paddle shafts when not using them.

If you're worried about entanglement, well hey, now you have another 
reason to carry a PFD mounted knife!
