Home made stripping baskets
I am thinking about making my own stripping basket for use while wading and fishing streamers for trout. I was wondering if anybody has made their own. If so, are there any things that you've learned through trial and error that you may want to share? How aabout any ideas on the topic in general?
I've got those dish pan hands too.
I'm in the same camp as ScottP.
I've got them with and without holes. Mine use 125 lb. shock tippet for loops and they all have split, nylon web wading belts ( with fused end ) and quick release buckles. They're attached to the pan with sets of small brass nuts, bolts and washers.
They really fit well into the bottom of a travel bag or a garment bag for airline travel too.
Best, Dave
