I was reading an article by the LadyFisher, and she mentioned the use of a creel, for keeping fish. I grew up throwing plugs on a spinning reel and always put my fish on a stringer, but now I'm thinking twice. I've thought about using a creel, even though most of my fishing is for panfish and bass along a local river.

Does anyone still use those things? Am I going to look like a bobo with one? My dear mother, who makes baskets as a hobby, has offered to weave me one, and I'm tempted to take her up on it.

Any thoughts?
