I'm learning that finding the old style LL Bean "hard" stripping basket is alot like catching the end of the proverbial rainbow. I found a version on E-Bay called "NEW Stripping Basket" for only $69.99! That's right folks, only $69.99!....

Are there any laying around out there that need a new home, or can you suggest a better source? I would be happy with the Orvis standard basket, as it is essentially very similar.

Used and decent shape will do fine. I get to a beach infrequently: There's not much surf in Western Colorado. I will see the California coast in mid-September...

Thanks for your help,

Dana
