Mikey, also quit stepping on the line when it's at your feet(Take it from one who's been there). Ditto on the stripping basket. It might not look purrrrdy, but a kid's bicycle basket & military web belt(wide OD ones) work great. The wide web belt can also be used as a wader belt, and to hang stuff from. Heck, the whole combat harness can be rigged for flyfishing. Jamie
