>[/B]My stringer is faster and a heck of a lot more useful than the ?Safety Pin? stringer. It can be used as a gaff and it is easily anchored to a rock when you need both hands free. Make it yourself.<o

></o

>[/B]You?ll need about 6? of 1/16? Stainless cable, 3 suitable cable sleeves, (crimps) a 500# test snap swivel, a foot or so of 1-1/4? fir closet rod and 18? of 5/16? stainless rod.(I made them out of bent spear shafts.)<o

>[/B]<o

>[/B]The attached drawings should make construction easy.

[/B][/B]To string a fish, run the hook in one eye and out the other then shake the fish onto the cable. Note where the cable exits the shaft? The fish cannot swim off.<o

>[/B]To dump the fish into the box, unsnap the wooden handle from the shaft and shake them into the box.<o

>[/B]The gaff mode is handy for getting a ?biggun out of a hole. Lock the gaff hook into the rock or wreck when you need both hands free. The handle should be painted in a bright color to make it easy to spot if you have to leave your stringer.<o

Thanks for posting.

The stringer I prefer is a 7' pole spear with a huge laundry pin on the back and twin spinner tip. That way you can keep trigger fish well away from the body, because they smart when bitten underwater.

STRINGER MODE

Iwish I knew how to keep more than one program open. Being computer illiterate and working on a project this huge makes the job go a lot slower. I still have hundreds of tips to illustrate and, right now, there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Two books down and I don't know how many more there will be.

I had planned to do the PVC e-book first but I can't afford all of the stuff to make all of the items so I'll get all of the Tips and Techniques done then a book of fishing short stories.

Thank you for the tip and sharing!!

I had to change the number on this fishing tip this morning. It was a case of changing it here or changing a bunch in the e-Book series.

I've done some tedious things in my life but these e-books are the worst. I should complete book 4 of "Capt Ken's Fishing Tips" today today -----if I can find a couple of photos. I have 2 more books of 101fishing tips to go. If these books don't go, I'm gonna apply for food stamps.
