FISHING TIP # 369

MY FAVORITE SPEAR FISHING STRINGER

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.

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.)

The attached drawings should make construction easy.

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.

To dump the fish into the box, unsnap the wooden handle from the shaft and shake them into the box.

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.

I made the first one in about 1970 and have sold dozens of them since.

Thanks for posting.

Fish On!!!

STRINGER MODE

I wish 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.
