Stripping Baskets

A stripping basket is an essential piece of kit for saltwater fly fishing and any situation where loose fly line needs to be managed — whether you're casting from a rocky shore, a boat or a sandy beach. It keeps your line tangle-free and ready for the next cast.

Rigid stripping baskets — with line-management cones or pegs to prevent tangles
Collapsible & folding baskets — for easy packing and travel
Wading belt-mounted baskets — worn around the waist for hands-free line management

Particularly useful for sea trout fishing in estuaries, saltwater fly fishing for bass and pollock, and any situation where you're shooting large amounts of line. Once you've used one, you won't want to fish without it.
