Left hand

[moguy1973]

I'm a cast with right reel with left guy also for everything.  I tried to use a righty reel this weekend and it was extremely awkward.  I don't like the switching hands thing either.

The greatest stringer ever offered....until my engineer daughter designs a better one. 

I don't think they make them anymore 

Never seen one.  Kind of like the old metal ones with clips.  When I'm wading for whites, I use the old fashioned pointy thing on one end and metal o ring on other end.  Why is yours more better?

Because whites strapped to your belt love to get between your legs and tangle into your fly line.  The plastic clips don't tear up your waders or your line.   With some practice you can operate it one handed.

Makes sense.  Truth be told my wading is usually from one bank to the other along a riffle, so I'm usually in knee boots, and my stringer is tied to a root or a rock, and my big bait decision is what color head on my white road runner.

I right right handed with casting gear and left handed with spinning gear. It wasn't hard to train myself to cast well with either hand using casting gear, but I can't for the life of me hold a spinning rod in my left hand and reel right handed without feeling super awkward.

@fishinwrench I believe Sampo still makes those stringers. I've not seen them in stores, but you can buy them online.

Thanks, I just ordered another one.   

My kid is actually working on a stringer system that is like miniature boga grips.   Just get the fish close, clip a lip, unhook your fly.....done.   One handed, and you don't even have to touch the fish.   

I think it'll be pretty sweet.  We might even get rich !    😋 

Having to stick a rod under your arm and fuss with a stringer clip while holding a hot fish is a hassle....and we've all fumbled several fish while attempting that manuever.

Wait!  You didn't get rich from that music video you did??  Hmm.  How could that be....

Much better than those ancient metal clip disaster style. The ones I have used are a little different, yellow rope with green clips, but the clips are the same and work great.

We used those for ducks.  I have old pictures of us holding up the stringers with mallards hanging from the neck in them.  Back when camo was your dads army coat from the korean war...

I expected you to say that you speared them through the eye sockets. 😅
