Ultimate Fly Fishing DIY

$5 for the bucket at Giant Food Store. Pennies for the weed wacker line. $1 for the thick foam. I used my hot glue gun, an X-acto knife and a drill to finish it off. Bungee cord sized to your waist. Add 30 minutes of work and you've made yourself a pretty decent stripping basket! You can wear it in front, or off to the side. Next on the list of things to do to make the basket better - use a hot pipe to melt in rod holding slots. There are some good stripping baskets out there, but why pay upwards of $50 when you don't have to -
