Who knows: Is this a good stringer. Are their better ones. What do you use. Will it hold a very big fish. Got any pictures of fish on a stringer. Any other ways of keeping fish.

Yep! In all the years of using this kind of stringer I have never lost a fish of any size. Early on we made our own strings with a heavy cord and took a 6 inch piece of perhaps 1/4 inch copper tubing took a hacksaw and cut a slot along one end and then hammered it to a point and finished it with a file. The other end we slipped the cord in and crimpted it with a hammer. Most recently, when wade fishing in the Gulf, used a mesh net to keep fish alive, or when fishing in a boat if I was going to keep the fish, tossed them into an ice chest. Just Sayin...RJS

Heavy Duty Galvanized stringer. I have had pretty good luck using them for panfish.

I had caught several fish in Iowa near Spirit Lake. We were there on a family vacation to see Arnolds Park ( it is where my parents worked and met in the 1960's ). My Mother grew up there. Lake Okoboji Iowa.

I had a bunch of fish on the heavy duty chain type stringer and heard them rattling the chain around. I figured it was the fish swimming and moving around. I decided I should take the fish back to our campground space to clean them with my Dad for dinner. Turns out all the noise of the chain rattling around was a river otter eating all but 2 of the fish I had. There was very little dinner left at that point. We then went back to the Dime store and bought a few more of the 12 or 15 foot long Bamboo Cane poles and a metal cage type device to contain the fish until time to clean them for the rest of vacation.

I like the chain with the snaps. Many times I make or take a fresh rope or 25 or heavier braided line and make stringer like what RJS explained. Just add more fish as you catch more through one gill.

I remember one time when I was way younger my brother and I caught a bunch of small mouth bass at night and it was late so we left them in our creek on that stringer and planned to clean them in the morning. Next day stringer was there but no fish. I believe the raccoons had a feast.

Girlfriend and I went to a annual office party on a large, old private lake, Dover Lake in Virginia. Slipped our canoe in and within 5 minutes she hooks a 24” largemouth. I measure it and put it on a steel stringer like that with one loop through the gills and a second up through a hole poked in the lower jaw.
Fished for a couple more minutes and I caught one half as big and put it on the stringer. Couple more minutes and she wants to go back to the party and show off her fish. We get back and I pull up the stringer from behind the canoe and her fish is missing. I’d heard the two fish flopping around but didn’t THINK they had hands. Guess who was in the doghouse after that!
So, those stringers are okay for smaller fish, but lookout for the ones of some size.

I had a very large dog fish on one a couple of weeks ago and it straightened the clip straight out and got off. Other than that they work pretty well. There is only eight clips on mine. When blue gill or crappie fishing, I'll put two fish one each one. 16 fish is all I want to clean at one time anyway!

Used this kind of stringer for many years. Shove it through lower lip not the gills. Fish will stay alive for a long time this way. If you put it through the gills the fish will die in a short time.

I use the nylon stringer and my fishing buddy Harvey put a catfish on our shared stringer and didn't tie the bitter end to the mangrove roots. A few minutes later I caught another cat unhooked it and went to where he tied the stringer. I saw the end of that blue stringer disappearing in deep water. From then on 2 wraps & 2 knots!

That was the type of stringer my dad always used for trout and we never had any problems with it. We had two and connected them together and moved all the clips to one end so we had a longer chain to tie off.
