You put those on a stringer? 🤔

Not her, nope, never. I had one, even had fish on it, some times. Seems the alligators like an easy meal. Then it was turtles, so now a good stringer keeps the ice cold, and the fish out of water.

Back in 1972 I was living in McAlester Ok. It was mid summer and the lake was low. Perfect for frog gigging. My sister would hold the light on the frogs and I would gig them. I was wearing shorts and tennis shoes. I used the metal stringer for the frogs, and clipped the end on my belt loop. It was a good night. We had about 8 or 9 nice ones. We got ready to call it quits and I unclipped to see our catch. To both our surprise, there was a snake attached to the first frog. Scared us to death. I tossed the stringer and frogs and we high tailed it out of there. Later on I thought about it and figured the snake couldn't have bit us while he had a frog half way in his mouth. We were too scared to think about that though. We never waded again for frogs. Now I use a boat and put frogs in a cooler.

They're okay for smaller fish in fresh water but I watched a guy nearly get towed under here in N. Florida when a shark grabbed his stringer with fish while clamped to his belt. Towed him a good ways before he was able to get it off. Lost his gear in the process and added a lot of gray hair.

Salty Chief: One never, never, ever ties their stringer to their clothing when fishing in salt water. fix it with a knot that will untie if a shark decides to have a snack. It has happened too often and is dangerous. One nevr knows just how big that shark is or just how hungry it may be...Just Sayin...RJS

It’s ok till Mr. Turtle pays a visit. Even seen a water snake take a shot an IF you’re thinking of releasing likely not survive. Myself I prefer a mesh basket but that’s me

Welcome aboard Master Sergeant. Lots of good people here, of course except for me and a maybe a couple of others they're all a bunch of damn liars. They know who I'm talkin about. Good to meet you shipmate.

Yes, it's what I use. Don't forget to the it good or a 4-5 lb. Catfish will take off with it. Speaking from experience. Last year I lost one. Lesson learned. 😕

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. Unscramble this and catch something on it. NIRSEPN.

I hardly ever use one so I bought a plastic one, so it doesn't rust in the bottom of my gear bucket. I've had a couple 3or4 pound pike on there for an hour or two without breaking.
