Fly Fishing Stripping Basket



Bernard "LEFTY" Kreh
Hello Charlie, Yesterday I fished the Susquehanna Flats for big stripers and used your stripping basket all afternoon - it worked perfectly! King Montgomery -- another outdoor writer was with me and was really impressed with the basket. I suggest sending him one and any literature -- he took some shots of me using it and would like to do a write up in Fly Fish America magazine.

Monday, November 21, 2005 6:26 AM Hi Charlie, How are you doing? I caught a few small pikes using your stripping basket. It works great! I use it all the time. Thanks very much for this great tool. Hope to see you again sometime in Goodland. Catch a lot of fish! Ross from The Netherlands

Charlie: I just got and used the your stripping basket this past weekend. Wow...what a practical piece of gear! I was fishing lake Moomaw in the Allegany Mountains of western Virginia out of my 16 foot Classic Gheenoe. No more fly line getting tangled around my feet. In fact I'm off to get one for my dad and brother.... It is the first stripping basket that just does it all. Nice Job. Keep up the good work.

Charlie We were down on the Baja with two baskets, they worked great and I would recommend your product to anyone. I had used the basket hooked to my belt in the past which worked great for bone fishing where you use a one handed strip. We fished for rooster fish which requires a two handed strip and the basket worked great attached around your waist. Best Regards, Matt Tofanelli

Charles I use it all the time now that I have it. It's so easy to tote I just keep in my bag. Scott Leon Editor Fly Fishing In Saltwater Magazine

Charles Thanks for the great stripping basket. Jon Cav



Dear Charlie, After using your new Total Control Stripping Basket for a complete season, I find in works better than my expectations, especially while using a double handed/Spey rod with 90 to 120 feet of line to manage. I now include it in my show presentations while giving casting demos. Best regards, Captain Doug Jowett

Charles Loved the basket. I will show it to my local shop and suggest they bring some in. Matt Tofanelli Bloomington, MN

Charlie I have been a professional captain and guide for 25 years and had never found a stripping basket I would use, until I tried the Total Control. I now have it with me and use it whether I'm fishing for Tarpon from a skiff or wading a trout stream. Thanks for a great piece of equipment. Capt. Jack Yanora

Charlie, I must thank you for creating such a useful fly fishing tool. My clients are catching more fish because they can control their line and therefore make better casts. Thanks, Capt. John Meskauskas

Charlie: Lefty was certainly right, when he told you that this was the best stripping basket he had every used. I just returned from a week fishing in Alaska and your Total Control Stripping Basket made wading the rivers for silver salmon and the dry fly fishing for trout most enjoyable. Now I'm looking forward to trying it out on the bonefish flats. Let me know if I can help you. Thanks a lot. Stu

Charles, I really like your stripping basket. It is a winner! I hope to put it in one of the new gear articles. We are working on the line-up of topics for this year and I plan to include the product. Best wishes, Gibbs Gibbs Milliken, Product Editor Texas Parks & Wildlife Magazine
