AVENTIK EUPHENG Fly Line Basket Authentic Danish Fisker Design Fishing Stripping Basket Ergonomic Smooth Curved Super Light Line Tangles with Silicone Spike for Line Tray

I don't use the neck strap. Seems unneeded and an extra point of annoyance. I can probably find a second use for it elsewhere. The hip belt works plenty well.I find that for my own use, I only filling about half of the holes with the silicone spikes works best.The top edge of the bucket might bang and rub on your fly rod and reel. I took some extra heavy duty packing tape and covered the top edge all the way around, even in the rod holder grooves. Now it have a bit less ability to scratch up my gear's (cheap) paint finish.It's also great have a work area where I can tie up new leaders or flies without taking my backpack off or losing my spot in the river.I took a pool noodle toy, like what many guys use for holding leaders, and use the hollow area inside to jam it onto one of the spikes in the stripping basket. It locks my leader foam tube into the basket and is easy to access such as when a Chinook salmon snaps me off on something and I need to get a new leader on ASAP.

High quality, fits well, appears to be up to the task. However, the belt, while adjustable, is not elasticized. For me, that makes it a pain to use. Passed this Fiskars along to my skinnier son (who loves it). I continued looking until I found a version made in denmark that’s available with an upgraded, stretchy belt. For me, the belt makes all the difference in comfort.

Works great and a good price point. My only complaint is the cut out to hold your rod needs to be bigger and rounded. Instead of the sharp points. Worth the money definitely recommend and my did come with the spikes.

I ordered this basket as a last minute item for some surf fly fishing. It came the next day right before my trip, but it didn't come with the silicone spikes as advertised. Everything else was as expected (for the price), but I feel as though it would have fed line out more evenly with the silicone spikes.Do some DIY when you get it before you take it out. I drilled out the existing holes to 1/4" and made some additional holes because the existing holes don't allow the water in it to exit quickly enough, especially for that occasional wave that surprises you, and it'll bog you down quick.It is about as comfortable as it looks. For $35 you can't ask for much and it's just a piece of bare plastic riding your hip (aside from the wide webbing belt. I would be more careful if I used it wearing waders paying special attention to any wear and tear it was doing to my expensive waders.

Best on price. Takes awhile for me to get use to especially wearing waders. But it’s for me to get use to. Recommend it

Sometimes a stripping basket can be ‘handy and inline’ ….. sorry…I couldn’t help myself.I have a number of these devices but this one is now my go to.Comfort and ease of use. I particularly like the shoulder harness and easy to pack around if traveling.It was a good buy and I saved a bundle.

As received belt was slipping through the buckle. Took the belt out of the buckle and fed it through the other side and now it does not slip. Wedge should dig into belt when pulled to loosen to prevent t slipping. Seems to have been assembled wrong at the factory. Easy fix.

Great product for the money. Don't spend more until you try this
