The Bream Reaper 103 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Go to Ikea Buy $2 (or thereabouts) childs toilet step. Drill some drainage holes, use thick cable ties to prevent tangles, cut slot for belt in concave part. PERFECT!!!. Can cut slots on side and rest reel inside tub with rod over top as convenient holder whilst you re-rig. Sits perfectly against your hip like it was made for fly fishing. Here is my Thomas The Tank stripping basket.... al under $5 You're welcome newtontoney, SaltyFlyer, AquaticResearch1 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tonka 1 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hi guys, I bought one of the William Joseph belts (same as the one pictured above) probably 3 years ago and it has come in handy. I wouldn't head out without one now. I got it from the U.S., possibly an ebay store, but with shipping to Aus it was more like $65-$70 aus, but it did get here very quickly. The mesh bag rolls up into the belt and completely hides till you need it. If I knew about the Thomas training step option for $5, I think I might have given that a go first. I like that SaltyFlyer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bit of PVC pipe, the right fittings, glue, brackets and a hack saw it was all done for 20 bucks. Doesn't look pretty but saved a bit of money. What you did here is a great idea!
