waist bucket for fly line when surf fishing


Recommended Posts

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 ;)

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  :D

I have started doing more of this type of thing also. 

Last thing I made was a rod tube that attaches to my bike. 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!
