In response to a thread on Surf Stripping baskets and off on another tangent from the original questions Dan Blanton Basket Thread
I decided to throw together a photo essay on Stripping Baskets. We have a few more but thought there were a few funnies in the mix already. The one below was omitted for obvious reasons!

G'day Dan,
Totally agree with you mate! Grant Hartman introduced me to Stans basket back when he first was getting into double handers. Having been converted we bought a couple direct from Stan and have used them successfully in a bunch of places including Puget Sound, Florida, Yellowstone, Mexico and lots of places in Australia. Have used them fishing for Trout, Steelhead, Roosters, Jacks, Ladyfish Queenfish,Golden Trevally and Striped Bass to name a few. Came in really handy on the last trip to the Coral Sea while fishing the sand cays for trevally and dart. Those coral chunks and pieces are brutal and snag fly line like no ones business.
BTW Kate still loves her small J W Outfitters basket but that suits her fishing style. The larger one I used kinda threw the line around too much when walking or running.
Stans Basket has been well and truly beat on and has traveled many miles in the bottom of my roller duffle and in the back of the truck where it lives now! Only recently it opened up a little down the join. I repaired that by using Loon UV Knot sense on the reef last December and that fix was still holding good while fishing yesterday.

I have quickly put together a Stripping Basket "fashion shoot" for those whom want to see this product and a few others. We have had some fun with them!
