AhrexFlexistripper

What a brilliant product ! Im very happy with how it works and feels. I own a maximum catch stripping bucket that I have been using for a while and for the most part am happy with it but felt like I sort had to aim to the bucket while stripping to make it work properly which was a bit cumbersome at times. Plus the high sides make it awkward at times to do nice big strippes. I looked at the design of the flexistripper and believed it would it would be better, I wasn't disappointed ! It really is more of a stripp and forget design, plus the lower profile makes it way easier make big strips without your hand hitting the side of a "basket" you simply can just brush the top of the spikes and let go its that easy !

Flyline gets hung up on bottom when pins work loose. Despite using superglue to keep them in. Overall good product, and way better than the baskets.

I purchased this after seeing the owner of Sunray fly fishing with a similar product and hearing him talk about the benefits of this type of “basket” over a more traditional type. I have to say that all of the hype is true and I’ll never use anything else. It’s much less cumbersome than a those “plastic wash basins” I’ve used in the past. The line shoots off of the shelf with ease and laying your coils onto the shelf feels much more intuitive. The size of the belt is very generous, I’m a 3xl 300LB guy and had close to a foot of leftover belt.

I bought this for fishing in the surf where some sort of stripping basket is necessary to keep your line from tangling around your legs, but I can't image fishing without it. No more line tangling in seed heads, rocks, sticks or anything else, it just sits right there on this very handy Flexstripper! Buy this!

PROS - Light weight and easy to use. It keeps the line out of rocks and I don't step on the line in the waves or tide changes.CONS - It is not perfect. I still get tangles 10% to 20% of the time. I will not change my line stripping techniques to lay the line perfectly in the Flexistripper to help prevent the tangles. Very pricey for what you get. It should include a lot more extra "spikes" because if you don't cut them perfectly from the group you can't use it. NO assembly instructions included or tips on how to cut the spikes and install them. I mean really how much effort would it take to make that video and include the link in the package. For $60, that should be includedOVERALL I will live with the tangles 1 out of 10 casts or 1 out of 5 casts because it is perfect the rest of the time.

I like that it is less cumbersome than a traditional stripping basket. I fished the outgoing tide in a tidal Marsh and it worked wonderfully. I was able to strip my streamer fly in with it positioned on my left side which is difficult to do with a standard basket. It holds the line well and releases it nicely while casting.

Can't even tell it's there. Very lightweight and because of the open design, it keeps your stripping hand free of bumping into a tradition stripping basket. Great design.

Works well uglier than sin
