# **How to Choose Strip Master, Fly Line Holder – No More Stripping Baskets**
As an avid angler, you know that efficiency and convenience on the water can make or break your fly fishing experience. One of the most frustrating challenges is managing your fly line while wading or casting from a boat. Traditional stripping baskets can be cumbersome, but the **Strip Master Fly Line Holder** offers a revolutionary alternative. In this guide, we’ll explore why the **Strip Master** is a game-changer and how to choose the best one for your needs.
## **Why Ditch the Stripping Basket?**
Stripping baskets have long been a staple for saltwater and stillwater fly anglers. However, they come with several drawbacks:
– **Bulky and awkward** – Carrying a basket can be inconvenient, especially when hiking to remote spots.
– **Line tangles** – Poorly designed baskets can cause loops to snag, leading to frustrating delays.
– **Limited mobility** – Some baskets restrict movement, making it harder to adjust positioning mid-cast.
The **Strip Master Fly Line Holder** eliminates these issues by providing a compact, hands-free solution that keeps your line organized without the bulk.
## **Key Features to Look for in a Strip Master**
When selecting a **Strip Master** or similar fly line holder, consider the following factors:
### **1. Magnetic vs. Non-Magnetic Design**
– **Magnetic Strip Masters** use powerful magnets to secure the line, preventing tangles while allowing smooth, controlled stripping.
– **Non-magnetic options** rely on tension or grooves, which can still be effective but may require more precision.
### **2. Adjustability & Comfort**
– Look for an adjustable strap system that fits securely on your waist, thigh, or leg.
– A padded or ergonomic design ensures comfort during long fishing sessions.
### **3. Durability & Water Resistance**
– Saltwater anglers should opt for **corrosion-resistant materials** like marine-grade plastics or stainless steel.
– Ensure the holder can withstand exposure to water, sand, and UV rays without degrading.
### **4. Line Capacity & Ease of Use**
– Some models handle thicker saltwater lines better than others. Check the product specifications for compatibility.
– A smooth release mechanism prevents line jams when casting.
## **Why the Strip Master Outperforms Traditional Baskets**
1. **Portability** – No need to carry a bulky basket; the Strip Master attaches directly to your body.
2. **Tangle-Free Performance** – The magnetic or tension-based system keeps loops separated.
3. **Versatility** – Works well in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
4. **Quick Setup** – No assembly required—just strap it on and start fishing.
