My stringers getting worn out, it's the cheaper style of the diver stringers I've seen.. I'd like to buy two new ones just wondering where you have found yours, if you have an extra or what you've spent on one.. I've seen them from $20-$60

The one I attached in the photo is similar to the style I have now. I'd like something just like it in a 16 or 18" size.. Thanks for the help!

The first two I got were the thinner versions of what you want and suck for diving.  I lost a few fish that either came back to life or got pulled open while pulling kayak or board through the kelp. It hasn't happened since I bought the heavy duty one. 

I think I bought them at subsurface dive shop in Ft Bragg but sounds like you have closer options. 

I have also on occasion started putting a wire stringer through fish eyes or used a mesh bag to keep them away from seals.

Fast delivery, good prices, honest company.

From experience these clips will hold 25-30#'s of fish

Kayak Connection in the harbor!
And make sure to get the style with squared handle, like in your pic. Makes it easier to manhandle the fish...compared to the smaller rounded handle.

Thanks for all the replies guys!! I have the thinner round handled ones and hate them! I'll try online at AK cause I've seen them at KC and they want $40 for them....

Thanks again for all the feed back and time spent sending the links over!

Forgot that Kayak Connection has them now too.  Never visited the Dive shop in SC either, so will have to check that out!  Seems like many options these days, other than having to order through Hook1 ;)
