Leland on the Springbrook Stripping Guards
Line cuts to the fingers are no fun, even when the fishing is great. The Springbrook Stripping Guards protect your fingers from the rigors of fly fishing in tougher conditions. Abrasive fly lines can wear you down on the strip, and thin shooting lines, fast running backing, or leader and tippet material can cut into you before you know it! And once your cut, well, you know the damn line is going to find that exact same spot again. Ouch. These lightweight, stretchy, yet tough, fabric tubes pull over your finger, or fingers, of choice and smooth the abuse so you can concentrate on your fishing. (3) to a pack. My fingers got so dry, chapped and split after two weeks in southeastern Wyoming last summer, I could have used two packs of these critters.
Six bucks and they take up no room in your vest. Next time we'll know better when stalking bonefish or upland cutthroat!
