DIY Mono Stringer

Not having a stringer made me a little jealous of my buddies, but I knew that I could probably make a couple for under $0.99 each.

I still have enough materials to make
5-10 stringers.

Tools: Crimping tool
Lighter
Corded drill + bits

Materials:
200-400lb mono or spectra/done email
($0.20 per yard at my local tackle shop)
Double sleeve crimps $0.20 each at local tackle
Shop

Heatshrink tubing (optional)

Aluminum rod 5/16" from local scrap
Yard ($2.30 per lb)



Assembly time was about 5-10 minutes. Very simple.


Original stringer has been improved (Thanks John and Phil)
will make another kui like phil's when I see the need. I will most likely not use heatshrink on mono next time.

My current setup for shallow reef spearing looks like this:

Haven't lost a fish yet after sticking the stringer through both eyes and then back into the speargun rubber. I brain them before putting them on.
