Stainless Steel Stringer

This is one handy stringer, comes with me on every trip.  I've made several for different people and they use it on the biggunes they don't want to get away. 

Push the rod through the gills, out the mouth and through the brass ring.  I usually leave the link finger-tight, so I can remove the cable from the rod to release the fish easier.  If you take your time; you can thread the cable without making the fish bleed out.

You can also use a blunt wooden dowel for the rod.
