I think what Skeet was doing, was asking if you had "snakes" and were concerned with them possibly trying to take fish off your stringer. In which case I would assume he'd advise you to have a "LONG" stringer.

I don't do any wading, myself, but I would think that you would only have a choice between the string type and the metal locking hook type of stringer to choose from ... in which case I'd advise using the metal one.

Another option would be this floating fish basket just remember t tie up the bottom door as it will sometimes come open and loss your catch. I zip tied it and just use the top door opening.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I, like Scrat, use a floating fish basket. It is much easier to drop a fish in the basket than to undo one of the hooks and then thread the hook through the gills and re-hook it. I have never lost a fish out of the bottom. I use mine when I am in my belly-boat, while wading and when I am in my 10' jon boat. I did whack mine with the outboard last fall so a new one is in order before spring gets here. I make sure I have a cooler full of ice in the truck so I can ice down the fish as soon as I get out of the water.

I just use a regular string type stringer... Take a file and put a v in the metal spike end to use for hook removal... Works pretty good
