Hello,
 I have a tip  for you guys. Why should you keep a chain type stringer in your rig with a livewell and if you are a catch and release guy?
ANSWER: If you accidently drop,knock or somehow lose your rod and reel overboard,tale the clips ,(all of them) loose from their keepers, tie a large rock ( readily found around the lake ) to one end,then tie around 15-20 ft of rope to the other.Make a mental note of where you think the rod is lyingg on the bottom.Toss out the stringer,let it sink,then keeping contact with thee bottom SLOWLYdrag it back up to the boat.Losing a rig over the side has happened to me and a few fishermen I was angling with,3/4 times we caught the line between the guards or beyween the lure and rod.The only betterway to get a rig back is to hire a diver.Stringer is much cheaper by the hour.
Till next time,tight lines ,Tim.
