Yeah, i also wouldn't mind giving that system a go too, to see if it works for me, as like some of you guys... i never knew how a 'speed stringer' worked.

Mind you, i have just about got into a routine of my stringer, and seem to be stoning/braining fish and stringing them at a lot better pace than i used to.

One tiny thing that could annoy me with the speed stringer, is that some fish (especially mullet) that i have brained withmy knife, still seem to flick around for a bit however much i waggle the knife around, and so a fish tugging on my gun could get irritating, but i guess this isn't much of an issue most of the time.
