My stringer is always on my float. I have a torpedo shaped foam float with a spike stringer and double mono line that clips onto a tuna clip on the back of the float. When on a shore dive and swimming through kelp the stringer gets pushed into the float as to not snag in kelp. I find this works pretty well and lives up to my needs at the moment, will post a pic tomorrow
