i found this on a website it shows like what a normal stringer is and it also explains what you will need to make one and how it works.


It would be inconvenient and time consuming to return to the shore each time a fish was caught. The usual way of overcoming these problems is to carry them on a fish keep attached to the diver, or better still, attached to the float. This is not an item that is readily available in the shops but fortunately it is easy to make up for yourself. The most popular type of fish keep consists of a length of strong cord (1 to lUm. in length) with a stainless steel or aluminium bar attached. The bar needs to be between 6-9 inches in length, sharpened at one end and with a hole drilled centrally. If a round bar is used, a diameter of 5 or 6mm. will prove sufficiently strong. The cord is threaded through the hole in the bar and knotted.
The free end of the cord is firmly attached to the float or the divers weight belt. The bar forms a 'T' shape when hanging loose on the end of the cord, preventing the loss of fish. When a fish has been caught, it is advisable to put it on the fish keep before removing the spear; many fish have been lost by using the reverse of this procedure! The usual method of securing the fish is to thread the sharpened end of the bar through the gills and out of the mouth.
A surprisingly large number of fish can be held on a single fish stringer.
