Funny how a new idea can come about. I was showing the guy who cleans my pool the Net Holster video. He’s always been curious about what we’re cooking up next. Now Jason doesn’t fish, but being an observant person he pointed out that while I was in the process of releasing a fish I had my rod, landing net, and the fish all in my hand and how awkward that looked. I told him it was not awkward at all but the normal way of fishing and I’ve been doing it like that forever. He said I should come up with something to hold my rod and free up my hands. Being busy I brushed it off and didn’t think about it until three days later. That’s how long it took before it sunk in that he was right.
Once again after months of prototyping and field testing, and with the voice of my Uncle Don resonating in my ears ever since I was eight years old, “darn it Wayne, keep your reel out of the sand,” I realised that simple is still best and believe me, some of the ideas and early prototypes weren’t that simple.
Once you get used to using it, in less than one day of fishing, you can’t live without it. While I was field testng an early zinger its cable broke leaving me without my clip for the rest of the day. I seriously missed it and now won’t fish without one. It’s a serious piece of gear that works, can’t believe I didn’t see the need for it myself.
Features:
- Keeps your reel out of the sand, mud and salt
- Leaves your hands free
- Anodized marine grade aluminum and UV resistant materials
- Tested over 50,000 pulls without failing

Spent Line Wrangler
Click image to enlarge
The Smith Creek Spent Line Wrangler™ is a waste tippet, leader and monofilament management system allows you to easily coil and control the waste line that’s created while fishing. It’s the spent-line- wranglerä that allows anglers to coil spent line, then holds it together in their pocket until it’s ready to be trashed. Keeping mono out of the environment helps keep our streams clean.
Smith Creek president/designer Wayne Smith writes: “I see way too much fishing line on the riverbank and I got so tired of re-stuffing spent leaders and tippets back into my vest pocket that I finally designed a tool to make them stay put. And no, I didn’t want another tool hanging from my vest but something simple and slim, which easily fits into my pocket. This is a serious, easy to use and well made tool.”
Lightweight and rugged, the Spent Line Wrangler™ is made from anodized marine-grade aluminum with stainless steel fasteners.
Features:
- Holds waste fishing line securely and out of the environment
- Cut coils in half before disposing your line
- Anodized marine grade aluminum and UV resistant materials
Colours: Burnt Orange or Green (left to right in image)
