BasKette Features

Baskette has a ring of drainage holes inside its bottom. They cause the water to drain immediately. If the stripping basket is put fully under water e.g. due to a big wave then the buoyancy press the BasKette up while the water drains through the drainage holes.
BasKette is equipped with a magnet inside the middle spike. The magnet can be used to fixate the fly during fly switching or when the tip is changed.
BasKette comes with a solid belt that can be adjusted in and out by buckle. The belt is elastic and made without any loose ends or sewings that can catch the line. The belt is fastend on the outside of the stripping basket, which means no wholes where the water can flow into the BasKette.
BasKette’s five spikes are extra high. This is to prevent the line from filtering when you wade into deep water or when you fish in high waves. Buoyancy lifts the stripping basket towards the surface and hereby water drains. Therefore the stripping basket is drained faster than the line rises in the water. The high spikes also prevent the line from being lifted out of the basket and filtering.
BasKette comes with a classic rod rest. In strong weather you can also use the line lock to fixate the fly rod. Hereby the fly rod is firmly held and will require further effort for wind and waves to loosen.
On the front edge of the stripping basket is a 25 cm (9.8 inches) ruler with a clear mark for every 5 cm. Further the stripping basket has an inside measurement of 40 cm (15.7 inches). These two measurements can be used to determine the size of your fish.
BasKette is equipped with a line lock – a double-sided wedge – that prevents the line from beeing drawn out of the stripping basket when fly fishing in strong wind and high waves.
BasKette is produced in a strong material that lets you use it a chair. Hereby you can reduce wear on your waders.

What others say about us

BasKette stripping basket is definitely the best line basket I’ve ever tried. It always sits perfectly perpendicular and fixed to the body. It is never filled with water, either by deep wading or when I’m fishing in wave (what I love to do). BasKette stripping basket has really increased my radius through extra throw and far less mess up the line on the days where the weather shows its teeth.

BasKette stripping basket is slightly heavier than other curve, but it felt not at all when it is excited – because it sits so perfectly, without hanging and flopping.

BasKette is certainly the curve of the coast experienced fly fisherman who, like I will not miss a single fish because of gear or challenging weather. It is for him or her who already have a conventional stripping basket and experienced the limitations of such. BasKette stripping basket shaving off a sizable portion of the restrictions away.

There is no doubt that it has secured me several extra fish and far fewer line problems. I am very impressed and will not return to my old basket again.

I was very excited when Claus Eriksen sent me the new stripping basket to Germany. Today was the right day to test and I must say… I like it.

My Orvis basket is also a good one but the baskette has some good improvements. What I really like is the separate fastening of the belt, the different rod holders and with the holes you do not have allways to distribute the water.

Sure… you catch not more fish but it’s an more relaxed fishing. Maybe the belt can have some cm more… specially for king size people, in winter with a lot of clothes and Neoprenwaders the belt might be too short.

The price is certainly high but it’s handmade… so 9 out of 10 points from me.
