Sondergaard Coastal - Stripping Basket

Sondergaard Coastal Line Basket is the perfect tool for line management when fly fishing—made from lightweight materials and with an ergonomic design. Flexible silicone posts prevent line tangles and enable long casts with minimal resistance. An adjustable, Velcro-fitted belt keeps the basket securely in place during long days on the water.

Smooth, tangle-free fly line management

Sondergaard Line Baskets are the result of a thoughtful combination of lightweight materials, ergonomic design, and real fly fishing functionality. These comfortable and easy-to-use baskets feature flexible silicone posts that prevent line tangles and keep your line organized, while allowing it to shoot effortlessly with minimal resistance. The Coastal model is a slightly larger offering, and perfect if you look for a line basket that keep your line organized even in wind and when wading deep.

Structural integrety
The baskets are constructed from high-density, closed-cell foam, chosen for its low water absorption, buoyancy, and structural integrity. Built-in drain holes prevent water buildup, keeping the basket light and functional even in surf or rain. Most models also include a molded rod rest for hands-free rigging or fly changes.

Efficient line handling
An adjustable, Velcro-fitted belt secures the basket in place, and the ergonomic tray contours naturally to the body, allowing freedom of movement while wading or casting. The half-open design supports efficient line handling and quick pickup, especially in gusty conditions or when a fast recast is needed.

Protects the line
The silicone posts are tuned to hold modern shooting lines securely without causing damage. They flex under pressure and return to shape, offering the right balance between control and release. By keeping the line elevated and away from sharp rocks, seaweed, or gear, the basket helps protect the coating and maintain the line’s performance over time and extends its life span.
