If you are tired of getting hung up on kelp or sick of caring a big bulky bag around, then this bag may be the best solution for you.
Here are the parts to the bag:
1″ webbing strip 45″ long (for waist sizes 30 – 36) (Use more material if needed)
15″ wide by 20″ long mesh game bag with draw string.
1″ belt buckle
2 – 1″ nylon webbing keepers
2 – plastic 3/4″ washers with 1/4″ hole.
Tools: Lighter and sizers.
Directions.
Find center of the 45″ long 1″ webbing belt and make a hole 5.5″ on each side of the center line. The holes should be 11″ apart.
Remove draw string from the mesh bag and cut the top of the bag allowing an entry and exit for both the webbing belt and the bungee.
Cut a 16″ piece of 1/4″ bungee and run it through the opening at the top of the bag where the cut was just maid.
Run the Nylon belt through the other opening at the top of the bag where the cut was just made.
Now both the Nylon and bungee should be close together and the bungee can be inserted (both ends) into the holes on the nylon webbing belt. Add the plastic washers to the ends of the bungee and tie an overhand knot.
Put the webbing keepers on both ends of the belt apx. 4″ down from the end.
thread the buckle and finally weave the ends of the belt back to the keepers.
You are finished and ready to catch some lobster.
Good luck.
