Ok, I know some guys are going to say they don't need another piece of
equipment in the boat, and others will tell about how they use a boat
cleat or wrap the line around their rod handle, but I personally just
can't see flipping heavy braid in heavy cover without a stump puller.

Dave Willhide originally showed me one of these and strongly suggested I
make myself one five or six years ago. I was like the boat cleat and rod
handle guys until I tried it. A stump puller is basically a round smooth
piece of wood with four or five wraps of duct tape in the middle. 8-12
inches seems to be the ideal length. A broken shovel handle is ideal to
cut one from. Thick enough to do the job, and just the right size to wrap
your hand around.

Willhide the guide? Yeah he showed me one, and now I have one whenver I am
on the river.

Now a lot of the guys I know that fish the Delta carry them too.
