Robert Jackson –
I’ve been using the Stripee for a few weeks now and it’s a game changer. The neoprene is tough and the felt pad stays clean and effective. I use it every time I clean my fly line after a day on the river. My fingers don’t get scratched anymore, and the line stays in great condition.
Owen Short –
Great product for protecting my fingers while cleaning the line. The fit is snug and the felt pad works well with my 3M Shark Skin line. I only wish the X-Large size had more detailed sizing information.

I fish in saltwater and this has become an essential tool. The neoprene holds up well to moisture and abrasion. I clean my line right after each trip and the Stripee makes it easy and safe.
