Excellent idea of using a collapsible clothes hamper as a stripping basket as posted here . Now then, to use one in a boat would require weight so it doesn't make like a seagull and fly away. The weight would need to be compact and snag-free. Over to you oh best and brightest of TFF, you shade tree engineering geniuses.

now that it wont move, I give ya my opinion why it should
ya gonna fish or strip line into a basket ?
baskets are a pain in the a$$, catching everything on deck is too, but they probably equal out in the long run
