Kit Question!!

Ok lads an easier question this time!!

What piece of equiptment (other than the straightforward e.g. rods reels) can you not go fishing without???

For me its the pocket multi tool. Has come in handy for unhooking safely, tighten screws on reels and millions of other uses.

for me its hooks.
you can have the best bait, rod, reel and line in the world, but without a hook your not gonna catch a fish

ok i asked for that,
I mean other than rods reels HOOKS, and rigs!!!!
What piece of equiptment makes life just that bit better or easier???

tip tape?
its cheap and much better than lights and chemical glow sticks.
another thing is a hook disgorger. very handy for flats that swallow the hook.

a box or bag to hold it all in, a tripod to rest the rods on while i have a cuppa and the car to get there

Rig winders, dont know how i coped before i found out about them.No more tangled traces and imax do a great rig wallet with a section for winders on one side and a rig wallet on the other side.

flotation suit and vhf marine hand held radio they might not make life better or easier but could save my life,hope i never need to use any of them

head lamp or wind up torch

jesus conor,are you sure you got everything??

Nope match ruler and certified scales..... For the specimens

but without a hook your not gonna catch a fish

I beg to differ, I've caught loads of dogs & whiting that have tangled themselves in traces, but not actually been HOOKED


Toilet roll........

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm................Bait!

Low expectations or high hopes!

Always have both with ya when fishing!!

Quoted for truth. Aside from the obvious ones like bait and whatnot, these are like, the most important things ever.

There is alot to be said for a good sharp pair of sissors - much better than a knife anyway.
Nice big bucket also handy while a flotation suit is essential
