Fishing Clothes
Why? On occasion I won't wear any. If I wade in it feels much better not wearing wet briefs the next couple of hours.

For Finesse rods, do you feel that added length gives you more sensitivity and hook setting power?
There are numerous benefits a long fishing rod will offer an angler... more leverage over the fish is not one of them. The angler is on the wrong side of the fulcrum...
