What is the single item that you would never go on a fishing trip without?

 

(I don't mean your boat, fishing license and the obvious things)

 

I am not really sure what mine is but I will do some thinking and post it later.

 

 

Needle nose pliers and good set of cutters.  Not sure if that is obvious or not, but ever since being hooked in the fingers with trebles and 3-4 lbs hanging off my hand for dear life I will never again fish without them. Since I incorporated that rule, I have never had a hook incident again.

Smart Phone-Honestly

 

GPS, contact with 911 or assistance.  I wouldn't head out without it.  I keep mine in one of the Berkley waterproof containers.

at least a second rod... fishing one style gets old quick.

Lucky hat

Well being a 20 year old, I was raised with technology/smartphones/ect, so im going to leave those off. Honestly I wouldnt go without my cigarettes.

It's been a tradition of mine and my sons for quite some time. Before every trip to the Chain we stop off at Thornton's in Volo and he buys chocolate longjons for breakfast.

Truck Keys.

Sunglasses aren't a big deal for me. I've got rugged retinas!

 

Bugspray... Meh... I never seem to have a problem with bugs.

 

Hat? I have the thickest most man-pretty hair - No sun penetrates through it, plus I'm italian and have naturally sun-resistant "olive" skin, so there's no need for me to have a hat to cover my neck or face either.

 

I could go without my smartphone, although I always bring it for pictures and the all-important weather radar.

 

Never used JJ's magic.

 

Hmmmmmmmmm........ I'd say... I really honestly can't think of anything that I would HAVE to have with me. I just need my tackle, my rod, and a fully charged battery to beat those docks and pads with. I can live without most of the stuff mentioned here. If I see one that I really agree with I'll come back and mention it, but for now, I just need the essential fishing gear.

Well if you don't have a scale & you catch a new pb it is not a true pb Then we have to live through another post of how much do you think this weighs?
