Hi RIJimmy, one thing I never forget is a 5 foot piece of rope in case I catch "the big one"! Alot of the beaches I fish require a lot of walking and if you do land a nice fish, this makes it easier to drag, carry, hang over your back, whatever. The best part of this is that I do not buy rope! When I am fishing, walking the beach or driving, I keep my eyes open for rope that has washed up on the beach. I find some pretty long pieces of rope, some as long as 50 feet, almost brand new. I cut it up into 5 foot lengths and I always tuck one in my waders when I am fishing. I wrap it around my wader suspenders and I never even know it is there until I need it. I help the environment by picking up all the rope I can find and it comes in handy for many things, not the least of which is stringing fish! After I cut a piece of rope, I wrap both ends with electrical tape so that it does not unwind....good to go!
