I don't know, maybe Varivas leader material - it's saved some nice fish in some pretty bony spots for me, and I keep wanting to think it improved my catch rates under normal circumstances...

Man, I miss that stuff - I'm on the hunt for it again, found 50# spools at a store in Japan may order some...works out to $1+ per leader but I've spent more on less -

Outside of that I guess I'm a creature of habit - same Penns, same mono, same hooks - it didn't seem like it was broke, so I didn't feel I had to fix it, I guess -

Okay, maybe I oughta toss in Advil liqui-gels, too - my current drug of choice on any night out -

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
