One of the biggest mistakes I made when I started fishing the Canal was not having pre-tied leaders and eel rigs. If you have are into decent sized fish they usually can scrape up a leader pretty good and changing when they are nicked up is the difference between trophies or good fish stories. Not that 5 minutes is that big a deal, but 9 times out of 10 when the fish are passing through it's fast and furious and mistakes are easy to make when you're rushing to tie new leaders, ect...

I also carry a small file to sharpen hooks when I rig up. Couple strokes makes a big difference.
