$100.00 is kind of low?? So I will agree with Decksweeper.......the 1 item I would not go fishing without is definitely my VS pliers!! Many scoff at the price, I paid $250 for mine about.......5 years ago??? I have never changed the blades and I have cut a couple hooks out of people with them! However I recommend to anyone fishing do not be without a pair of cutters as one day you will have an emergency and they will be there for you!!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I've tried many different lights through the years for night fishing, everything from ones held between my teeth, to hung around my neck to clip on visor hight, even lights on my reading glasses.. the lattest and greatest IMHO ( and most comfortable) is one of those hats sold at Lowes with the light built into the visor, mine had three lights( most have 2, three is much better), one on top of the visor, two undernieth, powered by 4 hearing aid batteries in the brim of the hat and a 3 posistion switch which allow you to select which bulbs you want on), this thing is the cats meow... the lights are made by panther vision and are a purple/violet light.. they dont effect your night vision...or bother the fish. I paid about $20 for it...

The one I have has white LED's, which I used a red sharpie on the front light. I love this hat because the under bill lights aim right where you need them....the best lighted hat I've seen very comfortable and perfect for fishing ...although it can't be washed.

Its definitely my funny hat purchased at LL Bean.
Although I rarely fish beyond mid october due to the long, windy, cold nights with nothing to show for it, I like the hat for those below average summer nights in August when there's a nip to the air.
As for other stuff, I stopped buying Skoal a couple years ago as Redlite typically carries multiple tins on him and I simply sponge off his stash. People think I follow him around for the guide service, but its really the free Skoal.
Also, I'm offering 99 bucks for the copyrights to the sea robin picture in my avatar. You could purchase a bunch of fingerless gloves for 99 bucks, your nose will thank you, and I'll brag to the uninformed masses about the bottom fish I took on a topwater plug...still never seen anyone do it before you....I'm jealous  |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
