So far so good - right on track

Over the course of the winter I cleared out my tackle room (for the 1st time in God knows how many years), sorted through everything to find the stuff I forgot I had and actually tossed some stuff out - although not all that much, I guess...

I already picked up new waders, new Korkers, a new surf top and a couple of rods...checked and rehooked all my plugs, rigged my Sluggos and checked my eels bags...plenty of live-bait hooks...also picked up a new eel trap...then checked off the last few plugs I had to have at the RISAA show

May tie a few more jigs but it'll be more out of boredom than need...made sure I had plenty of slip floats and 1/8 oz jig heads for Spring light tackle blackfishing,too...

So I'm pretty much ready to roll - and real soon too - just gotta figure out what I'm gonna do for a new plug bag - may just go with another Surfcaster bag since the old one lasted for probably 20 years and I always liked the set-up

The only thing left on my to-do listnow is spool up my reels

My only dilemma is what the hell I'm gonna do for leader material...

I used to love 50# Varivas but it's all but impossible to get, it seems - Leptar sent me a link to a site a while back but it's no longer valid

Beats me - I finally gave up last year and used 50# Big Game, but I want to go back to flouro - maybe someone will chime in with their leader material of choice

"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.
