The Most Important Piece Of Equipment In Your Bag! - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Most important piece of equipment from a safety stand point is not in my bag but around my neck. It's a lanyard with a mini mag light and a whistle. If you ever get hurt, lost etc the whistle will be heard farther and you can blow it a long time verses shouting especially with a loud surf. Course I never go out with out a pair of good side cutter pliers.

Thank you Bigfish. There were fish there again tonight.

How is your finger...did you get stitches as I suggested?

Anytime Max....how was the fish?

Didn't get stitches, probably should but whatever. I didn't get to eat the fish because I was at the sox games last night. The family ate it. It would have been a tough ride home if you werent there thanks again.

that photo is pretty nasty

Ive had mini-cutters in my trunk incase of an accidental hooking, found cutting the hooks is not easy, especially when its connected to a fishermen who will whine everytime its touched. Last time it happened to a parter, with a mambo minnow, gave up cutting it after a few minutes and ended up going to ER and they had to use a rib cutter to cut the point off after giving anestesia.

Thse pliers look pretty good, may give them a shot as they are not expensive but you guys sure they will cut through hooks like ss 3/0?.
