I take one rod. if its spring i take my light stick, if its summer, i bring either or, if its fall i bring the 1213M

for gear, i keep a pair of pliers and a boga attached to my wader belt. I have 3 plugbags that i rotate- a night bag for rock hoppin (medium aquaskins) an all around bag for outflows that will hold a bunch of plugs and bucktails (large aquaskin) and finaly a soft plastics bag for when im pitchin rubber ( medium surfcaster bag with the inserts removed) I'll usually have a power bar or 2 on me, a bottle of water, a spool of Mono or flouro for leaders ( i tie on the fly) and a headlight that i wear around my neck most of the time. I also keep a cellphone in a ziplock baggie inside my waders pocket so mrs eben can get in touch with me incase there is an emergency.
thats it though... the lighter the beter. if i need anything else i have a backup in the buggy.

If I cant do a jumping jack with all the chit Im carrying, I leave stuff behind. Theres no need to go out with every plug you own.
