I'd say of the accessories that I use regularly, most things are pretty interchangeable, with the exception of my VS pliers. I feel sort of lost with out them.

$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...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

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.
