I've heard stories of some VS pliers being found on a beach so it got me thinking about what others have lost while fishing.

How do you break a Surefire?
Lost, yup. I had one swiped.
But broken? |

I took a good fall on rocks and smashed it just right, it's not broken just not operating. I believe its the body that not working properly and im only saying that because the lamp,batteries and tailcap operates fine on a different body which leaves me to rule out the body as being defective. |

Lost 5 or 6 plugs (1 Habs needle on 9/22  ), a couple of tins and broke the insert on the top guide of a Lami. Probably would have been a little more if I had got out as much as I would have liked. |

Not this past year but my biggest equipment loss was a brand new
10' honey blank Lami wrapped by Dave Hammock at Murats. I had it leaning up against the back of my truck and a bunch of the Thundermist Striper Club guys came into Murats. Someone said something about getting coffee and I said I'd make the run.
Yep, you can guess the rest....  |

Not hard to do. Fish 100 nights and lose one jig a night, with the tax---you're almost there. |

about a dozen lures. to blues, false albies, and that errant cast you get when the bail closes on you. It's really enjoying to watch a 20.00 plug go hurtling towards the vineyard, and there's nothing you can do about it.

60 % of the time, it works every time.

easy way to solve the problem:Remove the bail and put a manual pickup on the reel...

My worst season in the last 3. Started bad, stayed bad, ended bad. Been in analysis mode for the last month. Think I have a handle on it. Looking forward to next spring already!
