Yeah Out4, I stole your thread title, but what are you gonna do about it? Pffft.

OK, I can feel the pace of Maj's spending, therefore:

What gadgets do you keep on the boat to make life easier or that you've found you can't live without?

I've got 3 in order of importance to me:

1) 8" Stanless needle nose. I have 3 pair mounted to my boat. 1 on each seat up front and 1 at the console by the gear shifter. Makes life easier when dealing with cranks, gar, catfish or a loose nut or any combination therein.

2) Clippers and eye buster. Mounted on a key ring on a retractable lanyard and attached to my rod holder. Dang things get used at least once every trip and sometimes dozens. Doubles as a fingernail clipper when I'm not catching anything. I have well groomed nails.

3) Seat Caddy: Just dang handy to have a spot to set whatever you can't hold on to for a minute - Diet coke, crankbait, weight whatever. Kind of a pain as when I rotate the seat I often bump something like my thigh or the TM when it's stowed but worth the occasional aggrivation.

4) Yeah, I said 3 and now I'm on 4. So what, I paid good money for this thread and I'll do as I please with it. A 5 gallon bucket - Carries my anchor and doubles as a brake when I'm trolling cranks with the wind. Also make a heck of a good trash can and emergency potty. Been told it'd double as a cooler or minner bucket, but after the potty thing, I think I'll stick with the igloo.



So, what you got and can't live without?
