What Is Your Favorite Piece Of Fishing Equipment And Why?

Everyone Has One Piece Of Fishing Equipment That You Use That Is One Of The Best Purchases You Have Ever Made. Its The One Thing That You Use To Make Fishing Easier For You. Its The Thing That You Think Everyone Should Own.

I Will Share Mine And You Share Yours.

I Have To Give Credit For Credit Due. One Morning I Was Watching Hank Parker On Tv. At The End Of His Show He Was Talking About Installing And Replacing Fishing Line On Reels. The Trouble Of Trying To Get Family Members To Help You. And The Time It Takes To Put Line On Reels. This Is How I Found Out About This Product And Now I Have 2 That I Have Owned For Years.

Berkleys Spooling Station Is The Best Purchase I Have Ever Made! Costs About $30.00 Less If You Catch It On Sale. You Can Find It At Any Major Fishing Tackle Store And Even Wally World. This Thing Is Portable, Light, Easy To Use, And Fast. It Works On All Type Of Reels And All Weights And Sizes Of Spools Of Line. I Am Using It Currently On A 3,000 Yard Spool That I Purchased. It Maintains Constant Line Tension When Installing Line On Your Reels. It Includes A Line Stripper With A Built In Line Cutter. I Have Used This Thing On Casting Reels, Bait Casting Reels, Spinning Reels, With Braided Line, Heavy 25 Lb Mono, And Light 4 Lb Line.

Before I Purchased This Product I Never Could Get Line Installed Correctly. Either I Put Line On Backwards Or I Didn't Get The Tension Correct. I Ended Up Fishing Only Once With A Reel And Pulling New Line Off It And Replacing It Again.

Now I Can Replace Line On Reels In Just A Few Minutes Without Making A Mess Or Screwing It Up Putting It On.

Now What Is Your Piece Of Fishing Equipment That You Use That You Think Everyone Should Have And Why?

Gotta say my favorite thing to have in the boat is my daughter. Without her, I'd have to put the rod down to get a minnow, a beer, sunblock, etc. :D
Even when she gets bored fishing on her own, she loves to come stand/sit up front with me and talk about everything thats going on. I hope she still wants to fish with Dad in another 6-8 years.

YOUR A VERY LUCKY MAN! AND YOUR SO RIGHT.

Grip-N-Check measuring board would be one of mine. My Ego Reach net for the ones you do not need to measure. RSLIV I would say you have yourself a fishing partner for life. She will grow up and spend more time doing other things but she will not forget the good times spent beside you in the front of the boat.

kc baller:D

That's so sad, Jeffie. I feel your pain!

Foot controlled trolling motor is the greatest invention ever!
Next would be the ZARA SPOOK. Yeah, yeah, I know it's for going after those "other" fish. I still love the thrill of seeing a big bucket mouth explode on one.

I would have to say Sam (HOOKEDONFISHIN) because we take his boat 90% of the time and he runs the trolling motor and I just sit back there and fish. :D:D:D

Of course I don't guess I had to pay for him.

Monty I swore you would have said a net. I bet come November and December I know what yours will be. And everybody else will wish they had one like yours also.

I TRIED A GRIP-N-CHECK AND I DIDN'T LIKE IT. REMIND ME AT FALL CAMP AND I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU.

The onboard 3 bank battery charger, got one about three years ago and still wondering why it took me so long to buy one. No more running outside in my underwear in the middle of the night to put the charger on a different battery.:)

LMAO! SO WHAT ARE THE NEIGHBORS DOING FOR A SHOW NOW THAT YOUR STAYING INSIDE AT NIGHT? I DO HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU I GOT ONE OF THOSE WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR NEW BOAT. WITH MY OLD BOAT 1 BATTERY WAS BAD ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF NOW WITH 3 BATTERIES ON BOARD IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO.

FUZZY I AGREE! BUT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO ADD ELECTRIC FILLET KNIFE TO MY LIST! I USED TO HAVE ABOUT 12 FILLET KNIFES AND I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THEM TO HAVE THEM SHARPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES PER YEAR. I PURCHASED AN ELECTRIC KNIFE LAST YEAR AND I DON'T KNOW WHY I DIDN'T GO TO ONE YEARS AGO! MINE WORKS OFF OF EITHER 12 VOLT OR 110. AND THE REPLACEMENT BLADES ARE ABOUT $9.00. THATS CHEAPER THAN GETTING KNIFES SHARPENED.
