Stuff I never go fishing without ( apart from hooks, weights and bait of course ;o)

A. Binoculars - fish for spotting thereof ( and spying on what other people are up to :)
B. Penknife
C. Good, sharp scissors ( esp. if you use braid )
D. Boilie stops - holds the boilie/bait on the hair rig.
E. Bait needle - for threading baits onto a hair rig.
F. Bait drill - used for making a hole in esp. hard baits ( eg nuts and pellets ) so that they can be put on a hair rig.
G. Superglue. For repairs etc.
H. Gardiner loop tying device - creates perfect small loops on the end of a hair.
I. Forceps - for unhooking fish.
J. Sink tubing - helps prevent tangles and also pins the line down to the bottom so less chance of a fish being spooked by the line.
K. Heat shrink tubing - necesary for many parts of rig creation ( eg boomarms and line aligners )
L. Imitation baits - tougher and bouyant. Shown are imitation corn, maggots and dog biscuit.
M. Rubber bait bands - for attaching small pellets direcrly to a hook.
N. Cork balls - can be used as a bait in their own right, or for moulding paste around.
O. Splicing needle - for threading small baits onto a hair and rig making.
P. Metal putty - for moulding around line to hold down baits and the line itself. More versatile than split shot weights.
Q.Clip swivels - allow you to change rigs and leaders quickly. The leader can just have a loop in one end, which goes into the clip.
R. Float stops - for creating semi-fixed bolt rigs on a running lead setup.
S. Degorgers - for unhooking fish that are deeply hooked.
