louis Posted May 6, 2009 Report Posted May 6, 2009 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.
