SPINNING REEL! My dad would sit me on the top of the steps on Lake Ponchartrain with that freaking bait caster and I would untangle a birds nest while he used one of those new fangled Mitchell spinning reels that he saw in France during WW2. I remember seeing the "Made in France" on the side of the reels.

Of course now that I'm a Shimano spin fisherman using braid and fluorocarbon shock leaders and catching more fish. Damn wind knots!

I got a military jacket from the surplus store. It's tough as a $3 steak and with the pockets I keep it stocked so I don't have to chase small gear

Why aren't Yeti coolers not more popular in this thread?

For me:

Kayak Fishing - The Fish Grip
