Posts: 284 Location: Eagan, MN | Do you outdoor types ever pause momentarily in appreciation of some of the finer gear that you use? Things that make your life a little more enjoyable in the out-of-doors? Things that have exceeded your expectations and shown great dependability over a long period of time? Something that, even after a lot of use, you think, 'gosh, this thing is awesome'? A few for me: Tranx Striker Ice floatation suit Wool boot inserts HB 360 bow mounted sonar What gear stands out as exceptional and you wouldn't want to live without? Brian | ||

The wool boot inserts strikes a chord with me. The first year I deer hunted, we set a record for coldest opener in central WI. 15 below zero at shooting time (1964). My hands and feet were so stiff neither would move by 9:00AM. Couple years later, Sorels became widely available and cold feet were pretty much a thing of the past. The clothing we have today for hunting and fishing is so good compared to what was available when I started, there is no comparison. If you are cold, wet, miserable, I don't care how fine your reel, rod or line is, you won't have fun. | |||

Posts: 1828 | I hate to admit it but the smartphone is a huge game changer. real time weather updates (barometer, radar), check sun/moon rise/sets if you forgot them, access to satellite imagery and depth contours, get your GPS location, call home to tell your wife to put the pizza in the oven as you make your last cast, take pics of your fish, take release video, enter quick notes about the catch, etc. etc. and then check MuskieFirst to see what color cowgirl you should be throwing. | ||

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | Lexa 300 reminds me constantly how great magnetic cast control is on a muskie size reel. It continues to amaze me when I can hand it to someone that's never touched a baitcaster, give them a one minute explanation of how to cast and have them casting long, backlash free casts all day. Game changer! Edited by Will Schultz 1/12/2017 11:57 AM | ||

Posts: 296 | Tuffy G-series tiller boats Custom Predator Rods TranX is the most durable and well built reel I have ever owned. That said mine sat in a compartment all of last season because I didn't hate muskies enough to put a 20oz reel on a custom rod. Not sure if the hatred will return. | ||

Posts: 735 Location: Apparently where the Muskie aren't | Well for fishing, my original carrot stix that I have for bass fishing. They have held up great, even smashed the butt end, blank and everything (only about the last 1-2 inches) and I still use that rod!!! I know it's a fishing forum but I can't leave out my breathable banded insulated waders, keep me warm and dry in the duck blind. Edited by Musky_Mo16 1/12/2017 9:30 PM | ||
