Posts: 12 | I am working on filling out my toolkit for the boat, the aim is to have everything I need, and not much else. So far I have a hook file, long needle nose pliers to remove hooks, Knipex to cut hooks, scissors for cutting line, a jaw spreader, a pair of gloves for handling fish Am I missing anything? (not counting net, rod/reel/tackle) | ||

(not counting net, rod/reel/tackle) You said a tool kit for the boat, that is probably why most answers are in regard to that. It seems you are actually looking for catch and release tools... | ||

Posts: 383 | Get a set of marine jumper cables. They're smaller than auto cables but you never know when you might need 'em! ^^^^^^^^ Note: Do NOT skimp out and buy cheap-o ones or ATV sized. Trust me on this. When those cables start burning up in the middle of the lake, it's not pretty! | ||
