I know electronics are important, many guys wouldn't go out without the right setup.

I thought for this thread, we could talk about everything else a beginner would need.

We have a new member, JeffKess, who asked me about fish stringers a few days ago, and I wanted to respond to him and others who might want to compare some basic items that make life easier.


So feel free to post up any beginner or basic gear that you're using, and why ya like it over the other choices out there.
