canelas kelty backpacks Trekker 65L External Frame Pack, Garnet Red barreling stay for stability and load management Kelty Asher 55 Internal Frame

A good all-around bait net, it sinks quickly and prevents most baitfish from gilling. 1/2-inch mesh net: Good for water to 20 feet, great around bridges and pilings in swift current because larger mesh allows for a faster sink rate

Keep in mind, that these hot grass lines that you find from the current created by dam generation may not fish well when water is not being pulled

Think of these as mini snowshoes for your trekking poles

Instead of schlepping two separate bags, I can fit everything I need for a week in this pack

That was easily the most painful discovery I made in all my years doing this, and you know I have enough passion for reels to actually feel upset over such things

Orient it so the line unrolls from the bottom, matching the reels winding direction
