Overlooked tackle box items

[wolfman]

The two things that I always carry in my tackle bag is electrical tape and rubber bands. When fishing around others after dark, these are the most sought after items of people wanting to use or borrow for their glow sticks to put on their poles or bobbers. Just an idea for those who use them.

electrical tape is always a must. even if it's not for practical use it's still fund to wrap things up in it! lol. :D

Hey, you ever tried zip ties for holding your glow sticks on? Another BOC Brother showed me that trick this year and it works real nice. It also makes the glow stick brighter because you aren't covering any of it up with tape.

Tape is still good to have around though. My trolling motor decided to let out some smoke last week and it was a good thing I had a roll of tape around so I could get going again!!!

Elec tape is a must, always have it. Don't forget bug spay either, they get thick sometimes and you are not always able to get some wherever you are.

I always carry a roll of duct tape when bank fishing in the summer months,Because you can put a strip of it on the back of your watch to keep the ticks off,LOL!!!

I have found that tape comes in handy also. We use it if we plan to use gar for bait. My friend learned the hard way and got bit by a gar when we were cutting it up for bait. The tape works well for holding their mouth shut so you dont have to worry about them biting you.

one word : SNAKES !!!!!

when you live near Copperheads and Rattlesnakes , a good snake is a DEAD snake .... thou I have yet to kill a Rattler myself ... the bat does come in handy ....

I find twist ties and toothpicks to be mandatory out there. The twisties hold on glow stix or reattach or add an extra hold on a bell. The toothpix are for hooking gills- Id rather poke em in a gill's back and hook around the toothpick than go through 8 gills trying to cast one the right distance with just a hook in their backs.
