My processing reservations have been confirmed! Things are starting to come together

[Mjg378]

New braid and line on the reels. tackle selection is ongoing but basically set. Since I'm traveling it'll all be in a small duffel so I tend to overthink what to bring.  if it's blue fin I'm using my Eddie Bomb.  I'll still bring a 300 g rip roller.  A few lighter flat falls and  jigs. Have some packages size 2 1 1/0 3/0 circle hooks and2/0 4/0 and even a package of 6/0 J Hooks, some weights and some different size flouro.  I'll have My fishing hat if we're out in the sun.  Very much looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new friends as I missed last year.   See you guys soon.

Can bring spare 5'6" and 6' 50-80 rods if you need them. Will also have a 6' 40-100 rod you can use since I'd be using the 5'6" 40-130.

...as well as enough circle hooks up to 12/0.
