Do you have the chair on your truck to go with that?  I've seen that at Hatteras.

Here is what has been super useful to me many times --

I am going to try and replace or add a blade using a Penn wrench.

We will see if that is possible.

The vise grip feature works better than the dozen or so real vise grips I have.

Best,

Fred


Real live vise grips in a multi tool.....
I really like that😄
There is nothing like lying flat on your back on the deck, alone except for the helmsman aft at the wheel, silence except for the lapping of the sea against the side of the ship. At that time you can be equal to Ulysses and brother to him.

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

In all Seriousness. If I'm traveling. I'm going to one place.
The Gulf Coast. Navarre in particular.
Other than that, I'm going to work.
I pack a Craftsman socket set in the travel case. A 1/2" drive ratchet with extension for the lug nuts in case I get a flat tire.
So much quicker than a crowbar type.
Make sure my spare is aired up and worthy.
A spare serpentine belt and plenty of beer.
All my fishing gear and frozen bait is in the back.
750 miles to paradise. ;)
If I had to narrow it down to one tool.
It would be a pair of Vice grips.
They go as well, with a few select screwdrivers.
I have been broke down on the side of the road more than once.
I know the drill. ;)

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

I have to carry a smaller size multitool now that I'm older and my body is changing.  A full size one in my pocket pulls my pants down to one side.

Gettin repeditive, but the first thing that came to me when I saw the subject was:Leatherman. Once loaned mine to a coworker and watched him fix the interior of his 2- way radio in the field.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

Sorry guys, I removed my last inappropriate comment and of course your replies, I didn't like where it was headed.
Thanks for your understanding :)

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

All for the best but I have to confess to being an instigator.   ;D No offense taken nor intended

After watching this post for a few weeks, Ive decided not to chime in.. ???  Its not like me to bring just one tool....Butt the large hammer could solve a lot of problems permanently,  as the pliers only works in (with) a pinch!!!!! :-*  Im, still guessing?

David Hall

Yep hammer for me too! As explosives require special permits nothing will perform more functions than a good hammer.

My wife!  ??? She handles instructions very well!  ;)

Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)
