I was thinking about what was my most valuable & important bit of fishing kit the other day and came to the surprising conclusion it was my GPS !

I can replace any rod, reel or bit of tackle but If I lost that I would lose all those fishing spots that have taken so many years to find, so to me its basically priceless!!!...I really should back it up....:eek:

What about you …whats your most valuable bit of kit ?

Mines my new Audi, without that I wouldn't be able to go fishing at all LOL..

Seriously, since I had to give up Pole fishing (because of my bad back) and had to get rid of my Poles; my most valuable bit of tackle is now the original 15ft Hardy Marksman Specialist Float rod that I got bought for my early retirement a few years ago.

My wife. She's the one who tell me I can go, what time I should be home and makes the sandwiches. Couldn't do it without her.

My glasses. Without them I might as well not be there.I dropped the only pair I had with me in the lake on arrival one morning and couldn't even thread the rod.

I can still see a stick float at 60 yards and a bailiff at half a mile but to tie a hook or put a bait on a hair...forget about it. Age is a great leveller when it comes to eyesight !

I've been told by the wife that my brain must be quite valuable as it doesn't get used very often LOL...:)

My car, it would be a pain to get to somewhere I can fish without it, in terms of monetary value it is much more than any single piece of kit I have, and getting my rods etc in it was a big consideration when I chose it.

I agree....the rods and gear have to fit. If I can get Mrs S and the kids in as well then that's a bonus....well,sort of. That's why I had to let the Ferrari go !:D

In an age where I'll happily pay £1500 or more for a new pole, I still possess my first decent rod and it's my most valuable kit.

It's a Shakey Alpha and it cost my Mum £17.95 in 1977. I felt guilty then and I still do now - that was a chunk of wedge when my pocket money was circa 20p a week or so at the time.

It reminds me of a huge sacrifice she made to start me on this road....:)
