    Good list of must haves. The St. Croix is a good all around rod to have. But if I might add just one more thing to the list, and that is “Focus”. One of the best tools anyone can have fishing is focus, whether its someone just starting out or someone who’s been fishing for a long time. It’s easy to get distracted, especially when the fish aren’t biting, but a little focus and attention will go a long, long way. 😉

    Having a solid pair of sunglasses is a must-have as an angler. I don’t know how many times I have forgotten mine and have been unable to see for most of the day. This is definitely a must-have for any angler.

    Hello Sofia Larosa, your reviews for fishing items is nice but why you don’t think about traps ? Some fish like crawfish or crawdad need trap. Some bait fish like minnow or pinfish is also need trap for large amount fishing. Both are tiny fish and need trap to catch.
