Line cutters, pliers, a fillet knife, a measuring board and a tackle backpack don’t depend on the rod. Lures and line depend on the species and the water, so look in their tackle box first or skip them. The US Fish and Wildlife Service counted 40 million Americans who fished in 2022, so a local tackle shop is rarely far: its gift card is the fallback for lures.
