Transport your kayak fishing gear in a tool box

I store all my kayak fishing tools and equipment in a plastic tool box.  It’s a convenient way to keep all that gear together, to carry it around at launch sites, and to protect it when I’m on the road.  When I get to a launch site, I set my kayak down by the water, set the tool box next to the kayak, and install the gear on my kayak.  I reverse the process when derigging at the end of the day.  I like a tool box with a handle on its top better than a plastic storage container with a removable lid, because I can carry the tool box around with one hand.  I also keep various items of maintenance and backup equipment in the tool box, such as a stick of dry suit zipper lubricant, so I'll always have them at a launch site.







I attach several items of fishing gear to a loop of cord, and put the post of a rod holder or fish finder mount through it.  This keeps those items together, and helps me install them on my kayak quickly.

Very nice...

Good idea, Pete. How do you keep the cat tied down?

I only bring my cat with me on my cataraft.

It's just a piece of heavy plastic electrical conduit.
