Many anglers prefer to string their bass, on account

of their weight, and tie the string to a belt loop and make the fish transport themselves. When fishing from a boat a stringer, or better still, a fish bag is to be preferred since it keeps the fish alive. Fish that are not kept in a bag should be killed at once — humane and keeps the catch in better condition.

Tackle Box and Tackle Book

The angler who fishes entirely from a boat may use a tackle box such as his fancy dictates but for wading, space and weight make a tackle book desirable. This is made long and narrow with many gusseted pockets. In it one carries spare leaders or gut, hooks, scales, scissors (handy for snipping gut) tape or ruler, sinkers, split shot, swivels, oil can, connecting links, camera films, stringer, repair kit, fly or mosquito dope, line re-leaser, pliers, and all the other little knick-knacks that anglers use or think they use.
