💡🎣 A tip for the beginner fishos, or those with graphite or graphite composite rods... Travel to your fishing destination with the leader ready, minus the hooks and sinkers. I simply loop the leader around the handle, and when I arrive at my fishing spot, put the hooks and sinkers on my rig, and I'm good to go. This saves anyone from potentially getting hooks in them, and your rods (and boat!) from getting banged around by wayward sinkers. Is this something you do too? #fishingtips #fishingtip

OceanDevil makes some insane gear that I regularly stress test
