Hi. if you have'nt all ready got them you should have first , fish mat laying fish on for un hooking. 2 or3 diffrent forceps some good long ones .wire cutters .Good size landing net 42" or so. You will build your gear up steady ,but all ways be ready for quick a safely release ,their not as hard as a lot of people think. DSont walk off with your gear still fishing in the water, as not been their will only lead up to your fish getting deep hooked and dyeing.....Enjoy your fishing and i hope you get some good sport..If i can help just ask any probs on tackle or rigs.
