Heavy duty cutters for your biggest hooks. A stick of epoxy dough - the type you cut a chunk from and knead.

Way back when I was doing the towing/salvage job ,We came across more than 1 boat that had been borrowed & folks left float'n or stranded on a Key. Soooooo ! Just don't stop in the "Park" with it.Its small, The only drawbacks- If Ya got "hands" its grip/clip comes 1/2 - 3/4 in My palm. Heavy ! Helps w/re-coil.When Ya put it in Your waist or pocket You fit in !
(Your pants Hang down past your BoXers)! Still a Cool lil' Backup!

For me it’s what I don’t have that I enjoy the most.
1. a defined agenda.
2. a cell phone.
3. exact time to come home.
4. traffic, stop signs, stop lights, etc.
5. speeding limit.
6. a care in the world.

For my must have list.
1. a live well full of bait.
2. a full tank of gas.
3. the smell of salt water as I am leaving the inlet.
4. a few good friends.
5. most everything on the boat working right.
6. blue skies and 1-3 footers.
7. fish in the box.
8. and a story to tell when I get back to those who were left at the dock.

I'm with you Fellow-ship. Tug, I carry a 40 S&W stainless. Not very small, but very effective.

Also a test light especially if you have my luck with running light and mic. connectors.
