I don't carry any of that stuff!! I'm a minimalist fisherperson who only carries what I need - I normally don't use a net but do carry one on the yak just in case the big one arrives and looks like it is not hooked too good.
A pair of pliers, a box of lures, two rods and reels, a paddle and thats about me ready to fish.
@Skywarrior . . .
You have relayed a story which explains the exact reason I don't bring the bigger flatties into the kayak!! My worst one was a treble through the thumb with a flathead attached. Damaged the other hand trying to get the flathead off the treble and off my THUMB and then did the traditional thing of pushing it through and removing the barb so I could pull the rest back out (it was in the fleshy part on the outside of the thumb! Anyway never again!!

Welcome to L&M . . . the lure is an experimental design using a vintage metal bib It will get down as deep as you want and has an action like a flatfish with a bit of a body roll as well. The bib flashes with the side to side action and it stays in the strike zone for a long time. I've found it seems to attract bigger fish and have caught some big bass on this design too.
And yes . . . catching on something you have made makes it worth the effort
