Default What gadgets do you carry?

Just wondered what gadgets and stuff you all carry? When I say gadgets I mean things like snippers, forceps, floatant, sinkant etc

Just wanted to find out how many people carry on their vest?

I usually carry:

1 x 7 inch forceps on a zinger
1 x 3 inch flat nose pliers on a zinger
1 x snippers on a zinger
1 x fly drying patch
1 x gink
1 x xink
1 x pot of fullers earth
1 x pot of fullers earth and fairy liquid
Turn on indicators

Can anyone add anything else?

Defo agree with the monomaster - thought it was gimmicky at first but always carry it now.....should be mandatory.

Pair of small Hardy scissors - they double up as pliers and cutters. You can't easily cut up thick mono or mono wound round your fingers to be cut in to small pieces with nippers.

Nippers on a zinger,
Line straightener/de-greaser on a zinger,
Multi-tool with pliers
Tippet that I'm using,
Fly patch.

That's all I carry on me.... the rest is in the bag (which is never far away)with my reels, sarnies, flask, sinkant/floatant, priest and camera.
