Hello to all Prostaffers from most of the time sunny California!!
I was thinking about what gear I might need for next year and the thought came to me that you guys must have some favorite items to recommend. And seeing that it's getting near to the Holidays and gift giving season I figured Santa might be able to use a little professional help also.
I'm wide open of course, shoes, sunglasses, raingear, gloves, jackets, socks, boots, pocket knife.... anything you would consider to be a personal favorite. Ya know like one of those special little don't leave home without it to go fishing items you've come to love over the years.
OK..... so you might say "Hey geobass, that's a cool question but how bout a little peak into your favorites bag just to get us in the spirit. Fair enough.... here's one of my alltime favorite fishing accessories.
A palm straw fishing hat from SunBody Hats of (mofish will probably be glad to hear this) Houston, Texas. I bought one of the Mexican Standard Palm Cattleman 4" wide brim hats about ten years ago. It has proven to be a fantastic fishing hat. Handmade in Guatemala, it is constructed in the snake coil fashion sewn overlapping from top to outside like the way shingles overlap on a rooftop. Great sun protection with the wide brim, very durable and good in the rain too, because of the overlapping coils, it is vertually waterproff.
Anyway when I bought it at a shop here in Los Angeles about 10 years ago for about 25 bucks I though it was pretty pricey but man let me tell ya, it has proven to be well worth it. There is already a picture of me wearing the hat posted at the begining of my "Reading the Signs" question... some of you may already have seen that one of me with the rainbow so I won't post it again.
And oh yeah!!! The bass seem to like it also. I've been foutunate enough to catch some pretty good lunkers while wearing it too!
Here's a link to SunBody Hats...... take my word for it, the Mexican Standard Palm Cattleman style hat makes a great fishing hat... I added a chinstrap myself. No big deal, just poked two holes in the brim near my ears and got a good long black shoelace. Worked like a charm.. also it has proven to be real good for ocean fishing as well.

I'm looking forward to hearing about all the Pro's personal favorite fishing accessories and also from anyone else that wants to give good 'ole Saint Nick a pointer or two!!!
Good fishing to you guys, later.......... geobass
