Your best fishing tools

What are your favorite old or new fishing-related tools or accessories? Which one do you miss the most when you forget to bring it along?

My 2 choices: My new Zacx hook remover - really good for gut/gullet hooked bass.

 Second one is the old stand-by 'jaw spreader' - especially ice fishing for Pike/Pickerel. (why be a blood donor?):)

Most fun & rewarding have been lure molds. 

Diamond jig, casting spoon, & crippled herring.  

 

I now sit and ponder things like modifications, non-toxic alloys, paints, hooks, techniques etc etc.

I really like making my own jigs also. Can I see a picture of your crippled herring mold?

Looks like this.   The smallest 2 are really tough to pour.  But caught some trout on them.  62f7c752a5721_Capture_2022-08-13-11-45-07.png.577ffaeb96ba15779dd96e2683cb3f25.pngthis was the first pour. Stone cold mold with a bismuth/tin alloy. 

size 1 & 0 eyelets.  0 are really a pita to put in mold. IMG_20220129_162010_01.jpg.9acb8539d285e0d2cd0e45598cf4ba83.jpg

Thanks Pseg’s, I’ve been eyeing that seller on the bay for a while. Gonna give them a shot I think. I haven’t really molded blade style lures much just jig heads and bucktails. I love catching on homemade stuff.
