Thread: Pier 'Start up' Kit

I have often heard from new-commers to pier fishing "is there a kit I can buy to get me started?"
Well now there is thanks to my buddy Sonny Hovatter, and it's under $40!

It's almost that time of the year again if you are new to pier fishing this kit will get you started.

Just to be on the safe side I would add couple more bubbles and yellow and green Walmart sunglass holders. Might add another $5 to the list but the pier is deadly on bubbles.

I actually was cutting some sunglasses holders to add to the kit earlier today.

Last fall..I was ready! 20+ of red, yellow and orange bubble rig leaders - neatly packed in zip lock bags. All leaders ready to clip on the 12 pre-tied bubbles. I was READY!
Nope...they wanted looney jigs. Lucky me..I had a box of them too. We averaged loosing 10-12 every day to sharks and high strikes, even with steel leaders.
Lesson to learn - be prepared and have both ready to go.
Oh My.. I can not wait!!!!!!

Man I hear you. This warm weather is messing with me. I have some beautiful buttercups in my yard. Still 2.5 months until I get to fish. I guess I need to get all my tackle ready.

Don't remember what my tackle box even looks like its been before Thanksgiving since I've been down. I did think about my Battle 4000 with 20lb.braid that I got spooled on and lost almost all my line on. Picked up new 300 yd. spool couple weeks ago.

That would be the brightly colored tubes that you put on your sunglasses to keep from losing them. They are much more valuable as lures for Spanish when cut into 2" lengths and used with a bubble rig.
