Apart from rods and reels...?

[Kine262]

As per the title, apart from rods and reels, what's the one item of tackle that you can't live without.

(and before some smart a*** says hooks or line, be specific, which hook, which line etc.)

My one thing would be Breakaway impact shields. I love them. I put them on most rigs I use.

My mustad backpack.
It's just big enough to get what I need in it and small enough to make sure I can't take too much. Plus it's the most comfortable backpack I've had for fishing, well designed for what I want, has lasted really well with all the places it's been and the many miles it's covered over the years.
