Just wondering the essential items all anglers have attached to there bibs and jackets? Especially guys who move around a lot.  Any pics would be once to see as well.   

With me, I have a depth finder weight, led light (to charge my jigs), small jig box (for all my tip up items, see pic) and a small pliers.  Any other "must haves" I should be carrying with me?

I have a lanyard that goes around my neck, it has clippers, blue light for jigs, sounder, and hemostats. I also have a perch eye remover that is on there  that I made.

I carry a small tackle box just like yours in my coat pocket that holds, bigger lures and jigs, hooks, weights, rubber bands, swivels, 2 buttons, and a few other odds and ends. I also keep a strofoam rectangle which holds my smaller hali's, pimples, spoons that I have a leader on already. Just use toothpicks to keep them on there. I have spikes in my other coat pocket.

I have a rag on a d-ring, cellphone and lighter in one bib pocket and needle nose pliers in the other.

Spikes will go around my neck and under my left arm.

I wear a lanyard to which I have attached a pair of nippers, hemostats and a blue light for jigs. I keep my waxies in a bait buck and stick that in the pocket of my jacket. I have a Vex Fl8 Pro Pack and keep my jigs and a few spoons in the box the compartment box that came with it.

I would agree that the ice safety spikes for the accidental swimming lesson would be at the top of the list.   :o   Happy (and dry) trails!
