Lightweight Rain/Wet Gear
Looking for recommendations on some rain or wet gear. I’m in Florida so it needs to be lightweight. Went out last night and got soaked.

I like to try things out for my self before judging them. I’m generally a Shimano snob. Especially when it comes to lighter gear. I have several Twin Power setups that I love. Figured I’d give piscifun a shot. Worst case I would just set it aside for freshwater fishing.
Took the boat out early this morning to get a few hours in and brought it. I caught a little snook and a little snapper on my 2500 Twin Power and then decided to switch to the piscifun to see if I could land anything. Fished for a while and didn’t get any real strikes. I was headed back to the dock on my trolling motor just tossing up under mangroves as I went and then all of a sudden my lure got smashed. Didn’t even see what it was. Just that it was taking out a lot of line. Eventually landed it and it was a stud of an inshore Jack Crevalle. Awesome fight and the chinesium setup didn’t miss a beat.
TLDR caught a big Jack with a piscifun 2000 size reel and 10lb chinesium braid.

Spyderco Slym. Multiple owners. Very slight blemish on clip side pivot. When I took it apart I used a non marring punch on accident to get the pivot pin realigned. Sharpened to 17dps by me and stropped up to a nice razors edge. Carried a few times. Great little knife. $170

This is my 3rd Smock. Once I saw they released an all black version I had to have one.

pulled a rookie move and while cleaning the boat I got the rod caught in one of my hatches and snapped the rod towards the tip. Tried repairing it but it just broke again last night while landing an over enthusiastic lady fish. I’m looking for the same or similar rod. It’s my lightest setup and I use it in both freshwater and salt. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Went for a few hours this evening. Got a keeper trout and a bunch of trash fish.
Spyderco Slym. Multiple owners. Great shape. Took apart to lube and lighten the action. Beautiful knife. I only cut water bottle case open to test sharpness. I sharpened to 17dps and brought up to 3000 then diamond compound stropped. The only blemish is on the clip side pivot screw. Barely noticeable but I like to be transparent. $200

These things have gathered dust long enough. They for a shadow 2 compact. I put them on my ts2 just to show them off. Both grips, mag release, small base pad and large base pad. These are all in color case. $105 and they’re yours.
Thinning the collection a bit more. I need some stuff for another hobby so these are up on the chopping block.

I’ve been contemplating on parting with my KUNWU but I’m pretty sure it’s not going anywhere now. It fits in with my affection with carbon fiber.
Today’s carries. Spyderco Slym and Spyderco PM2 Salt.
Got all my recent goodies and tried them out this weekend. Wife wasn’t too excited that I did it on the dining room table 🤣
