A friend of mine lost his rod and reel overboard on a 1500 acre reservoir.  He and his boat partner spent a hour or so dragging the area [50' deep] to no avail.
He was out again the next day and well away from the area the rod was lost in when his partner dredged up the lost rod, hooked neatly in the top rod ring??

I've left my rod on the shore after helpin' a fellow load his aluminum boat... returned the next day and there it was.....now I have a routine...if I'm packin' up to leave the lake I'll not be very good company till I'm done...not rude....just bizzy...I have a routine and I stick with it...after I'm all loaded up a beer and a chat is more than welcomed...get a routine and stick with it!!!

I just about had a heart attack this weekend.  My buddy and I fished a spot on the upper river.  I had my backpack with me.  Its a custom made Kifaru (pricey) and contained my HD Camcorder and my Simms wading jacket.  I took the backpack off and placed it on the bank behind me.  Nothing was biting so we split and drove back into town to check out centerpins at Dart and Tackle.  Only after I got back in the car did I realize I left it.  That fact, and the fact that there was numerous people around just about made me physically ill.  I made it back to the hole in about 2.5 minutes (hope Chilliwack has no photo radar). 

The pack was right where I left it:)  From now on, once its on my back, it stays on my back.

Tell me about it.  I should've bought a lottery ticket.

I lost the tip on my sage z-axis when I got pushed into the weed beds with strong wind - my rod was in a holder but the tip and line dipped into the water and got pushed into the weeds and tangled. The wind blew us further away and when I tried to pull my rod out the end popped out

Luckily it was replacable by Sage.

Another item to always pack is a flash light...  Especially when you are having lots of fun and forget it is past dusk... These days - with the LED flashlights so cheap and small - using AA or AAA batteries - should not be a big deal leaving one in the back pack... and very handy if you just happen to drop your car keys on the rocks..

or you could mount working lights on the rear of your boatloader....turns night into day...))
