Piece your arsenal together slowly. I think of my gear as tools, each has a purpose and all supplement each other. So if $$$ is an issue (which it is for me) I'll stake out what I want and only get it when I can afford it. So you've made the plunge and got your yak, now start out with necessary fishing and safety gear. There are threads on here with alot of info as to what is both necessary and quality. And if you don't have something you need, chances are you'll realize it when your OTW. WELCOME
