EVERY FLY FISHERMEN SHOULD HAVE ONE OF THESE
« on: February 16, 2007, 02:24:52 PM »


The 4 in 1 Kombat Kombo™ is a combination fish bonker, scoop, fillet knife and a built-in sharpener. A great multi-purpose product for all anglers!



A MUST !  :D

Few fly fishermen catch and kill enough fish to justify the purchase of this tool.
I think it is better suited for  pin-spinning, roe-chucking meat-heads. ;)

While I can see the value of this tool and might consider it for the boat, I don't think I would want to carry it around on the flow. Plenty of rocks and logs around to dispatch a fish.For everything else I carry my Leatherman Blast with its razor sharp blade.

Yes, but you can still gut it and bleed it at the river... Which is generally a good thing to do, the sooner you bleed it/gut it, the fresher the meat will stay. If you only live a few minutes from the river, and pack up as soon as you catch something to keep, then heading home before doing anything is okay, but if you are going to stick around and fish for a while, its best to bleed/gut the fish right away. I always keep two ice packs and a collapsible cooler (typically a backpack cooler that came with an 18-pack of Kokanee) with me when fishing so I can get it on ice right way too.
