Small gear & consumables
The parts and consumables a season uses up
26 categories of things that are lost, broken off and bought again, judged on the same terms as the rods and reels: by what they change, and whether the cheaper option already does it. A part only helps if it matches what you already own — a jig head is chosen against the casting weight printed on your rod and never against the fish, a hook size is paired to a line diameter rather than to a species, and a wire trace is rated in the unit its own packet uses.
Being written
These families have not been written up yet. They appear so that the shape of the catalogue is visible, and so you know what is coming, and deliberately not linked until there is something to read.
