The following example checklist includes a variety of equipment that may be needed when kayak fishing (all safety equipment is not listed):

rod-reel outfits
tackle assortment
bait
landing net
pliers
knife
line cutters
rag
fish bag
ice

This checklist is only an example. In reality, each kayak angler will create their own personal equipment list based upon their local fishing requirements.
