In a world of fire and ice, only one thing can satiate the human spirit..... GEARRRR! In Part 2, we're getting tactical—talking rods, reels, lines, and all the tools to catch fish. We dig into what's new, what's stood the test of time, and the gear that keeps us hooked every season.

Three years after our first gear episode, we're back to see what's changed, what's stayed the same, and what we're still obsessed with. Spoiler alert: we still love GEAR! This time, it's a two-parter—Part 1: Field Prep and Part 2: Tactical Gear. Gear up cause this is a fun one! It also might contain the largest concentration of minutes recorded with Lance and Pablo slappy happy and cracking useless jokes lol!
