Most important tackle detail?

[Gary Meyers]

the poll: 

I'm with the "bucket" theory put forth earlier (that was a great story). but
if i have to use the list, the knot.

if the criteria was open to all factors in catching fish, i'd go with the
ability to read water.

definitely support the small fly shops. (some of them, albeit a minority,
could help their cause by being a little friendlier.)
