Bring Your Own Gear

Even though Hakula is well equipped we encourage anglers to bring their own gear, especially if they have been able to sneak it past their spouse.

We welcome anglers who would like to bring their own rods, reels and lures. Heavens knows you spent a lot of $$$ on them why not use them.

We do however reserved the right for decki Ki'i to check all knots, crimps and leader lengths.
