Stocking The Tackle Box

[jhoffman]

Keep in mind my list doesnt include that I tie all my own jigs now from regular to hair and all of the tackle I already have in my boat from multiple sammys to 50-60 bags of soft plastic.

KISS - tackle trays in your home or garage separated by type of lure, presenation type, color......whatever you choose. Then have 1-2 trays that are empty. On the day of your outing, pick 3-5 techniques and build your trays. One tray for clear/translucent water and one tray for stained/murky water. Take one gallon-sized ziploc freezer bag and put several color of 2-3 soft plastic varieties. Last piece needed is a spinnerbait wallet.

For the rods, pick 3-4 action and power combo rods not technique specific think varying techniques, so:

1 - MH/XF rod loaded with braid and use it for jig-n-craws, frogs, larger soft plastics.

1 - M/Mod rod loaded with 10-15lb flouro or mono (personal pref) and use it for spinnerbaits, treble hook baits and some topwaters

1 - M/XF spinning rod loaded with 10lb. flouro and use it for lightweight to weightless soft plastics like flukes, shakey, wacky, etc and jerkbaits.

1 - ML/XF spinning rod loaded with 6lb flouro for drop shot or inline spinners

With that setup, you can cover most of your bases and have a good chance at catching some fish all other variables constant.

Rage craw in bama craw and a keel weighted hook. Super deadly combo. Also get some super flukes in pearl. Definitely one of my top baits. Pearl seems to work wherever and whenever.
