Talonman Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Hellow all, just joined, and this is my first post. I live in Ohio, just bought me a new 2014 16' 2" Lund Fury this year, and getting back into fishing. I have been working hard at building up my Tackle Box. How do you think I am doing? This is how she currently looks: Tray 1Tray 2Tray 3 Tray 4 My next order will be to fill this tray up:Megabass Ito Shiner - Length 4.5", Weight 1/2oz, Hook #4, Depth 8-9ft. (Suspending)(1) Color: GG. PerchMegabass Ito Vision 110 Squarebill - Length 4.35", Weight 1/2oz, Depth 6-7ft. (Floating)(1) Color: GG. GillRapala BX Balsa Extreme Jointed Minnow 3-1/2", 5/16oz, 6-8ft, Hook size 6.(1) Color: Smelt(1) Color: Gold ShinerI figure I will move my Smithwick Limited Rogue in the Nuclear Clown color, into the same slot as my new GG. Perch Megabass Ito Shiner, as both are suspending class baits.That will give me (2) 'Big Boy' Suspending Jerkbaits...And (4) 'Big Boy' floating...Cotton Cordell Red Fin - CHR/BLACK BACKBomber Long A B15 - Silver/White/RedBagley BangOLure Jerk Bait - Baby BassMegabass Ito Vision 110 Squarebill Jerkbait - GG. GillProbably a healthy ratio of Floaters to Suspenders...This will also scratch my itch for some more natural looking jerks. I will just line up the 4 floaters on the left side of my tray, so its easy to remember.My 2 suspenders will go top right.I wish TW had those old school jointed Rapala minnows.I would buy one. Tray 5 Tray 6 Also have these in the bag too... I now even have a new Terminal Tackle Utility Box going... 6 Quote
SoMinnBass Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Welcome!It looks like you are developing a nice range of techniques and colors. You might find more versatility in having more than just those few sizes of bullet weights for texas rigging. Do you have any spinnerbaits or buzzbaits hiding in those pockets? Don't forget those! For carolina rigging, you could try some glass beads (8mm), they will make more noise against your sinker than plastic ones, and you can get them pretty cheap at a hobby store or craft store. It doesn't look like you have many crankbaits that go past 10-12 ft. Depending on where you live, if the water goes deeper then you will probably find bass there too. If you want some jointed Rapalas, try ebay. Sometimes you can find new ones, or even just buy used ones and put new hooks on and they should work fine.Lookin' good! Quote
Talonman Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks for the input... I will look into picking up some new bullet weights... and some glass beads too. I don't keep my spinner-baits in that tackle box, but I have them too... Quote

Stlbob Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 you have to be careful..acquiring tackle can be habit forming.when you find yourself having to get another tackle box because the get deal you just got on Ebay,CL,etc just wont fit in one box anymore..lol... 2 Quote

I will keep you in mind KDW96, if the clutter gets too much out of control. Quote
Preytorien Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Looks awesome! You might consider adding some Siebert jigs to the jig box. They're unparalleled in quality IMHO! http://www.siebertoutdoors.com/ 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 29, 2014 Global Moderator Posted January 29, 2014 How do you find anything in that mess?? Mine look more like this, You have a good selection going, just add to it slowly and one day you too can spend 10 minutes untangling hooks to finally give up and just use whatever comes untangled the easiest. 2 Quote
Talonman Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 Wow man... You are a mobile bait store! Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted January 29, 2014 Super User Posted January 29, 2014 I would add some walk the dog topwater to it. A good ole spook works wonders! Jeff Quote
Talonman Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 I have not had a walk the dog topwater type bait yet. Some good advice, I will have to look into that. Quote

That sounds familiar! OP - You have a great selection there. As soon as the weather permits, get out there and fish it! Tom Quote
