What's In Your Lineup?

[Thornback]

I guess I'm in the minority because I fish with wild shiners. I travel light without a tackle box, fishing out of my 17.5 Special Edition Bass Tracker. I'm using a 7' cherry wood Berkley MH rod. The reel is an Abu Garcia Pro Max, 8 bearings, 7.1:1, bait caster with Power Pro #40 braided line. I tie on a 3/0 Kahle hook with the Palomar knot. I carry two spare rods and reels and I carry about 6 spare hooks and floats.

Sounds to me like the ticket to some monster Florida bass!

My kinda guy!

 

I always have two pistol grip rods with custom built Ambassadeur 4500's rigged with 12# mono.  One with a super spook jr. one with a Lil' Richard.  Rarely do I ever bother with anything else.

I find the guys I fish with bring along these huge tackle boxes and we stumble over them while fishing. And I know another guy who keeps a plastic zip-loc bag containing hooks in his pocket. He says that's his tackle box

I don't use bait and floats (they don't call them bobbers any more?), my tackle box is a Rapala package with an extra lure in it.

I usually bring one MF spinning rod although since getting a Smallmouth M-XF it will be coming along more often, occasionally a HF baitcast rod.  The rest will be baitcast rods and normally a mixture of MHF, MF with at least one MLF thrown in the mix for lighter lures.  I never carry more than 2 when fishing from shore, but there will always be more in the car (with a M-XF a possibility).

 

Been fishing from shore the past 3 years and leave the tackle boxes in the car.  If I carry any extra lures with me, they will be in shirt pockets.  Once in a blue moon I will carry a tray with me.

 

Like Raul (and no doubt a few others), I'm not going to list every rod/reel.  I've been putting together an arsenal since Feb. '09.  I can't say I have "enough" (could that ever be a true statement? ), but can say I have "too many".  Especially for a guy in my position.

 

EDIT:  I had to invest in a few bobbers....oops, floats....this year because a grandson wanted to fish with some worms.  BTW, fished with them a lot in my youth, but many times off the bottom.  Only used bobbers when after panfish.
