Toeshots Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Been going through all my tackle the last couple days and took out everything I "possibly could" to cut down on the weight. Alas, this is where it ended up (TW shipment comes next week): Still seems way too heavy. What does yours weigh? 1 Quote
S. Sass Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Never thought of actually weighing it. Probably better I not know, ☺ just guessing mine is close to yours. Quote
Ohio Archer Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I weighed my worm bag...full from all the south FL fishing I did back in the 80's and 90's. By itself it weighed over 15 lbs. Not sure about the other two tackle boxes...BTW, all the worms are still in good shape and not a melted mess. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted December 31, 2015 Super User Posted December 31, 2015 My tackle box has a neat trolling motor attachment and needs to be trailered. It's pretty heavy but there's still plenty of room for more A-Jay 8 Quote

Super User Bankbeater Posted December 31, 2015 Super User Posted December 31, 2015 I don't want to know. Quote
Evan K Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Depends what I put in it. All my tackle stays in my truck and I bag only what I want for going out on the water. I fish from the bank and a kayak. Quote
herbu Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Too much. Usually load 3 in the boat. Which ones depend on plan for the day. Probably overkill, since what I use in a day could probably fit in a lunch box. But I still carry a bunch for the same reason your mother told you to always put on clean underwear... because you never know. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted December 31, 2015 Global Moderator Posted December 31, 2015 Too heavy for sure. But too afraid to take anything out! Mike 2 Quote

Mike Before the trip: Oh I don't really need that last crankbait (takes it out). After the trip: If I only had that one crankbait I took out I would have slayed them (puts it back in). Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted December 31, 2015 Super User Posted December 31, 2015 I'm pretty ruthless about taking stuff out; when you're a bank fisherman, you don't want a 25 lb. bag weighing you down. I just cut mine down to 10 lbs. Quote

It's been working well for me close to 35 years now of bass fishing. And if I use 20 percent of what's in there in a days fishing, that would be high. Quote

I also stay with the k.i.s.s approach but what I use and what I carry are two different things, better carry and not need than need and not carry. 1 Quote
GetBent Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I fish out of a kayak I have 3 gallon zip bags. One terminal, 1 creature baits, and 1 senko/sassy stick. 3 Plano 3600 hard baits. Plus stuff stuffed in other crevices throughout my yak. Quote
lecisnith Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I would say my backpack weighs between 15-20 fully loaded and my tackle bag probably weighs close to 30-40. When the pack is on my back and the bag is slung across my body it's not bad. Remember, soldiers carry 75-100 pounds on 30 mile runs. Suck it up and fill it up... Quote
