papajoe222 Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 I've already started reorganizing some of my tackle and was surprised to learn that the one style of bait I have the most of are crankbaits. Between, wake baits, shallow medium and deep runners, flat sided and fat bodied, not to mention suspending and silent versions, they outnumber all my other hard baits combined. I half expected my jig collection to come out on top, but the only baits that come close in numbers are my tubes, only because I don't count them individually, but by the bags. As you can easily guess, I have a lot of tubes. So what lure type dominates your tackle? If it's a soft plastic, what type (worms, craws, frogs, etc.)? Quote
flyingmonkie Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Soft plastic... by far... i have the drawers of an old dresser stuffed full. I recently became the advisor to a collegiate fishing team - maybe I should give some to the kids? Cranks #2. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 5, 2016 Global Moderator Posted December 5, 2016 If they're all lumped into one category, soft plastics by a wide margin. I like flipping and pitching, so I'm a sucker for creature baits and beavers. After that it's jigs, a byproduct of pouring and tying my own. 2 Quote
Alan Reed Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Soft plastics these two catagories have the highest number by far. 1. Worms - Senko and Yum Dingers the most 2. Flukes - split tail and paddle tail 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted December 5, 2016 Super User Posted December 5, 2016 Soft plastics by far . Hard baits it would be crankbaits . Quote
Super User Raul Posted December 5, 2016 Super User Posted December 5, 2016 Evenly spread between plastics, cranks & spinnerbaits. 2 Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted December 5, 2016 Super User Posted December 5, 2016 Zoom finesse and Trick worms, no other comes even close. 1 Quote
KDW96 Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 1 Plastics small totes full. 2 Crankbaits 3700s full, some havent been open for 10yrs. 3 Tackle bags ,what the h**l wrong with me? 4 Empty never used storage boxes, again wth? Gonna be a major project this winter. Im gonna make up complete tackle bags. In 2017 ill be paying forward about 8 complete bags at time while out fishing. Thanks papajoe, it game on now Quote
tander Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Probably plastics but i do have boxes of crankbaits. My big order was Z Man plastics this Black Friday, most Ned baits. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted December 5, 2016 Super User Posted December 5, 2016 If plastics are all lumped into one, I have the most of those by far, followed up by crankbaits Quote
riverbasser Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Like they said if its all lumped then plastics of course mostly jig trailers and swimbaits. Cranks and jigs are too close to say but I definitely have more cranks than need and it not really my goto presentation Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted December 5, 2016 Global Moderator Posted December 5, 2016 Like most others, plastics, plastics and more plastic. To break it down...Craws/Beavers, Stick Baits and Paddle Tail Swimbait's Mike Quote
Super User Scott F Posted December 5, 2016 Super User Posted December 5, 2016 I just reorganized my tackle and was surprised at the number of suspending jerkbaits I have. I don't often use other diving crankbaits and I just started fishing the jerkbaits a few years ago. While I too have more plastics, dollar wise, my investment in the jerkbaits has to be higher than all the plastics combined. When one jerkbait costs about the same as 3 bags of plastics.... You know winter is here when I'm spending time counting baits instead of throwing them. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 5, 2016 Super User Posted December 5, 2016 #1 Soft plastics (mostly Rage Tail and GYCB) #2 Jigs (exclusively Siebert Outdoors) #3 Jerkbaits (my favorite collection) #4 Crankbaits #5 Spinnerbaits and Bladed Jigs Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted December 5, 2016 Super User Posted December 5, 2016 Jerkbaits. I have an affinity for them. 2 Quote
Oklahoma Mike Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Soft plastics by a long shot. Behind that it's probably topwater lures followed by spinnerbaits or jigs. Quote
jr231 Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 If you're counting packs of plastics as one then I have the most of hardbaits. Mostly rapala and bomber. 150+ rapala (jerkbaits,cranks,topwater,) and 25+ bomber. maybe 5 live target, and a couple miscellaneous. Quote

Although this is not my most productive technique, jerkbaits are my favorite lures to fish. I am REALLY going to try using some of my 10 year old lures that have only `seen water in my swimming pool! I would estimate using no more than a dozen different jerkbaits over the years, the other 100 or so are still "on deck". 1 Quote
wdp Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Shallow cranks & swimbaits. Forget how many I have til I buy more (usually when on sale), then I look and say to myself..... I really don't need any more crank or swimbaits. ? Quote
