Although I live where the ice does not keep me from chasing bass, my work and family obligations have side lined me for a few months now.  I am starting to get cabin fever.  As usual, I start going through my tackle, when I start noticing symptoms.  I can only gaze at my meager collection for so long.  So I got the idea to ask members to post their tackle pictures.  Pictures of that much tackle, should keep the fever away for days.

 

I want to see pictures of all of it, everything, hard baits, soft baits, hooks, line, rods, reels, boats and motors.  Everything bass fishing.  Why not see what we have?  The more the better.   If the internet breaks, I'm sure it can be fixed.

 

I will get it started with a few of my favorites.

Here’s a shot of the work bench, I have my accessories and tools laid out for so I can take inventory.

I’ll upload the rest of my collection and arsenal soon

I don't think this website can support a file big enough for pics of my tackle and that's just rods, reels, accessories and tools. I know it won't support all my lures, jigs and hooks.

I have an idea that may work for you, but only if you have a BPS or Cabela's near you.  Take a pic of each isle of baits, hard and soft, and think: Papajoe has this, as you look through the pics.

That's pretty much all my tackle... Hard baits and terminal tackle in the Plano edge boxes... Soft plastics on the right side... A few bags full of misc soft plastics in their original packaging... I still have a few boxes full of Keitech swimbaits and frogs still in their clam shells... The small plastic tray is my "day box" that I'll load with a few hard baits I may need for that day.. Just saves me from bringing entire Plano boxes.. I like to put my Keitechs in the clear 3700s and toss a few misc soft plastics packages in my black pack.. Been trying to minimize the amount of tackle I'll bring each trip.. But I still will bring anywhere from 6 to 12 rods with me, depending on what lake I'm fishing..

Totally downsized for this season.

Not included here are the 10 speed bags of soft bait/trailers.

I think your idea of downsizing tackle is similar to a politicians idea of a downsized budget.  I hope you don't have to call for a special purchasing session in the middle of the season.

 

Lots of good stuff, but not a single Rapala product, what's up with that?

Haven't had the kind of success you've had.  But I get a few.

This is a @Siebert Outdoors black and blue 1/4 oz brush jig with a blue sapphire rage craw - but how it looks to a bass!  😮🙂

I have a few Rapala baits.

They are decent.

But what you see in that Pic

works better for me.

And decent doesn't make the cut.

I have a downsizing method that's been working for me.  Each spring I only put in my tackle box the tackle I REMEMBER I have without looking through the totes.  The tackle box has been getting lighter each year and my fishing has been getting easier...

I'm not up to Andy's level, but I'm not doing too bad

20250208_135307-a.jpg.8527d8f078db63ee3c4e4cf6a53f5394.jpg

 

Upper shelf is my terminal tackle and lures - except the right stack of 3600  boxes...that's my panfish lures and plastics.

Second shelf is my plastics

Bottom shelf - green realtree bag is my panfish bag, brown realtree bag is for bass lures and plastics if I go shore-hopping strictly for bass - fits 6x3700 or 9x3701 or combo -, the Flambeau box on the right is my plastics overflow (I.E. I only carry 25 of my GP/Black Flake Yum Dingers, the other 70 or so remaining are in there)

Nice.

Clearly I am a mental case.

Can I say that ?

Think I have you beat? My tackle organization looks like the police just executed a drug search warrant.

Here's a more detailed peek at some tackle used out on Lake Menderchuck ~

Most of my stuff is down at the lake house but I got a nice little set up in the garage.
