How many lures do you take on your boat?

[Tim1980]

I take 2 big soft tackle boxes with me some of the stuff I've never used.  One and a half is full of plastics and jigs, the rest is crank baits, jerk baits, spinner baits and  top water.  I wonder if that actually hurts the amount of fish I catch because I switch so much, or

(the one I want to believe) it gives me options to try different things.  I only take 4 rods with me which are:

1. JIG

2.TEXAS RIG

3.WEIGHTLESS

4.CRANKBAIT & SPINNERBAIT

So there is not a lot of tying unless I'm changing leader or colors.

Should I leave some at home or not.

    I take as many as I can fit in the boat.  Never know what you might need.

[Dad_Golf_Fish]

If there's room in the boat...why not? You can't figure out the pattern until you start finding what they want. It could be the stuff you've never used before.

I don't have enough that I have to worry about leaving stuff behind. I start with my favorites, but if they just don't seem interested, I like having other options. I might even find a new favorite.

[DINK WHISPERER]

I will usually take extra of what i need. Like if i know i am fishing a SHALLOW lake with abundant vegetation, i will only bring plastics and a few Rat-L-Traps. If i am fishing deep lakes, i will bring deep divers and Carolina rigs. You get the picture!

[fishingfourfun]

All of them!

[Maxximus Redneckus]

I take all i need i fish water 10 foot or less so its easy for me to take one bag and have all i need. ponds,lakes,

The other day I was looking for a specific lure and decided to take my tackle our of the boat to reorganize it. 20 full rod/reel combo's, 17 large Plano soft plastic boxes, 5 soft tackle bags filled with jigs and terminal tackle, 3 large swimbait boxes and 7 large crankbait boxes.

My night fishing tackle is kept in a cabinet, not in my boat, along with the salt water tackle. Oh well.

When fishing in a friends boat I only take 4 or 5 rods and one large tackle bag. Trying to figure out what to take is one reason I fish alone most of the time.

You only need one rod/reel and what ever the bass are biting.

18 Plano boxes loaded with plastics, cranks, top water, rouges, Spinnerbaits, jigs, crawworms, terminal tackle, etc. Plus 20+ pounds of plastics in their original packages. That's what stays in the boat. There's more if I care to do an inventory.

I'm positive there are 47 Spinnerbaits, 107 Rattletraps(AT last count), 17 Rouges, and at least a hundred other crankbaits of varying designs.

[Tim1980]

I thought I had a lot of stuff, that's ridiculous.

[RoLo]

Though I've never actually counted them, it's as many lures as you could possibly stuff into a 1258 Plano.

Since the majority of my lures are soft plastics, I'm probably toting around 400 lures (my wife totes another 400).

[kms399]

six big plano boxes loaded with hooks/weights, topwater, jigs, shallow cranks, deep cranks, jerk baits/rattle traps.

4 large plano boxes loaded with worms, creature baits, more worms, lizards

5 medium plano boxes with senkos, flukes, trick worms, jig trailers, tubes.

I have a box full of ziplock bags filled with worms, that I just don't like much all the weird colors like semi clear/blue.

[Catt]

My attack bag plus a couple spinner baits & a couple traps

[cart7t]

In the spring and fall,  far more than I do in the summer and winter.  If it was up to me, I'd only have a plastic grocery bag full of lures on the deck and nothing else unfortunately, it doesn't usually work out that way.  

[mike304]

All of them!

Yea, What he said!  Probably too many!  I bought a fish scale last year and weighed my tackle box and and got a big shock, and then I went and bought more stuff to put in it.

[Maxximus Redneckus]

if i was to take all my preloaded bags they wouldnt fit on a 22 ft bass boat i have 8 preloaded bags 3 of wich have plano 3800 size boxes filled with plastics the rest are 3700 size bags filled with random stuff ,then i also have 6 hard plano boxes filled this is a reason im having a tailgate sail tommorow

So, uh....When can can I get 1 of those?    ;D

[Folshen]

I take 'em all with me...but my "all" still fits into one tackle box.

[zaraspook_dylan2]

One thing you can do is;

-bring your whole supply of fishing lures on the boat with you, and constantly change until you find something that works.

-or, you can go out fishing everyday with all your lures until you find 5 or so baits that you know will produce all day, and from there just make little adjustments.

I personally hate changing baits when I'm on the water. So I have 5 baits hooked up all day and dont change them. I just adjust my fishing style to the changing weather/ time of day.

[mikesjet]

TOO MANY!! LOL

They're killing me Wayne, just KILLING me!!

Having major communication issues when it comes to the patterns and colors I want. We have them PHYSICALLY perfect, from the samples I've given out and from my own use, I'm not afraid to say, they are even better than the original,...but the colors,...man, what a nightmare! (and of all the nightmares for me to have,...the guy who doesn't believe 1 bit in "color",....but, I know the customers do so,...)

THE MINUTE I have them in hand, I have a list of folks who are waiting,....you're at the top, believe me. You'll probably get a call with me screaming in your ear that they're in,...they're in!!!

I just don't know when

Update-just got an email, meeting with factory owner at noon I'm going to tell him to CRACK THAT WHIP!!!

[Sherlock 60]

I usually take everything I own, 4/5 of which has never been wet. I always wind up using Senkos and my favorite crankbait.

[Raul]

Better have and not need than need and not have, besides I ain 't carrying them on my back.
