Super User Hooligan Posted April 26, 2011 Super User Posted April 26, 2011 Here's the scenario: You're going to fish a lake that you've fished a handful of times; just enough that you're not fishing totally blind. You are going to fish this lake for two days total, and are limited on the tackle you can take. You've got to make everything fit in a single "binder" type tackle bag. You can take four rods. Temps are in the mid 50's and the water is lightly stained to clear. What do you take in your bag? Rods: Cumara 7-2 MH, Cumara 7-2MHXF, Shimano Cumara 7-2 Dropshot, MBR783C GLX Tackle Vision 110 in GG Gill Pointer 100 in Sunfish 3/4 oz Willow/willow in bluegill 1/2 oz black/blue jig 1/2 oz Green Pumpkin jig Rage Craw Blk Blue/Green Pumpkin SK Finesse worm in Green Pumpkin 7" 5" Senko Green Pumpkin 4" Senko Smoke blk/purple Fat Ika GP Clackin Rap If I can't catch on those, I shouldn't be fishing.

Fat-G Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Yeah that sums it up for me. I would take a lot of jigs and plastics. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted April 26, 2011 Author Super User Posted April 26, 2011 No trick worms? -gk I have never caught a fish on a Trickworm. Ever. Finesse worm, yes. Trick Worm, no. Quote
joshholmes Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 dont rule out suspending hard plastic jerkbaits. they allow to keep a bait in the strike zone longer than a fluke and work incredibly well this time of year Quote

Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted April 28, 2011 Super User Posted April 28, 2011 You better add reels to that or all your other stuff is useless Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 28, 2011 Global Moderator Posted April 28, 2011 I might add a red 1/2 trap of some type to that list, other than that I'd say it looks right to me. Quote
brushhoggin Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 one frog,one buzzbait, one spinnerbait, one lipless crank, one square bill, one jig, and two packs of bama bug game hawgs. Quote
Big-O Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 All good info... might add 4 or 5/0 weighted screwlock hooks like (Moaner Weighted Stroker) for adding a horizontal fall to your Craws and/or other high action soft plastics. When a shallow T rig bite is tough, this will often improve it. And when it's good, this can sometime make it even better Fish'em slow, just like a normal T rig! Big O www.ragetail.com Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted April 29, 2011 Super User Posted April 29, 2011 Just give me my ulralight and I'll likely get bit by something. Downsized cranks and jigs to start, then some tubes and grubs. Quote
Punkinseedfyretailz Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 mepps #'s 1-5 black fury's and comet mino's. shaky heads, yum dingers, and culprit firetails. spro aruku shad, and flukes Quote
GonzoFishing Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Wacky rigged trick worms in two sizes in case the fish are picky Quote
Chris Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 If it was me I would add: lighter spinnerbait lighter jig add indianna and colo blades sweetbeaver for a different fall paddletail worm for pitching and swimming (or jig trailer for swimming) also works well for dropshot cranks Quote
