Tackle you do not use but bring anyway??

[liquidsoap]

I just realized something in light of the post your tackle topic, I brought a box to every tournament I fished and did not use it once!  Do you have a box that you bring to your day at the lake but you "usually" dont use?? And why??

Mine is lizards and flukes.  Usually carolina rigged a brush hog, and used senkos over flukes.  No clue why I bring them I just do.

Yep,it's true I only use about 2% of the tackle I have stored in my boat on each outing.As far as the box I hardly ever open is swimbaits.I just can't get confidence in em',yet.

[Bream Master]

I have these huge super-sized senko knock-offs that I carry. Got 'em off e-bay and the body is too big, even for a size 5 EWG gammy hook.

[Guest the_muddy_man]

This is the tackle I take every time I go fishing but i never use to fish:

Im not sure if this is my tackle or tight end!!!!!!!!1

[The_Natural]

I usually take one of my bags with me on a tournament, and each bag holds about 7 or 8 3700's plus worm binders.  I use maybe 2% on average, but fishing as a non-boater; I need to be prepared to fish anything and everything!

[T-rig]

90% of the stuff i take with i dont use at all and i ask myself why do i carry all this stuff around?

Well, there's just some days when you wish you had that stuff with you especially when you left it at home!

[KU_Bassmaster.]

Spinnerbait box.

[Alpster]

CRANKBAITS...............but I'm really trying to master them, honest. Oh, I guess to learn them you have to use one every now & then, huh?

I bring everything I got. I honestly don't ever really know what I am gonna use for the day when I go fishing. I have a rough idea which is dictated by the conditions. But, if something changes, then I want to have all of my baits on hand so I could switch according to the condition change or the change in the bite. I would hate to be out on the water and not have all my stuff...I would feel unprepared.

Now things I rarely use...spinnerbaits. That's about it.

[HPBB]

I used to bring everything and my boat did not have enough space anymore. So I leaned down, Bringing a good verity of lure but not everything. And leaving things home that I know I will not use at the lake/River I will be fishing. Example: If I am going to Lake Erie to fish SM, I know its tube jigs 99.99% maybe a senko, spinnerbaits, or crankbait. but everything else stays home

In my tackle storage locker I have 5-3600 plano and 5 of the falcon boxes. But Last year I got one 3700 box I marked as my "GOTO BOX" and put the lures I use most of the time in that. I use that box 99% of the time. Its usually stays ondeck, then If I need any of the others I look for them

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

Nope.

I broke free a few years back.  90% of my tackle is in the basement, 10% is on the boat and is replaced as it is used.

I carry on the boat

1lb Ziplock of plastics

small terminal tackle pack

small jig box

small lure box (maybe 10 lures)

[dink]

I'm with Ronnie.  95% of my billed crankbaits are still in mint condition ;D ;D.I take them with me because they look pretty in the sun.  ;D ;D ;D

[roadwarrior]

My main tackle fetish is jerkbaits. I have a box of LC only (128, 100, 78 & Stacey); one box of Smithwick Rogues and a box containing Rapala Husky Jerks and X-Raps. Some of these lures are 7-8 years old. I think I may have used four or five, but the rest are brand new. I'm headed over to the BPS Spring Clasic today...I'm hoping they have a few Slender Pointers on sale...The Bait Monkey told me I need to start building a box of them.

**update**

Pointers are on sale for $11, the Slender Pointers are not included.

[Brad_Coovert]

I used to have too much tackle for the boat.  Now I have paired down quite a bit of it and take my entire selection with me.  Thus, I am prepared for everything.  Over the coures of the year, I will use each class of bait a few times.

Feel free to bring those on the 3rd,Dink.I'll take care of them for ya! ;D

[timmyswetarded]

cranks and spinnerbaits

[Guest avid]

I used to take way too much tackle with me.

But now I just wait for it to fall overboard.  :'(

[SneakySnook]

Jigs and trailers. I don't know why because I have no clue what I'm doing with them. I've tried but never caught anything with them.

[CrazedL.IFisherman]

I take one bag loaded with about 8 plano 3700's full of all hard baits, and then a big tub with all my soft baits in various zip lock bags, but to finally answer the question  ;D, id day 75-80 % of my stuff is not touched per each outing, but i always bring it all for the "just in case" factor

Avid, glad to see that you are not bitter about the loss of your Rod.  

[Bassn Blvd]

Avid,  You are a true CHAMPION.

[hi_steel_basser]

I still bring all my tackle with me. I use all of it every trip. A jonboat is very lightweight, and that tackle helps me to fight the wind.   ;D As to what I throw in the water, 10% would be generous.

[bassboy1]

As a 13 yr. old, I don't have that much tackle.  But, I have enough.  I have 3 360 boxes in a container with a huge top compartment.  It is full of plastics. (I went on a buying spree)  Because I am 13, my dad has to take me.  But unfortunately, his tight schedule doesn't allow me to go that much.  Once a month if I am REEL lucky.  Once every 2 1/2 is more like it.  So, to make best of my time, I usually just use a T-rigged senko or 3x lizard.  Yet I still carry those stupid cranks and jigs, even though I cannot catch anything on them, and the spinners/buzzers even though they only get used in the summer and fall.

[Bluecraw]

Rooster tails!!!  I absolutely never use them, but they're in my tackle bag.  I guess I carry them because my son likes to use them on ponds.  But even when he's not with me I have them....jeez, I need therapy....

[FishTank]

Spinnerbaits and Jigs for me.

I don't know why but over the past few years I haven't used these baits that often.  I have been using crankbaits and a lot of soft plastic.
