emoEek emoEek emoEek ....Yea for your top water baits!! I bet you bought more than that just this week! emoUpsmile </p>
 
I take a lot but it is a bunch of the same things. For example I will take 200-300 tubes with lead heads with me and end up breaking off about 20 per trip in the spring. By summer I am almost out. Plus if I take someone we burn through them quick. I will usually take only what I plan to use. When I fish the lake I take certain stuff and when I fish the river I take different stuff. Catfishing I have onePlano box. </p>

Bottom line, it is not me.</p>

I carry a tackle wallet and a couple of rods during the spring live bait bass bite but the rest of the year I carry 2 crappie boxes and a catfish box unless I am bass fishing or something
 
I carry very little tackle. I dont have an amount, but I'd say about 5 BPS boxes is it, along with a bag full of plastics and one spinnerbait box.
 
When on the boat I have quite a bit, but when I wade creeks/small rivers I carry just a handful: some senkos, lizards, ribbit frogs, and either a small spinnerbait or a shallow diving crankbait. I like having access to just a few lures. Really makes you focus on perfect presentation.
 
well I am the type that dose not want to come up short' and not have what I need
when I get there and the fish are eating something i did not bring. to me there is nothing more discouraging
then to be on the water and see that fish are biting something I left at home emoBang .
so I'm going to have pretty much a loaded tackle box

better to have and not need, then to need and not have. emoBigsmile
 
I carry all the tackle I own. About 6 good spinner baits,2 deep cranks,1 trap (found it), 1 jerk bait, about 6 small cranks I have found, several spoons, various plastics, crappie jigs, and maybe few other things in there I forget about. 1 been pretty broke since I took up fishing, 2 wouldn't know what to throw even if I had the entire tackle store with me.
 
<font size="2">I have an entire room at my home dedicated to tackle and my boat is a floating store. My theory is if the fisheat it, buy a dozen.(<font color="#990000">of that color</font>)</font>
 
I just carry one little ice chest and one tackle box when I go with someone else.....problem is the one box is about the size of a large suitcase. emoLaugh Jmax
 
I carry 4 boxes cranks about 40 per box, super deep dd22 etc, deep 10-20ft, med 6-12ft, and one shallow box, 1-6ft.
1 box of top water
1 box of jerk baits about 40
1 box of rattle trap type baits about 50
1 spinerbait wallet about 40 spinner baits, plus I also carry skirt making material and variety of blades in another bag
1 buzz bait box about 30

Then I ussually have 4 softside bags, about the size of a small diaper bag, 1 worms and lizzards, 1 tubes and grubs, 1 soft swim baits, 1 of misc trailers, plastic pork, crawdads etc

1 box of skirted jigs about 100 in that box, 1 box of jig / tube heads about 100, 1 box of bullet weights, Carolina rig stuff, and other misc rigging

all the above is when in the boat , from shore I carry one small box, with a few jigs, tubes, a few crankbaits , few inline spinners, and a few rattle traps
Im sure Im forgetting something ?
 
I am trying to have less and less in my boat (when I have it home and running) emoBigsmile and I have more in boxes in my basement than I ever have in the boat. I'm gonna have a big giveaway one of these days and get rid of stuff that I never fish with. I take some guys who look like that have been evicted from home by their better halves. emoBigsmile Guys, when we crappie fish, you don't need over about 3 or 4 different plastics and some 1/32 and 1/16 oz jigs. Two rods will do just in case you break one. emoUpsmile

I am my own worst enemy when it comes to having stuff in the boat that I don't need. I don't need 4 pairs of winter gloves. I don't need the 3 pair of sunglasses that is in there either. I don't need the 3 or 4 rods that I usually carry. I have 4 pliers and various other miscellanous stuff that seldom if ever gets used.
