    Default How much gear do you have and carry?


    I fish bank and boat...I have lengths marked in permanent silver on my poles, so I don't have to carry a tape/etc...on my poles I have 9.5" (legal crappie is 9") , 12.5" (legal Bass is 12"), 15.5" (legal Walleye is 15), and 18" (my biggest Crappie), 23" (my biggest Bass), 30" (my largest Walleye).
    Everything else, stringers, multi-tool, etc, are in my cases....they both are in my car, with my 2 poles, and rain gear.
    The clear case is for Crappie...that is all I ever use, nothing else.
    The double sided blue case is for Walleye and Bass.
    I only have one box in the basement with extra baits, hooks, and nibblets....and 3 spare pools and reels.
    Once upon a time I had suitcase tackle boxes full, a whole room in my basement was full of fishing stuff, I had 20 some rods and reels ....now I have it narrowed down to what I really need....it's much easier to fish now!

    I have way more than what I need & continue to buy more. Every hatch on the boat is full of something.

    When your crappie fishing, how much if any time do you spend vertical jigging ?

    It depends on what I'm doing. I fish for a variety of species with a variety of tackle.

    There is something to be said, though, for simplifying your tackle.

    ZERO....I'll bottom bounce, stop and go, or let it die & twitch it through the water column, but I'm always casting and retrieving...If needed, I can rig weedless for heavy cover...and with the braid, it goes right through! Or I just pull free and straighten the sickle hooks.

    Hey, to me a BIG Crappie is just a Small Bass that tastes a whole lot better! I've found the secret though...they'll eat the exact same things, the same exact way!lol
