My say'n is you ain't gonna catch em unless your bait is wet. If you spend all your time changing baits you'll
not get much fishing done.`

This is what I take with dad and me. Plus our eight poles, minnow bucket, and Ego dip net. This bag carries everything we need: assortment of sinkers, jig heads, hooks, slip bobbers, beads, tube jigs, BG Baby Shad, Kalin's & Southern Pro grubs, hand tied hair jigs, GPS, extra batteries, digital scales, wrench, socket, ratchet, multitool, pliers, towel, and crappie nibbles(that we never use....not sure why I carry them.). No kitchen sink.

Four poles (two 12' jigging poles and two 7' casting poles) and three 3700 plano boxes with an assortment of grubs, jig heads, hair jigs, floats, swivels etc.

It's funny that this question came up. I was thinking about this the other day while fishing. I had two jigging poles set out in rods holders fishing deep over brush. The bite was pretty slow so I thought I would try different colors as the day went on to see if I could narrow down which color they liked best. I tried five different colors as the day went on and caught fish on every one of them. I couldn't tell as nickel's worth of difference in the way they bit one over the other. Now this was in clear water but it bares the question; how much difference does color really make? I know I've seen days where it did seem to matter some but I think presentation is much more important. What do you guys think?

I carry all my bait in one box. CK101 always say,"boy that a big box".

I just carry 2 boxes. A box similar to AgriHawgs, and a big honking gunbox.

The amount of tackle that I take never changes I have 4 3700's in my spiderwire tackle box and two wallets full of plastics. I fish with 4 poles maximum if I'm in my boat. 2 in the holders and one in each hand. If I'm fishing brushpiles, just one in each hand. I take my complete tackle box no matter where I am because you never know what might happen. Now most of the time I'll just keep out my 2 wallets with bodies in them and 1 plano with my assortment of heads. The box itself stays below in storage. This keeps my deck as clear as possible. I'm not a "neat freak" but I believe that everything has it's place. I can't stand clutter. When one of my buddies fishes with me I take care of everything so if something blows out, it's my fault. I break down all my rods and put rod covers on them and roll up dock lines and take down my rod holders. If you pass me on the interstate it looks like I just left the dealership with a new boat. I can't afford to lose something going down the road. I even have a pelican case that I keep both of my humminbird units in that stays in the backseat of my truck. Just the way I do things.
