If I took "everything" I own for Crappie fishing ... just in baits & stuff, not counting rods/reels ... I couldn't take a partner (let alone their gear). Not to mention that I'd have to have a bigger boat

What I usually take is three long rods and two casting rods ... with the accompanying tackle suited to use with those rods. All that tackle is contained in one of those "push along travel luggage" deals, with the exception of a Plano box that carries my "jig & crank pushing weights". The "luggage tacklebox" weighs 20lbs and the Plano box of trolling weights weighs in at 10lbs.

Do I always "use" all that ..... uh, no. But, I've got it if I need it.
