What's In Your Tackle Box?

[Johnny wilkins]

I thought it would be fun if we got a look into people's tackle boxes - what is in your wallet? (tackle box). Like BBG Cribs - if you are into it - post a shot of your tackle box.

(This goes along with my Spring tackle box cleaning exercise..)

I will take a shot of mine next week - post cleaning...

Maybe one shot of the overall tackle box and one of the "GO TO" section.

What is your GO TO stuff? Does this sound good?

[David, aka, "McScruff"]

Here is the bag I use. Its a backpack my nephew gave me; he's in the National Guard and it is one of theirs. Nice and rugged. I call it my 'possibles bag,' after the name the old Mountain Men gave their knapsacks.

And like the old Mountain Men, I have about everything I need in the bag. Now, Johnny, I love live bait fishing. But I like other fishing, too. Here in South Carolina, we have the Big Three:

Bass - largemouth and smallies

Pan fish - Bream, crappie and perch

Catfish - Bullheads, too

So I have something for everybody inside the bag - - -

Inside these boxes are jigs, tubes, spoons, Beetle Spins, topwaters, crankbaits, bottom rigs and so on. You'll be pleased to know the third one down is nothing but small live bait stuff - floats, shot, hooks, swivels and all the stuff for delicate fishing.

Im a panfisherman at heart, so this is the box I go to most.

But Im opening up my vista's this season, and have given myself a lot of options. I also have a catfishing box, which I see as a somewhat separate science altogether.

What isn't shown in the bag are several spools of line, rope, knives, matches, sunglasses... all the other stuff one learns to carry along the river bank. Along with this I wear a fishing vest where I keep  my "user" tools like clippers, pliers, whistle, signal mirror, note pad and sundry other things.
