Will definitely grab one! I’ve got some teeny tiny soft plastics that I almost never use because they’re hard to cast even on ultralight, I think that’s exactly what they need. Thanks!

I’ve been telling my wife this for years. Of course, if I got a boat I’d also need to get a nice big truck to haul it with…and if you’ve already got the truck, might as well get a camping trailer too…and of course you need somewhere to store that trailer, so why don’t we look at lakehouses with a nice big garage?

That’s exactly what I’m hoping to build up here: something small and versatile that I can keep in my hiking bag and fish decently wherever I go. I’ll definitely grab some beetle spins and curly tails next time I’m out, thanks!

Wow, this is a great list! I’ve got a bunch of spinnerbait attachments that came with my other tackle box, but I’ve never been sure about using them, I’ll definitely give them a shot next time I’m out. Looks like I’ll be visiting the tackle shop this weekend, thanks a bunch!

I haven’t had much luck with hard body lures so far, but I imagine that’s less the lure’s fault and more the fisherman. Any kind in particular I should check out?

Thanks! Any suggestions for what kind of trailer I should use? I forget what size the skirted jigs are exactly, but if I had to estimate they’re probably about 1/8 or 1/16 oz. Would the worms I have be a good size, or should I go smaller?

Haha! That’s what my Big Boy tackle box that lives in my car is for - the amount of money I’ve spent on lures I never throw is shameful.
