This is the group of baits I carry for the entire open water season 'out of the big box' in a small portable. I vary colors, sizes, and brands a bit, but the kit pretty much stays the same as far as lure type. What kit do you carry?

What lure is that right above the Jackpot?

Mine usually consist of a Suick, Bulldawg, Magic Maker, Phantom, Shallow Invader, Jackpot, and Deuce Tail

I use a 2 and 1/2 gal. bucket, glue a strip of foam inside and put the following lures in:

Topraider
Shallow Invader
2 sizes of Buchertails/2 each
Large suick
2 sizes of Jakes/Grandma
Dancing Shad
Squirrely Burt
Musky Hawk
Tandem Spin
Depth Raider
2 sizes of Bobbie Baits
Salmo
2 jigs and shad body
2 sizes of Believers/Swim Wizz

I do change this around some when I get a chance to leave the front and get to my large boxes. Time of year, clarity of water, etc. causes changes also.

You guys are much more organized than me. By the end of June I think half of my tacklebox joins me on the front deck of my boat. I have baits hung all around me (none on the floor though), probably numbers around 30 baits of all types hanging on the side in my carpet.

By mid July I still have the same number of baits around the sides of my boat, only it seems they have grown in size. The six inch baits turn into 8 inchers and sometimes 10's, and the smaller ones have found their way back in the box.

Fall is the only time the deck remains somewhat uncluttered, a few big cranks, jerks and gliders. By then the hair and topwater have found there way back into the cave for hibernation.

Any lure I have intentions of fishing (confidence in the bait) is in the boat at all times. Lures I very rarely fish or never fish sit at home. Here are the key lures I use almost everytime on the water though.

Cisco Kid (usually perch)
Depth Raider
Ernie
8" & 10" Jakes
Triple D
Bagley DB06 & DB08
Shallow Invader
Jointed Shallow Raider (usually perch)
Bulldawg
Perch Undertaker
Mepps Musky Killer
Eagle Tail
Jackpot

It's not hard to tell I like crankbaits is it! However, with the list I have I can fish anything from right on shore to the deepest of water effectively.

Mike, The lure you questioned is a Snodlow. It is a copy of the old Heddon Vamp Flaptail. I modified it with a stinger and a different tail and hanger. Now it's a 'Turd'.

oh man i'm feeling quite creative right now. I have a wine box that I got from a liquor store. I took out all the attachments and duct taped them so it would be stronger, and then pieced it back together. Then i duct taped the inside and out side, which made it waterproof. It worked well all year, except when i bought too many lures. I will need to make two more this year but that beats buying a regular one for around $75. I'm retiring last years box because the inside attachments are getting alittle flimsy. I carry around about 60 lures everywhere i go(all of my lures)

I imagine some of the guys, that fish with me, would be snickering because I have a notorious habit of jamming a Krap load of baits in a box. But to tell you the truth the baits that I would typically rotate during the day would be as follows:

Mepps Killers and Magnums
9" weighted Suicks/Bobbies
Pearson's Grinders
Phantoms
Undertakers
Shallow Raider & Depth Raiders
Cisco Kids
8" and 10" Jakes
Triple D
TopRaider


If I can't catch fish on these I may as well go home.

catch ya later,
Krappie
