Location: Perryville, MO | The Cowgirl thread got me thinking...just like it was said, most of us use the same "go to" or confidence baits 90% of the time. Tackle boxes full nonetheless, we throw the same bait again and again. Time of year, conditions, body of water, surely come into play. But still we turn to our confidence bait. What five baits could you not live without? All your tackle gets burned up in a fire and you only have $100 dollars to replace baits (God forbid that to ever happen to any one of us). What are you buying? |

I could pretty much fish with those 6 baits and it would cover 90% of my fishing. Might need a few colors depending on where I was, but I could get by with what's listed above.

Location: Perryville, MO | I should have posted my own...
DC10 - lemonhead
Spinnerbait (simms, grim reaper, or nutbuster...still kinda undecided)- white
Mag Dawg - black/orange
10" weighted Suick - black
Baby Shallowraider - white
BTW I suspect that having tons of lures isn't as bad an occurence as guys sometimes make it sound...I'm thinking that's where the learning curve is developed for one's top five...after you develop what really works, you may look back and question "why do I have all these that I don't use?", but it's precisely how you learned which one's are most effective in your situation for how you fish them...isn't that how and why the "buy/trade forum" works?...guys aren't getting rid of just junky lures...but lures that no longer fit their top tier... so feel free to sell me the one's you're not using  lol.
Anyway, the lists are helpful for me as the learning curve remains steep...thanks. |
