BassMan11 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 So basically my truck tailgate wasn't locked down so it opened and i lost everything. Since i have to re-stock... any lures that are a must have? Mainly for bass and pike but i will take into consideration just about anything. I have a lot of the common ones written down (jitterbug , spook, fat wrap, crankbaits) just seeing what some of you guys killem' on. Thanks Cheers Mac
BillM Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 I like the Zara Spook Jr's for both bass and pike, don't forget some spinnerbaits while you're at it The Spook Jr's have internal rattles, one thing the normal size lacks.
HTHM Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 I don't know what did you usually TROLL with? If my box was lost, I could replace it from memory. If y0ou want to ask what my go-to lure is, I would say red devil spoon for pike, and jerk baits for most other species. Good luck on the water!
danbo Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Gulp Minnows, jigs, floating jigs,wacky worm.Pop-R,SPRO frog,musky buck,panther martin,roadrunners,rattleTrap, Bomber Long A, ripplin redfin, storm minnow in perch,big Zara Spook,pumpkin tubes,1/3 0z lil' cleo, excalibur minnow in gold,jointed rapala,moss boss spoon,...then there's the secret stuff!!!
sharper Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Jointed rapalas, mepps black fury, red devil, 5 of diamonds, black and white grubs and gulp alive minnows.
kennyman Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Mepps for almost anything, Rapala jointed shad raps (JSR9 in silver or perch), Husky jerks, bucktails, Cordell Ripllin Redfins for sure and Storm chug bugs for topwater fun.
Victor Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Another vote for mepps spinners (Aglias/blackfurys) ... and maybe some spinnerbaits also
sully Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Bassman11 You know.... I have a huge tackle box and in it I keep 3 spare reels so typically my tackle box is worth alot of coin if I were to loose it. Maybe contact your insurance people and see what they say...who knows they might be sympathetic Depends on your deductable though... just a thought good luck
Reef Runner Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 SPINNERBAITS and release tools. 'nuff said.
Entropy Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 When and where do you think it dropped off? Entropy
Stoty Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Topwater - CHUG BUGS and lots of them! Spinnerbaits for sure X-raps for sure Senko-type worms for sure, along with 3/0 worm hooks Tubes
MCTFisher9120 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) Here is what i would do- 4 cranks(2 deep 2 shallow) 4 jerkbaits(2 deep 2 shallow) 2 jointed jerkbaits(1 deep 1 shallow) 2 Topwater 2 spinnerbaits(1 white, 1 chartruse) 2 small spinners(1 silver and 1 silver/blue) 2 spoons(1 silver, 1 gold) Softplastic stickbaits, tubes, grubs. Wide belly hooks, dropshot hooks, various sinkers, snaps. Line As for colour go half and half between settle baitfish colors and brighter colors for dirty of murky water.

BabyHerc Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) He didn't lose his box. Just wants to know go-to lures without actually asking. Everyone here could replace their box from memory if need be. 1/2 oz spinnerbaits and 6 inch plastic worms. Edited June 11, 2008 by BabyHerc

BassMan11 Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Posted June 12, 2008 No i really lost it. it fell out of the back of my truck....... the tailgate fell down and i lost everything. One of the worst feelings in my 22 year old life. It seems the mepps get a lot of talk. Never really used a lot but all good ideas. Thanks guys. thse ideas are great.
Rich Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 3 inch grubs and jigheads, get a lot of different colors. Good to use everywhere for just about anything!
lunkerbasshunter Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 dude if i lost my tackle box i would totally call the amber alert people and have everyone in the country hearing the description, colour, what was in it. maybe do some radio ads, definatly some tv. 680 news would have a update every 10 minutes on the 1's on the description. put up posters on telephone poles around marinas, boat launches, on the 401. take out ads on OFC, start a have you seen this tackle box campaign all over the internet, maybe print ads on the back of big rigs! have border patrol doing spot checks. holy cow i woud be freakin lost without my tackle box lol just kidding, hope you didnt have to much invested in your box? i know i have at least $700 in mine so i would be super p----- Cheers!
BabyHerc Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Cant go wrong with a canadian wiggler Oh yes you can... LOL
BassMan11 Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) well right now i have 400 invested in the new one... and it keeps growing. If it was anything else but fishing gear it would bother me, but i feel incomplete without it so its worth it. Edited June 14, 2008 by BassMan11
