BassMan11 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share 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!

Victor Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Another vote for mepps spinners (Aglias/blackfurys) ... and maybe some spinnerbaits also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sully Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunkerbasshunter Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share 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!

BassMan11 Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share 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.
