With our fall crappie season not too far out, I've been working on a little project. I've been putting together a lightweight, compact tackle box that I could take with me on hiking trips, when a willow branch, inner strand from 550 cord, and the contents of the box are all I need to catch a crappie or sunfish. I wanted to share the box with you all. Hoping to get some suggestions about it too. Here it is:
1. The box: a little Altoids tin-sized organizer with a removable, six-pocket tray (it was a dollar, so I'll keep using it until it breaks or something...).
2. Tube baits: I've always had good luck with these for crappie and bluegills.
3. Curlytail grubs: these little grubs, 1.5" or 2", will catch bass, catfish, and other larger freshwater fish.
4. Marabou jig: nice for most gamefish, whether large or small.
5. Trout magnets: little trout lures work good for small fish like sunnies, perch, and crappie, and obviously trout.
6. Terminal tackle: a variety of #4, 6, and 8 hooks (about a dozen in all) and some split-shots.
