Nice selection!
I gave away all my terminal tackle (Bass, Pike, Musky & Walleye gear) many years ago to a good friend. But I can post up my Trout/Salmon gear when I get home, :mrgreen:

Very nice Diggyj! Are those countdowns on the right hand side of the box?

Riverninja, I'll be looking forward to that

One evening last year, while fishing a shallow bay from shore, I had an outrageous top water frog bite. In 2-3 hours I musta had about 15 pike and 30 smallies. It was awesome! When I came home that night, I was wondering if it was the pattern of the frog? Or just the topwater action of the frog? I know at that time frogs were all over the banks, so I knew it was a main forage at the time.

Anyhow, I got home and as I was pondering this, I decided to grab a Cotton Cordell crank, a 4-6 ft diver. I painted it up in sort of a from pattern, and returned to the same spot the next evening. Turns out, I caught the heck outta them on the crank too!

Then I threw some texas rigged crawfish, then some grubs, a few swimbaits, and I was still catching.

So here I thought I was on to something, turns out for those two nights, they were smashing everything, lol.

Here is the crank...

Now that there, is quite the arsenal, inluding the baby bottles and red sippy cups in the frst picture.

Two items stand out for me, pink and white YUM grubs and gulp leeches, I love drop shotting the leeches. Great selection you have.

I too will post some pictures soon.

lol@the bottles, I didn't even notice that until you mentioned it :blink:

During the winter, my tackle boxes are usually in the kitchen, where they get organized, added to, re-organized etc, lol. Helps pass the winter months.

I love drop shotting leeches too. I just started drop shotting walleye last year, lotsa fun!

Nice Mike! Lotat good selection in there for sure

How do you like those money minnows? I like those and the shadalicious one too, but the money minnow will take a little more abuse.

Are those the adjustable weight Mustad hooks? I love those things

actually havent used the money minnows yet... i got em for spring pike fishing... i stalked up on several baits last year after trying spring pike for the first time and boating 16 in an afternoon... now im hooked...

and yes...those are to adjustable weight hooks... but again... havent used em yet... baught em just for the money minnows...

 

[float^drifter]

Your gonna love those money minnows as much as the pike that eat them! When you rig them on those weighted hooks, it keeps the swimbaits from rolling over like traditional wide gap hooks. I usually dont tinker with the weight too much, I leave it up towards the eye of the hook so I can swim the bait, pause and let it swim down, before raising it and swimming it again. Works deadly.

This is my second year targeting ice out/spring pike. It's a ton of fun.

I got some new baits to try this year as well. Makes sense to stock up in the winter/spring, when the good sales go on

In post #11 pic #6 the black ?crankbait? with the little spoon on the end looks deadly. I bet the flutter of that little thing helps you get the strike with picky pike.
