My first trip to the island, I packed WAY more stuff than I needed. Since then, I get away with a much more specialized, smaller pile of gear. When I am out and about, I only bring my single row Skinz bag with 2 plugs per tube and one large plug in the side. Maybe a few slug-go's in the flap if I feel so inclined. My philosophy is to pack exactly what I think I will need, and fish those plugs completely. I really believe that if you limit the plugs you bring out on a given night, but cover the bases, your success will be greater. It makes me fish the limited supply of plugs more thoroughly through the water to be sure that there are not any fish around if I am not catching. As far as colors, I base that on the current moon / weather stage. Sure there have been nights wher I wished I had brought some certain random plug, but that experience has occurred less and less often as I have truly stuck to the plan over the years. Sure there is the yellow/red plugs on Cutty and neon green on Block theories, but I have never personally caught on either of those colors on either island. I simply stick to what I know and make the island adapt to me.
