It's definitely something that I have been wrestling with this past season ... as I always come prepared for anything and pretty much only use a few plugs or lures. When I fished the larger boat, I pretty much had six to 10 outfits rigged for a different scenario and used all of them on most trips.
Today, now occassionally running in a small boat, and fishing the surf on foot, I am carrying a lot less, and try to carry few - only what I will need. I'm still in the transition phase, but working on honing it.
As for plugs at the home base, there are many that don't get used, but that does not mean I won't use them at one point or another.
"It was the blackest night! There was no moon in sight! (You know the stars ain't shinnin cause the sky's too tight) "
I'm always tellin folks I only carry 3-4 types of lures for the surf and jetties.
Everytime I open my bag I remember what a liar I've become.
Maybe "3-4 types," but each "type" comes in an assortment of sizes, colors, and sometimes the variety of "dressings."
