I have several most are not used. I take two with me and leave one in the truck with a load of plano boxes.

After RISSA I see the ultimate backup bag I want for the vehicle...the jumbo Aquaskins, I can load that and be done-with-it. If I want to carry it on the beach however, I will need to hire a caddy, as it is a monster bag.

I have several bags (5 or 6) that are relatively small, and as you have done, have them set up for very specific spots. There is a lot of gear/plugs that go into the back of the Jeep as well.
A small Surfcaster five tube always on my belt - 3 Bombers, last two slots rotate and pretied leaders.

The other small or tall smallish bags are set up for various spots ie: Inlet bag, Back Bay bag, Night Beach bag, Dawn Bag (That one might even get a Jersey Death Machine... Just Kidding - a SS Sinking Littleneck)

I used to carry larger bags, but as my collection of plugs and jigs grew along with my logs and knowledge of my local spots, I found it much easier to use small bags and stop lugging around things that were not getting used at a particular spot.


DJ - How are you?

Ed M'man,
What is up?
I am fine getting primed for the new season. I have high expectations. Esp. when you take me to all your secret bassholds!

Now what does that Jersey Death Machine commet mean??


One thing I was thinking about but neglected to say is that sometimes when heading out and feeling insecure (no idea what to use or what color) I will sometimes throw an extra AS 3-tray on the belt with "just in case" plugs & colors. I have been victimized to torturous levels when those around me where banging on a particular color and of course it was the color I did not carry that night.

Just checking to see if you were reading these things

I agree with the last comment 100%. Thats why I have that small 5 tube Surfcaster bag on my belt all the time, emergency backup.
I get the feeling that I am more concerned with profile than color, so my emergency stuff will take that into consideration. IE: different size darter or needle then or swimmer than would be my first goto.
DJ See you soon.
Ed
