What should I add to my tackle box?


I’ve been slowly building up my tackle box, so I don’t get overwhelmed with too many lures. And it’s gone pretty well up until today when I had to fish really dirty water and didn’t have good options.

Now I’m wondering if i should just go and get some different lures to be prepared for anything. What would you add? It’s almost winter here and I have no idea what I should be throwing.

    Put the weights and jig heads in the other box and quit worrying about how to spend more money.

    i’d throw in some jig heads and soft plastics to match. super versatile and easy to adjust weight depending on depth

    You should keep plastic lures in the bags they came in. Many a tackle box has been ruined by the plastic of the box bonding and melting to the plastic of the lures. It ends up in a big, sticky mess. Not to mention if they are scented at all keeping them in the bag keep them fresher.

    One thing I see so many people missing that makes a huge difference: lure marker. I always keep a chartreuse and red lure marker in my tacklebox to give little highlights to lures. A spot of red or a chart tipped tail can make a huge difference.

    Top water popping frog, football jig, swim jig, crawl soft plastics, Lipless crank bait, Ned rigs. Shakey head, drop shot 👍

    I’d go for some more finesse rigs. Carolina, Texas and maybe Free Rig. All you need for that are some bullet weights and glass pearls in addition to what you already have. The weights for Free Rig are a little different. It’s basically a Texas Rig…
    I’d also go for some creature baits aswell. They work really well with finesse rigs. (For example OSP dolive shrimp)
    These rigs also work quite well in winter because you can play them slowly. Fish are a little slower in winter.

    I say add something shiny/ loud like a beetleapin, rooster tail or chatterbait
