This is what works for me in my area. I can catch pan fish all day with this tackle. With the setup I use i can catch many fish without using live bait. Once they stop hitting that's when I use live bait. I also use ice jigs that I failed to mention. 4 pound test mono, ultra lite spinning reel and very small lite weight tackle is the key to catching crappie, bluegill, perch, white bass, rock bass any pan fish  |

i have a soft sided tackle box with 3 of the plano trays inside too lol, one is set up for freshwater river and lake, one is set up for esturine fishing and the third is set up for saltwater rock and pier fishing, i also bought a 4th tray to hold all my hard plastic lures
i love having things seperate like that and it means i can remove 2 of the trays depending on where i am fishing, and taking out the saltwater box takes a heck of a lot of weight as it has the largest of the sinkers

I never carry lots of sinkers so my tackle box is fairly light. I would love to live close to the ocean so I could fish both fresh and salt water....thanks for posting |

Refreshing video in regards to an actual tackle box as opposed to fishing kits. ;D You do have a lot going on in there and I don't think the fish will have a fighting chance. I have a Plano softside also with three locktite containers, and two end and side pockets. On the inside of the cover I have my license in a ziploc pinned in place with two safety pins. The two end pockets carry my water. The two side pockets get used for a bandana and my eats for the day. Of course I have very little artificial bait, prefer live bait, always have. Mine consists mostly of various sized hooks, bobbers, weights, and fishing line. Other spaces are used for first aid items, sunscreen, various knives, fire kit, purell, a few tools etc. The reason being once I'm settled in a spot to fish I don't like going back to get anythng. And no it doesn't weigh a ton.  |

And no it doesn't weigh a ton. i do use a lot of stinky bait for esturine fishing, mainly prawn, pippies (small sand clams) and sand worm / rag worm. for sea fishing i use whitebait and bluefish, also sometimes i will use squid pieces, the plastics are used as backup for the stinky stuff, i usually have 1 rod with fresh bait and one rod with some kind of plastic lure depending on the circumstances. btw my tackle bag sounds just like yours with plenty of pockets for other necessities like food and smokes lol |

I would love to live close to the ocean so I could fish both fresh and salt water....thanks for posting yeah sea stuff needs to be heavy, mainly for long distance casting, fighting the onshore breezes and getting out past the breakers when beach casting although one of my friends is looking to make a compressed air bait launcher cannon for me for beach casting, you freeze a plug of bait with the hook attached then fire the solid iceblock from the cannon, the bait unfreezes in the water, some of the ones i have seen can get 500m with a favourable wind |

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe we need to modify a catapult of some sort to do it for us. Freshwater casting is one thing, but I've done the saltwater casting off Montauk Point and found it to be quite another level of casting.

And no it doesn't weigh a ton. A nicely stocked tackle box is only half the battle when it comes to catching fish. Knowing the habits of your intended pray is most important. Fish are no different then land animals, they have escape routs, they have feeding grounds and will follow the food source. They also have a home range and take advantage of whatever food source is available. Fish also seek out the most comfortable temperature for that species. Fish also have seasonal patterns and daily patterns that are well worth learning. When I fish close to my car i only take what is needed. When I go for the long haul i put my tackle in a backpack with all my usual camping and survival gear and go for the day. I was going to go fishing today but the weather turned bad and were getting rain and some freezing on the ground. Looks like this whole week and the coming weekend is shot down for fishing  |
