I'm with you there. My tackle box weighs in at a slim 25 lbs. that being said we all know the propensity for crappie to hit one color better than another. Back in the day they made a Color-Se-lector to help pick what color to use at what depth. Didn't really produce a lot of fish for me but it did explain why certain colors worked better at night. I used to fish white bass at night in clear water. We found that at dark you changed white and chartreuse out for grey, black, red and orange. All colors that are hard to detect in deep water yet contrasts well at night. That was in the mid-eighties. Would love to wish that same water with some of the new paddletail baits I use now.
All that being said I still never go fishing without a handful of electric chicken.
