    Default Time for some new tackle


    Got paid today. So i have decided to pick up some new tackle for the box. I have need for jigs, spoons and spinnerbaits in my box. Any ideas of general kits that i could pick up at either Cabela's or Bass Pro Shop. Living in Nebraska so saltwater fishing is out.

    Try and find some 1/32 oz tattle tail jigs from Sunrise tackle Co., freaking deadly on crappie, perch, and bluegill, I may never use live bait again.

    1/32 and 1/16 jigs are always good. Stock up on tubes, curly tails, and minnows baits about 2" long. Best colors are black / chartreuse or chartreuse and pink.

    Aqua and chartreuse or white and chartreuse will also work anywhere.

    A color combo you don't see much but I have been slaughtering them on is a pink head jig with a pink body 1/32oz, 1-1/2" long. But good luck finding one.

    That is exactly why I started making my own over 50 years ago. Never could find what I wanted or what the fish were biting.

    X2 That is the very reason I also just recently started making my own.

    I picked up a kit for about $12.

    4 different kinds of jigs: tubes, minnows, curly tails, and something that looks like the curly tail, but its actually split, think I'm gonna call em split-tails)
    6 different colors where the tubes are red/purple/blue and white, black/red/yellow and chartuese. While the minnows are sparkling green and pink, white/red/pink/orange and yellow. Lots of assorted colors.
