I already included some feather jigs, a couple meps spinners, a couple bass jigs, some bass plugs, a kastmaster, a krokodile, some small aberdeen hooks, split shots and slip floats, some crappie nibbles (of course!) and some berkley gulp earthworms... is there anything im forgetting??

ROADRUNNERS !! (solid chartreuse marabou - 1/16oz)

You might also want to consider adding :
Whirly Bee (Junebug/chartreuse tail)
A dozen weedless jigheads in 1/16oz
A couple pkg's of SouthernPro Solid Body 1.75" tubes (green/char)
1/32oz Beetle Spin (blk/yellow stripe - green/blk stripe)
Couple of small floating Rapala's (blk back/slvr side/white belly)

Hmm, the only thing I can think of would be a stringer for when you catch some. and maybe a trash bag or something to keep them from leaking all over your car.

I can't find any chartreuse roadrunners in the stores around here.. the only ones I have seen around here are the white ones and they are almost 3 bucks each... I also checked ebay and couldn't find any. What is a good site to order road runners from. I already had 2 beetle spins in the kit and some spare bodies I just forgot to mention them.
