Jitterbugs
So much fun. A bait that has truly withstood the rest of time. If you love Jitterbugs, you'd probably love crawlers. My favorite is the Jackall Pompadour Jr. And I also like the Micro Dodge.

What is the most expensive lure you've lost?
No lure retrieving gear? I thought guys that fished lures that expensive had enough retrieval gear to raise the Titanic!

Terminal Tackle Wallets, What's my options?
They still get stored in their original package. It's just cut down to fit into the sleeve. Most packages fit with no trimming. Just ones with unusually large cards need trimming. Here's a link with further photos and dimension

Underspin idea.
Sure, why not? I'd also add a tiny stopper to keep the swivel exactly where I want it on the hook if it's going to interfere with anything. Or try a Zappu twin blade. Comes in multiple styles, colors.

Soft Plastic Stowaway 3600
Oh! What had you pictured?

Soft Plastic Stowaway 3600
Ok. My main sling bag will hold 4 of these bags. On the inside of the sling I have my Ryugi wallets, my Daiwa Sokkou, my Rapid Hook All and a spool of leader. And a few silica gel packets. Outside, I have the usual fishingl tools and a towel. I have mesh and plastic style bags and I go back and forth trying to decide my preferred. I store them ready to go in a simple box. I label them for ease of finding them both here and in my sling. You'll need a mesh or poly bag, a small poly bag, a couple of silica packs and baits!! I have a list of personal "all star" baits I use and I'll also bring along a new bait or two to try in each bag. Many of the baits I use are multi rig for various technique. I'm confident that if I can't catch fish with the items I've brought along..the fish won't be caught at all. Below is my Free Rig bag. First, your specific terminal and hooks go in the small bag. This is so you can find your terminal by feel. It's easily found without looking. And it adds another layer to better protect from hook points and to keep things organized. All other baits fit into the large bag and that bag goes into the sling. Now when I need something, I swing the sling bag around and peer into the bag and read the labels. Free Rig, Drop Shot, Neko, Swimbait, etc etc Then I open that bag, grab what I need. It's extremely fast, convenient and easy. All in all, I end up carrying a dozen or so different baits in 4 technique bags and enough terminal to rig most any way required. All in a small, light pack.

gear that surprised you......
That's how I feel about my Piscifun Carbon X II. Extremely lightweight, excellent drag, and no issues of any kind ever. My "favorite" reel is surely my Vanford but if I could only fish the Piscifun, I'd have no complaints at all.

I can tell you what I do for my "quick grab" set ups. I use these for both land or boat fishing. I have technique or bait specific mesh (or clear) bags. Inside, I have a selection of my "go to" baits in their original packaging and a packet or two of the most commonly used hooks/weights/terminal for that application. Each bag is labeled: Free Rig, Drop Shot, Neko, etc All I do is grab and go into my sling and restock as needed. My sling will hold 4 of these grab and go bags, in addition to my 2 Ryugi wallets I can provide photos to paint a better picture if required.

Perhaps wait until the order is delivered to see if there are really any extra charges. The transaction isn't complete yet.
