if you bought a new tackle box what would you be putting in it..especially for this time of year.

blankets and jigs

Jigs jigs jigs and jerkbaits

Hand warmers. Make sure you got you some ribbon tail worms in there. I say that because when all else fails and I get frustrated I go back ol' ribbon tail and catch some fish. Its my confidence bait. Whatever you have the most confidence in, stock up on.

Jerkbaits

Water temps in the high 50's right now, pretty much a little bit of everything has to go in a box. If I had to pick there'd be some lipless baits, spinnerbaits, squarebills, jigs, wacky rigs, and jerkbaits. 

Jay, you need to get educated.

 

This means you need to subscribe to fishing magazines; join BASS and get Bassmasters Magazine; go to various pros' web sites and read their blogs; read all the articles you can in the Fishing Articles link on the top of this page; buy some DVDs on various baits, techniques and time of year; speak with the guys at your local tackle shop; and study the fish, itself.

 

You live in Georgia. I live in Virginia. We have guys in all 50 states and around the world. So to ask a simple question as to what baits to put in your tackle box this time of year will generate thousands of suggestions which will mess up your mind and confuse you greatly.

 

Even during each time of the year you go fishing each day is different. So to tell you to start to throw a tight wiggle crankbait may or may not be right. It would be right above the Mason-Dixon Line but are water temperatures in Georgia at a level to have a tight wiggle crankbait be productive on the waters you fish?  Who knows?

 

For $12 a year you can get Bass Times which discusses the tournaments and techniques and is a valuable source of information.

 

So you need to do some macro study and then go to micro studies for Georgia and the waters you fish and you will learn what baits to put in in your tackle box for fall in Georgia while other guys put winter baits in their tackle box up north while fishing in California is totally different.

I just made up a quick fish box as I call it. So I can grab it quick to fish on the fly. I put my variety of lures in it. Plus some plastics. I put zip loc bags so I can use plastics and save them. It's a small Plano two shelf box. I'm out of room already. I have spinnerbaits and jigs in it too.

I normally carry two Plano 9606 split roof boxes full of everything.

Plus a smaller split roof box with all my weedless stuff. When I go fishing it's like I'm moving. When I purchased the larger tackle boxes I went from 5 tackle boxes down to three.

  Do jerkbaits work in Geogia or in the south of that matter?

Jerkbaits simulate an injured baitfish. All species will be attracted to that no matter where, what time of year, or liquid water temps--doesn't work to well on the top of ice though.

Yep jerkbaits work in Jacksonville....even rainbow trout pattern lol

Moving baits and jigs. Should work just about anywhere.

Jigs, especially bucktails, lipless cranks, blade baits, jerk baits and an assortment of soft plastics.

Buck tail jigs.

You could, but I go the easy route and buy them from Jann's or other places and tie my own. They're very effective in cooler waters, especially for smallmouth.

Where I´m at what you fish with this time of year is what you fish with all year round.
