Scenario: You have your choice of a rod and reel spooled with whatever line you want. Now you have $20 to spend on lures/tackle for a day on the lake. What are you buying?

 

For this exercise let's just say that weather, lake, temperatures, and all other conditions are irrelevant.

A pack of Senkos- $7

Pack of gammy hooks- $3

3/8 flipping jig- $4

A pack of rage craws- $5

And a sunkist- $1

Had to figure out where my last dollar would go. 

Gimme a:

BOOYAH Pad Crasher-$6

Pack of Pit Bosses: $3

3/0 Superline EWG Hooks - $3

Some 3/8 tugsten Weights: $7

Bobberstops to peg my weight: $1

 

 

I would buy a buzzbait 5 dollars 

some hooks  , bullet weights and 7 to 8 inch curl tail worms for the rest .

worms

hooks

weights

Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Worm 3 pks 9.87

3/0 straight shank round bend hooks 3.99

1/8 oz weights 5.89

 

$19.73 ?

3pks Powerbait worms, 7", varied colors $10.50

1pk Lazer Sharp Round Bend Hooks, 3/0 $3.50

1 pk Ultra Steel 2000 Bullet Sinkers, 3/16oz $5.99

Well, first it depends on the store's stock and prices...

 

I would figure something like this:

 

Spinnerbait, buzzbait or chatterbait (they last a while and you can catch a lot of fish on them).

Some soft plastics or cheaper senko knock offs

Eagle Claw 3/0 Hooks (usually buy Gammy's for EWGs and Owners for everything else, but Eagle Claw's are cheaper)

1/4oz weights

4" or 5" Storm Wildeye Swim Shads.

 

Should make it under $20.

Zman chatterbait green pumpkin or black/blue $4.99

yum dingers $3.99

3/0 hooks $3

Booyah Boo Jig $2.99

Berkley Havoc Pit Boss $3.99

pack of sunflower seeds $1

As long as I don't have to pay sales tax...

 

ZMan TRD (8 pack), CA Craw - $3.99

Zman 1/16 oz Shroomz finesse jigheads (5 pack) - $4.99

Fish Sticks Lure enhancer, crawdad scent - $10.99

 

I should be set for a month...

Trokar tk130 5/0 flipping hooks $6

Havoc Pit Boss $4

1/4-1/2oz bullet weights $2

Berkley Fusion  round bend worm hook 4/0 $4

Zoom trick worms $5

1pk Fat Max ribbon tail worms

1 Ice cream cone with what's left.

Is this a 5 bass heavist weight or MLF numbers tournament? We use our boats? Either tournament scenario my boat has everything I need, $20 for lunch.

Flukes for topwater and mid-depth, the lizards for bottom.

1 pack of Baby Brush Hogs $3

1 pack of 3/0 EWG hooks $4

1 pack of Yum Dingers $3

3/16 bullet weights $2

1 Strike King Red Eyed Shad $5

1 spinnerbait $3

 

Or I just get a pack of flukes and a six pack. 

Z man jackhammer.  

 

But seriously...

 

1 x Zman finesse Shroomz 1/15 or 1/20 oz - 5

1 x Zman TRD Canada Craw - 4.5

1 x Yum grubs, white - 2.5

1 x 2/0 worm hooks - 4

1 x trick worms, watermelon with chart tail - 3.5

 

Yep, I'm using a 7 ft long, M spinning rod with 10 lb Power Pro and 6 lb or 8 lb Red Label leader.

Pack of watermelon green pumpkin senkos $7

Owner twistlocks $5

Berkley half head jigs $4

Z-Man TRD CA craw $4

 

Pretty much guaranteed to catch fish anywhere around here with these combos.

I'd probably use the last $20 to fuel up my car for the trip. I have plenty of bait/lure selections already.
