I have been asked buy a few fellows in my bass club to join them on this trip in March.

And am wondering about the logistics of taking tackle.

I go to Picachos every year. Logistics for both lakes are the same. Anglers Inn Is great. Billy takes care of his guest. Check all tackle that has a hook or metal in it. Reels go in carry on bag. As of now going you can have line on them, but coming back you will need to remove the line to carry them on.  I travel with the couple that wrote this article about El Salto y Picachos I think they have been 20+ times. over the years. https://www.halfpastfirstcast.com/el-salto-and-picachos
