Pretty cool read here

Was watching the BassMaster Internatational Event on ESPN the other morn(around 6:00 am). The tournament director allows each angler to use only one utility box,Think it was a size 360(looked like a niced size plano). They had to pick the baits they thought would work good and then register those baits, The lid had to close, and they could not restock or use there partners' baits. I dunno if there was a limitation on rod numbers. It was 2 american anglers vs 2 internatianal anglers and there were 3 teams. Heres the question-"IF YOU had to chose what lures to put in your utility box(This includes Hooks,weights,trailers,skirts and everything else,) what would you choose?

As much as I could stuff in it ;D. I would bring 3/0 Owner Widegap hooks, lizards(6" and 8&quot, Pulse worms(zipper style of worms), a couple of green pumpkin jigs, with trailers, some spinnerbaits, with different blade and color configurations, a jitterbug, some 1/16 & 1/8 oz bullet weights. I would bring some of Carolina Chips shallow and med cranks. And anything else I could squeeze in there. I guess I would have to sit down, and see how much of this I could pack in it.

I think you meant the 3600. I'd cram everything in it I could. Cram three spinnerbaits, two tandem and one double willow. One or two shallow diving cranks. A few strike king pro model jigs. A pack of junebug senkos, two packs of zoom superflukes in albino and watermelonseed. A jitternug and a popper. A few packs of worms (7.5 in red shad culprits of course). Gamakatsu 3/0 and 4/0 EWG hooks. 1/8-3/8oz bulletweights. And then anything else I could fit.

[gonefishy2002]

1 pk. each of 4"senkos 166,297,208. 1 pk. 3" senkos 042j, a pack of flippin tubes blk/blue,pack of red shad culprits,2 white Lunker lures w/ trailer hooks, 2 pop-r's baby bass,2 chrome/ blue/ orange rogues,2 chrome/blue back 1/2oz. rattle traps,2 chrome/ blk. baby 1- cranks,2 crawdad shad raps, 2 bagley dbIII's tenn. shad cranks, 2 white/chart. spinnerbaits gold/nickel tandem.1/8,3/8,3/4oz. blk. bullet weights and 1/0,2/0 Gammie EWG's and 4/0 superline EWG's.

Dang now I gotta rethink everything all over again JK I like the idea of not knowing squat, and being put on a plane to a destination, AFTER you've packed your box. Oh yeah I forgot Flukes by Fin-S.

I would have to assume it's after the spawn. I would load up on shad colored Â*and green pumkin senkos (the yum brand,just cause they are cheaper), blk/blu JnP (1/4,3/8,1/2oz) with matching saltcraw trailer; shad,firetiger and chartreuse med. cranks w/rattles, probably bomber 6a's and 7a's as well as several fat free fingerlings. 3/0, 4/0 ewg's, 1black and 1 chart. buzzbait 3/8oz.
7 1/2" worms in red shad, junebug. baby brushhogs in grreen pumkin, neon, red shad. 1/8 to 1/2 oz. bullet weights

[texan_bass]

If these guys didn't carry Secret Weapon spinnerbaits, they missed out ;D

With these I could pack 4 spinnerbaits, a few skirts, some blade attachments, and the buzz blade attachment. I'd have over 100 combinations, with more room for all my other baits

I'd have (3) 3/8oz black/blue jigs, (3) 1/2oz jigs same color. 3 watermelon zoom pro chunks, 3 greenpumpkin zoom chunks. (3) Berkley 7" green pumpkin worms, (3) Watermelon worms, (3) black worms. (2) watermelon tubes, (2) greenpumpkin tubes. (6) zoom brush hogs in the same colors. (4) zoom lizards in watermelon, (2) craws in watermelon (2) craws in greenpumpkin (4) 1/4oz slider hooks, (4) 3/16oz bullet weights (2) 3/4oz egg sinkers, (2) 1oz egg sinkers.(4) 1/2oz bullet weights, (4) #3.0 mustad wide gap hooks, (4)#5.0 mustad wide gap. (2) trailer hooks. The rest of the room would be filled with cranks.

Don't tell my wife :-X She'll think this is all I ever need in the boat

Did they list out what each angler carried with them?

[catfishtonyd]

They used to do that with the Classic all the time. At first they were limited to four rod and reels, and ten lbs of tackle. Then it went to they could fill one tackle box that a sponsor provided. Now I don't think there is a limit, normally.

[randerson52]
