I use storage containers from Harbor Freight Tools to keep my lures, hooks, and sinkers. I put everything in a military surplus backpack. It has lots of storage compartments to keep everything organized. I use this when surf fishing or using a boat inshore.

[@Saltstrong]

Nice!

[@Onemorecast941]

I’ve been fishing my entire life and I must say Salt Strong has definitely helped me step my game up in a few ways!!!!

[@Saltstrong]

Great to hear! Thank you for the support!

[@jackdickerson2031]

Justin great idea about having soft plastics pre rigged. Sometimes less is really more.

[@garywood8449]

Fantastic recommendations, but I also recommend a clip on knife on your vest. Especially for kayak fishing. You never know, if you are capsized you could be tangled in fishing line, or one of your equipment lines.

[@steveschlegel1293]

Good list. Here are a few more items that can make your yak fishing adventure a little more enjoyable: drift sock, wading boots for when you need to stretch your legs or the wind is beating you up. I’ll often slide out of the yak and wade fish if possible. 550 cord, handy for the drift sock and wading. Super glue, works wonderfully on line cuts to your hand/fingers and the inevitable pin fish trauma. Zip lock bags for phone, wallet etc. also nice to keep lens cleaning cloth and TP dry. Small anchor or spike. I prefer anchor. Food, will burn through calories yak fishing all day. Fishing gloves. Cutters for hooks, might wish you had a pair when you have a slot red on one end of you poppa dawg and your thigh on the other ( happened to me). Simple first aid kit. And last but certainly not least….Fish Bites!! Cut the strips in 1/4 “ wide pieces and keep them in a small pill bottle in your shirt pocket. These are a must to tip any soft plastic under a poppin cork. The increase in quality hits is significant. And the $7 bag will last a very long time.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for adding this info!

[@delstep2255]

This video looks simple,but it is very very meaningful.thanks

[@Saltstrong]

Awesome! We appreciate the support!

[@APE-AL]

That was an awesome video. Very informative. I’m very analytical and like to keep things to a minimum, so this was great info for me. I’m moving back to the coast and have never fished inshore as an adult so this helps me form a solid plan.

[@Jritchey1211]

Glad you found it helpful Alan!

[@blindhogadventures_Cory.F]

Man this is great. I carry wayyyyyy to much junk out in my tackle bag that I never end up using. Great examples and thanks for the tips!

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for watching!

[@FastEddy1959]

Agreed! After over fifty years of fishing for everything from tiny mountain stream trout to giant tuna & shark, I still tend to bring way *too much, “just in case”. I’m going to try and take this advice to heart.

[@morcumith]

super video..i always take way more than i need ....i now will cut that in half..great ideals .. always learning..you folks are the best learning organization ever ..thank you so much..🙏👍

I can’t wait to try out the Texas eye finesse for some inshore BFS fishing.

Great video. Thanks!

[@FastEddy1959]

Just FYI for the viewers; an inflatable PFD must be worn when on the water to count as the required “one per passenger”. If it’s the only one you have and you just stick it in your milk crate, you can (and, eventually, will) be ticketed.

[@JewportMenthols]

Not true in every state, in MD you just have to have a vest for every person on board they DO NOT need to wear it at all times

[@FastEddy1959]

@@JewportMenthols Re-check the regs. Inflatable PFDs have different rules. Typically, they have to be worn to count.

[@JewportMenthols]

@@FastEddy1959 my apologies didn't read the inflatable part, you're right

[@FastEddy1959]

@@JewportMenthols Thank you, that was very big of you.

[@FastEddy1959]

I had to find out why an inflatable has to be worn. Turns out, it’s because most of them will auto-inflate when wet- and they are (according to my source, a FWC officer), they are next-to-impossible to put on AFTER they’re inflated… and in an emergency, they will likely get wet before you think to get them.

Waterproof backpack, just recently started my reteach myself everything fishing, will be looking into a waterproof back for sure, going to NZ with the potential for fishing at various locations, the fishing gear is already in NZ waiting at families place :) nope not a kiwi but it fishes don't know the difference between ozzie, kiwi, yank or pom :) looking at catch and cook for the wife's family! Time to create a word document for research purposes and when I go wandering through fishing tackle shops, if I can grab things on the list cheap as chips then that's what I am doing!

@@Saltstrong I will be, any videos I like I save a few playlists from and often subscribe to the channel. Still have about 150 videos to watch in two separate playlists once I've gone through them.

All it comes down to it repetitive lessons about whatever the subject is. Been many years since we have both been fishing 👍

Justin, do the plastics you have mentioned here do okay placed in the same box? I know zmans do not mix well with other plastics. Not sure about the power prawns.

[@Jritchey1211]

Yes, they've been perfectly fine, as long as I store the Z-Man (TPE Material) Plastics separate from traditional PVC Plastic Lures.

[@johnkarges8829]

I’d also highlight a headlight that has a strobe capability/switch for warning visibility

[@Jritchey1211]

Good idea John! Definitely an important feature when you do get on the water.

[@Piranha474]

16th Oz? 3/16 or 1/16 th?

There's one kind of lure that i missed in your tacklebox, and that are the Poppers. Don't underestimate them, cause they can be really effective lures.

Okay I'm new to salt water why not do a treble hook on the rattle trap and spook?

[@sonnyreeves8123]

Do you have problems with rust of hooks pre loaded? Do "Treated" boxes that advertise rust inhibitors interfere with "Scent" or Dr Juice? Less is more. I like what Pat did using one lure until he masters the art. So far my power prawns are well liked by puffers and pins.

What's the difference in 20# line and 20# leader?

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I out all my Salt Strong paddle tails in the same bag together. Same with the bomber size and flukes. So I have 3 bags instead of 6 or 8. Your plastics don't melt together and the colors are stable so I don't see a reason to carry extra bags, especially in my kayak.

[@Saltstrong]

Ours should be ok to put together. Mixing them with other brands could be an issue. And the Z-Man lures may melt due to the type of plastic they are made from. If you ever have any questions about storing them, feel free to email our Customer Support Team at [e-mail].

[@TonyStewartWins]

How do you keep the Z Man lures from melting with the other lures?

[@Saltstrong]

Store zman lures separately from other lures... to be safe, we recommend storing all lures only with other lures from the same material (when in doubt, store separately).

[@markraciborski4289]

So, none of that saltwater plastic have a heat melt problem? Some of that Z-Man freshwater stuff a small insulated cooler is needed around here.

I always carry a little spray bottle with 70% alcohol when out fishing, very useful for disinfecting a wound or cleaning an oily substance.

[@Jritchey1211]

I like that, good idea! I bet that hurts like the Dickens, but it's a way better option than getting an Infection!

Yep I swear by the procure gel when fishing soft plastics. I also use spike it from time to time add scent and color contrast to my baits.

Less is more

[@notsure7874]

Tired of hearing how clear fluorocarbon is. It's not THAT much more invisible. It's real value lies in it's non-stretchyness, and that it doesn't float like mono. The disadvantage being it will turn into a curly-Q if you wrap and pull tight to cinch down a knot and turn your bait into a helicopter - which kind of negates a slight visibility advantage.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@garrettm1282]

Try not to net the trout it ruins there slime outer shell type thing and kills them
