The lunker log is my favorite stickbait. I like to through the green pumpkin blue color.

[@TackleJunky81]

Appreciate you watching Dylan! 👊

[@bryanmasters5423]

Can’t have enough baits! But I like the way pared it down to a few! You are right can never go wrong with green pumpkin and black and blue.

[@TackleJunky81]

For sure brother! Appreciate you watching! 👊

[@tomelliott83]

The soft plastic shopping with GoPro was like a VR shopping trip. On the dye do you get garlic or unscented. If you could make a video going over treble hooks that would be awesome. Like explaining sizes, bends,shanks,feathers,sizes for different lures,feathers,etc. That would be awesome since I haven’t really seen anyone go over treble hooks.

[@TackleJunky81]

Hey Thomas, the dye has a garlic scent. I do have videos on treble hooks, but I'll see if I can make an updated one. 👊

[@jefferyholland]

If I had to add one thing it would be the Zman Bang Stickz. For a pond kit you can save some space using these as you can cut them in half for neds or use them full length for stick baits and shaky heads. Pretty good series Jim and I think you would have everything you could need for a good day on the water.

[@TackleJunky81]

That's a great tip brother...appreciate you sharing! 👊💪

[@tommoorehouse]

I like how you don't seem biased toward just one brand of soft plastics.

[@TackleJunky81]

I have my favorites, but I like to use a little bit of everything.

[@gregmarriott3495]

Great ideas for my new backpack; thanks ! Tight lines, brother!

[@TackleJunky81]

Appreciate you watching brother! 👊

[@jessiehoch7541]

I have about 10 bags of soft plastics in my back pack. To save on weight, I decided to mix my colors of the baits. For example in my stick bait bag, I have 3 each of 4 colors. Same for craws, bugs, and swim baits. Lightens my load significantly, especially when I’m only out for an hour or two at a time.

[@WaltFreedom]

Good selection... I could catch fish on that selection about everywhere I go. Nice job!!

[@TackleJunky81]

Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching Walt! 👊

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

great video to wake up to!! hardest part for me is picking what i want to take

[@TackleJunky81]

Thank you brother! It's hard to keep it simple with so many great choices. 👊

[@leannesmith3660]

I usually take more than I need with me. Take a small bag with essentials and go back to the truck for any changes. I take too much with me. I need to pick 3-4 and just use them to get familiar and build confidence in them. Another reason I should take less is I am usually limited on time. I am an after work till dark fisherman. You did cover pretty much all the bases. Good video, Jim👍👍

[@TackleJunky81]

I agree with you, gaining some confidence in a lure is huge! Appreciate you watching Leanne!

Haha too funny "shopping" in your own tackle room. I'm not sure how many bags of soft plastics I take when I go bank fishing but I think it is similar to how many soft plastics you chose, I'll count next time. Great video as always, really liked hearing how you condensed 60,000 bags of soft plastics into 27 for bank fishing. 👍👍👍👍

[@TackleJunky81]

[@joshuacampbell1383]

Love the explinations for why you chose each one. I learned alot. Btw, the Red Shad ribbon tail is the color I caught my pb on.

[@joshuacampbell1383]

Also to add, I pack extremely light when I go out fishing, so I usually only take 2 or 3 packs of soft plastics with me. I dont like carrying a lot of tackle, I would get overwhelmed with choices, so I choose one specific method for the day and just carrying the corresponding tackle. I usually carry my crappie jigs and pole and then a pole for bass fishing.

[@TackleJunky81]

Appreciate you watching brother! Red Shad is a killer color for the lakes I fish as well. 👊

Another great video, I would compare this to when I get out in the Kayak fishing but I pack less as it forces me to fish with focus. Swimbait, crawfish bait and a senko or worm. 🎣👊👍

I like having a room full of baits as well, lol

[@stephenlitten5576]

I'd say I usually pack around 25 packs of soft plastics on average. I use to carry a whole lot more but I've been trying to scale back how much I carry. Nowadays I generally try to bring no more than 5 varieties for each type of plastic I plan on fishing that day. Five drop shot options, five for ned, five swimbait, five craws, five stick baits, and then maybe five miscellaneous baits for trailer options or that "something different" like a pack of tubes, lizards, curl tail grubs, frogs.

[@TackleJunky81]

That's a good system buddy! 👊

[@polychris5961]

I carry a large kvd speed bag and one 3600 size hardbait box. As well as a smaller box for terminal tackle. So about the same amount of soft plastics as you had here 🤙🏼👊🏻
