Ok dokie, Raúl´s minimalistic approach:
1.- 3/8 oz single Tennessee nickel blade white & chartreuse skirt
2.- 5" single curly tail watermelon red flake grub
3.- 1/2 oz football head black jig
With those three lure I can catch fish anywhere most of the time ..............now if I could only convince The BaitMonkey and, have to admit it, myself of that ....
No Zoom Trick Worm?!?
I take it you dont drop shot? That would be my first addition.

Not for me, but I did leave out the Zoom Fluke and YUM Houdini Shad.

You can d-shot with a grub.
River2sea Wide Glide 120 suspending or floating....Just used it for the first time yesterday, never knew how to work one correctly and just never gave it any thought since I have way too many options as it is, but WOW.....Now I want every one they make in each color, fish were active and they would chase it and hit it 2-3x, my buddy had a box full of glide baits, He throws huge one's but I have a box of walkers, he has a box of glides instead, and I am a believer, totally new look fish do not see as much in the south I guess because it was producing. 14" bass were hitting a 180 size Suick, and now I see why I was not happy with my S-waver, I was not using it the most effective way which I figured.
Nice list...I need to try that Cavitron buzzbait, that lure get's alot of press... I love the megastrike jigs which come in the 2 pack, Revolution I think it is, plus they have that creature which saves alot of room in the box since it is a toad or a punch bait.
I didn't see a 4x4 truck in your favorite make, model and color.
Pinnacle products?
Every other bait ever made? Lol

Well you can drop shot with a 10 inch worm or lizard but they are from being ideal when finesse and smaller profile and action baits are needed. Anything plastic can be fished on a drop shot given the wide range of hook sizes available. I just didnt see much in the way of tackle and baits on RW's list that indicated he fished this way.
I didn't notice a frog of any kind....
Tight lines,

Oops!
I fish the Rage Tail Toad and Booyah Poppin Pad Crasher. I will add them to the "topwater" list.
you forgot siebert chatterbaits and D&M custom chatterbaits, weedless spoons and wakebaits, glide baits and big swimbaits
Except for the Red Eye Shad, I wouldn't use any of that crap
Wow. I'd really need a full keyboard and at least an hour or so to think that out.
For enthusiasts, technique specific tackle is fun
to collect. However, three rigs cover all the
basics:
#1 5" green pumpkin black flake stick bait
#2 KVD sexy shad squarebill
#3 Rage Tail rage craw watermelon red flake

That's kinda like an unforgivable error, Oops ain't gonna do it.
Did you loose all your gear? Seems like a lot of new stuff. I scanned the list but did not see any hard jerk baits to start the season off with?
Nope you seem to have those to.
Rat-L-Trap 1/2 oz Toledo Gold
SPEEDBEAD would never approve of that list!

Let the Bait Monkey do the thinking for you.
Add your favorite "Must Haves".
zoom trick worms and zoom chunks. But besides that LFT lures magic shads.
