Choosing The Styles Of Plastics You Carry 2025


fishing user avatarChris at Tech reply : 

As I mentioned in another thread I started, I'm really trying to scale down the amount of plastics I carry with me so I wanted to ask some opinions.

If you were forced to select only 8 styles of baits to carry with you to be as versatile as you can be, which would you select? For the purposes of this exercise, let's assume you're packing for a trip but you don't know what lake you're going to, the geography, the weather, the water conditions, etc. Let's not worry about colors here, just styles. And let's also say that two different sizes of the same bait will count as 2 styles (so if you want to carry 5 inch and 7 inch senkos, that would count as 2 styles).

Let's hear 'em!
