fishing user avatarMissourifishin reply : 

I have a box that is all square bills, and other shallow cranks that I'm pretty confident in.

But I'm afraid that if I really kept a "confidence box" I'd never try new things.


fishing user avatarNathanW reply : 

LC Pointer 78, SK 3xd, 5xd, flipping tube, 4.5" curly tail roboworm, Rattlin Spook, arkie style jig, Terminator titanium spinnerbait...How many do I get?

fishing user avatarjeremyryanwebb reply : 

Spinnerbait...covers every depth, changes speeds.  Does a little of everything....that gives me confidence.


fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

I don't keep my confidence in a box or tied on a rod. Confidence is built through success. Success only comes with time on the water.


fishing user avatarDelaware Valley Tackle reply : 

Yup, Location / Depth / Presentation are the keys and when you get all those right you can have confidence in anything you throw at 'em.

live in shallows, but had all permanently moved to 20 ft.

fishing user avatarGone_Phishin reply : 

Baby Rage Craw with a tungsten bullet weight for t-rigging.


fishing user avatarBass NC reply : 

Personally I am a hardbaits fisherman and when I carry my confidence box I have a variety of baits. I always carry at least 2-3 different jerkbait a with me. Ralala husky jerks and x-raps are my go to lures. As far as square bills I love the xcalibur XCS series baits. Also, I will have 4-5 jigs in my box. Different sizes, colors, and style jigs are essential. When all else fails I pull out the Strike King spinnerbaits in bluegill or shad patterns and can usually figure out the fish.

Good luck and happy fishing

4"/5" junebug senkos, watermelon trick worms, white super fluke, strike king red eye shad, rebel pop-r.
