I just thought it would be cool to see some pictures of what everyone has is their bags/boxes!
This thread sounds kinda neat. Maybe Ill post a pic later tonight when my girlfriend goes to bed. She won't be too happy if I empty my tackle box all over the living room floor to take a picture.
Good idea but I have way too much stuff to take pictures of it all. It may be easier to tell you what I don't have...
Well here is what I got from Thanksgiving sales: Cumara Reaction rod,,Iobee Frog, River2see Dahlberg Frog, Bama Bug Senkos, Kinami Palm Trees, Fat Ika Damiki Hydras 3" & 4", some hooks.
If I put all my tackle out to take a picture, I would have to stand on a 30ft ladder to take the picture to get it all in. By then you wouldnt be able to see anything, lol.
Here we go again. You can see Jfranco's stuff laid out in one shot but you'll have to down load Google Earth.

Y'all could just post up some of your newest or favorite tackle since you have so much.
Here ya go. Nothin too special. Just started this past summer. Hopefully there will be a lot more after Christmas.
Very nice order QuakeNShake! On a side note what is the difference between the palm tree and the hydra baits? I picked up some fat ikas which I believe to be similar to the palm tree but this will be my first time using that kind of bait. Just thinking of making a few notes for a spring time order...

The hydra has balls on the end of each tentacle and flair a bit more. They also have a slightly larger profile

The Fat Ika and Palm Tree are exactly the same. Both are made by GYCB, marketed under different names.

Here's my co-angler kit. All this goes into a AZ8 bag:
Had to leave earlier.
The Hydras sink slower the skirt flares more(like Jakarol24 mentioned) and in a different motion more fluid when given a twitch than the Ika skirt. The Hydras dont seem to fall away as much. Oh the Hydras are VERY soft squishy where the Ika more firm dense. I have a little butane solder iron that use to fix them get much more use this way. They do tend to tear easily. Too I got some MEND-IT see how that works. Dont throw them away they can be repaired. I got over 20 bass on one Ika and 14 still going on one Hydra.

Thanks for the reply and also (noting the price difference!) I will add a few to my spring order list. As far as the mend-it I have 2 bottles... very good stuff and saves lures and $. I also use a lighter as well.
A few shots.....
Wow! That is quite the collection you got there.
Tip of the hat to Maico.
No one else even needs to post...On 12/22/2012 at 7:18 AM, Maico1 said:A few shots.....
^^^ thats exactly what i was thinking ...
Wow, Maico1, wow. The little quarter where your fishing buddies can gather is a nice touch. Some part looks like a store.
I took pics of my gear for insurance purposes. When I took the two CD's full of photos to my agent, he just gave me a look that said; Seriously? You needed two? I told him the only thing on the second one was my 19 rods and 14 reels and I swear the guy got weak in the knees before he said: " I think we need to increase your coverage just a little." When I said I'd like to include my Muskie gear too, he went limp.
Some guys just don't get it.

You can say that again.On 12/22/2012 at 2:03 PM, Loop_Dad said:Wow, Maico1, wow. The little quarter where your fishing buddies can gather is a nice touch. Some part looks like a store.
Here's an older picture of my fishing closet off the bedroom.

I've been in that basement. The pics don't do the collection justice. Just look at the rod labels stuck to the wall around the G. Loomis crest!
The next time my family complains I have too much gear -- and compared to the average I do -- I'll just need to send them the URL for this thread. I suspect they'll have little further to say on the topic.

Add two more things to the sitting area and you'll have a real fisherman's man cave...a magazine rack for your all your catalogs and reading material, (all fishing related) and that 52" LED HDTV for watching your favorite fishing shows and videos.

Merry Christmas!
Just got back into Bass fishing this season after a few years of doing other things. Aquired this collection this season. All boxes full the giant bin is all Rage Tails
Santa was good to me this year, got a 6'9 light phenix m1, a 6'5 shimano cumulus, and a shimano sustain 1000.
The black bag is what i use on foot, the orange bag is all my plastics, and those are all my plano boxes filled with topwater, cranks, jerkbaits, jigs, spinnerbaits, frogs and spinners.
I've got hundreds of bags of plastics, and several tackle boxes full of line, terminal tackle, etc. but I'm mainly a bank fisherman so I have to streamline everything. Took a few pics of my bag, which surprisingly, holds a ton.
What I deamed the creature pocket, even though there aren't many creatures in there anymore. BPS tubes, Zoom flukes and brush hogs with some storm wild eye shad swimbaits in a random producto bag.
Small chigger craws and big paca craws.
dingers
worms - all havoc. big and small bottom hoppers and juice worms.
I dont feel like taking a picture, but i have some original rapalas, some broken backs, husky jerks, some rebel minnows, pad crasher, rebel frog-r, loads of plastics and hooks, alot of spinnerbaits, a few jigs, pliers, a tape measure and some other little stuff
3 quarters of my lures. The rest is in tackles boxes stored in the garage.
The Resurrection ~
I don't have any shots of the entire arsenal, but this is the gear (minus rods & reels) that made the trip to Lake Baccarac last March.
The Private Air has a 40lb weight limit - that's everything tackle and clothes.
I actually lost 10 ponds so I could bring more gear
Most of this is going back in 12 Days; with a few minor additions and deletions.
A-Jay
If my wife ever saw all of my stuff on display I don't think I would be able to buy anymore lol
This setup is one I have been fishing a lot lately. It is a Daiwa Fuego that has several upgrades, level wind bearing, carbontex drag washer, Abec 7 spool bearings, Daiwa 100M spool, Diawa Steeze swept dragstar and a 4 bearing carbon fiber handle. The rod is a Falcon Cara Finesse Jig model, it throws the lighter baits like a dream.
Some of my stuff
