I mentioned how the boat storage is arranged with clear labeled plastic boxes and canvas type carrying bags, plus the Albacore tackle storage carrying organizer. The Albacore unit allows me to stack 6 plastic boxes and has additional storage for terminal tackle, scent, pork bottles and tools.
When fishing with someone in their boat I try to figure out what I need based on where we are fishing and the seasonal period. I also factor in how my partner for the day likes to fish. You should be able to reduce tackle when fishing in someone else's boat to 4 rod and one tackle bag. If walking the bank I try to reduce it down to one rod and a belly bag. If traveling I send 2 rods in rod tubes and a small canvas bag in shipping box. All this takes a lot of planning ahead.
1. One rod out fit; 6'6" med/hvy bait casting w/12 lb mono
2. Two rod outfit; #1 plus 6'6" med/light spinning w/ 8 lb fuoro
3. Four rod outfit; 2 each #1 w/ 14lb fluoro and 12 lb mono, #2 plus 7' cranking rod w/ 12 lb mono or 7'8" hvy swim bait rod and 25 lb fluoro, depending on the seasonal period and where I'm going.
lures and terminal tackle is dependant on the seasonal period. My go to lures are: Roboworms plastic worms / Yamamoto Kreatures, my jigs, Bomber 7A crank, Lucky Craft 78 pointer and Sammy, 1/2 oz Nichols spinner bait w/Indiana blades, all the reaction baits in shad colors. Plus Huddleston swim bait depending where and whom I'm fishing with.
If I was fishing Amistad in the Elite series I would send #3, replace the spinning rod with the swimbait combo, adjust the lure selection to take advantage of the big bass available and feel confident back seating, otherwise I would need my own boat loaded with tackle.
