Show us your Tacklebox. What's in it? List the items with pics please, of how you stock up your Tackle box...

This should get interesting...

My tackle box is 20ft long, with way too much packed inside.

Several boxes of Rapalas and Halcos, a bunch of bags with konas and feathers, boxes and bags with traces, rings with traces, boxes with hooks, jigs, spoons, plugs and more.......

My tackle box changes so much from trip to trip that I dont even have a dedicated tackle box.Some days it's just me and a cooler box , other days there isnt room for a mouse in the back of the bakkie.I guess I tend to pick a species for the day and target it to the exclusion of all else

I didnt even take a rod bucket on todays trip

OK, where do you guys hide the forklift? I thought I travel with a load of stuff but you guys make me look like a sprinter. I will take a pic of my setup tomorrow and post it.

.. Hermann u got to see it to believe it, it looks and sounds like a lot , but have learnt to pack wisely and ideas to cut down on weight , although if i go ultra lite i pack less and with spinning its a backpack with the lures/spoons and odds and ends thrown in... you'll see at Vidal, people on the beach look at us and think we are
