What is a good tackle box/bag for redifsh(drum)/catfish/speckled trout?

Favorite Answer

I like to use a #4 circle hook baited with a live bait like perch, mullet, any small palm sized live bait fish hooked just before the tail cast out and allow bait to swim to find you a big fish. Big fish eat small fish all over the world nothing else is really needed except maybe a perch trap baited with dog food inside an old sock to get your baitfish with. You will catch more and bigger fish this way than you will with tons of tackle designed to catch fisherman not fish....Show more

Tackle box is a personal choice, but as far as bait lures goes, the trout only like the rubber shrimp, and the drum when they are feeding, they will hit a bare hook. When not feeding, they hit the rubber shrimp too. You have to have a bunch of them. They will hit the dead shrimp or the live shrimp, when you buy shrimp, get live shrimps and throw them on ice, whatever the bait store says, they go limp, and wake back up when they hit the water. I had a lot of bait stores want to sell you a bucket to put water in to keep them alive, they last 20 times longer frozen on ice that in dead water....Show more
