How to carry spinners?


mhines

Recommended Posts

I'm fairly new to trout fishing, I have been doing it now for about 4 years. I am wondering what you folks are using to carry different colors/sizes/styles of lures with, while walking the streams. I finally broke down, and bought my first pair of waders, and found it rather difficult to carry different tackle and change lures while in the water...................so what whats the best way to carry extra tackle?

I also use a small backpack that I use for bug repellent, water, flashlight, extra tackle, camera, xtra line, etc. My selected spinners go in my front pouch in the waders in a small tackle box.

I have a vest, a fanny pack, and two chest packs. The vest is the most comfortable if I dont overload it. Too much stuff and it pulls to the back. My one chest pack has two big areas on the front and a big compartment on the back plus two drink holders. If im going to be on the streams long enough to need multiple drinks, a sandwich, and rain gear then I like the chest pack. The vest and chest pack are cabelas but tons of options out there. This spring I scarfed up a nice fanny pack on a sweet on-line bid where I saved about 80%! I have only used it a few times but like it. It has two water bottle holders and decent storage. I tend to bring the kitchen sink and run out of room. cool

Get a fly fishing vest, and one of the little 3 dollar tackle boxes from any sports store. They have small compartments that are perfect for small spinners. The pockets are great for all the things needed while trout fishing, small tackle box, camera, forceps(pliers), etc. The little loops/plastic rings on the outsides of most vests are great to for attaching a small measuring tape, net, and pliers attached to a bungee.

    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
    • I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
