Put together a tackle box that would give you an all-season all-around Salmon and Trout kit.
Here are the parameters for the tackle box:
(12) slots for spoons (6) slots for body baits (J-plugs, tomics, etc...) (6) slots for flies or speciality rigs (meatrigs, etc...) (4) slots for flasher, rotators, etc...
That's it ... put together your goto kit that would get it done, assume that the tackle can be run on any appropriate technique including divers, downriggers, leadcore, etc... Take your time and really think this one out because you need to be able to get
Kings and Coho Steelhead Lakers Browns
and if you wiil, give us justification and strategy for the choices you made.
CLARIFCATION: No repeat baits!
