Every fisherman should have a variety of lures, hooks, weights and lines in their tackle box. Soft plastic baits such as worms and grubs are great for catching panfish like bluegill or crappie. Hard-bodied lures like crankbaits and spinnerbaits can be used to target bass. Jigs are versatile and effective for many species. Hooks come in different sizes, shapes, colors and materials so you can choose the right one for your situation. Weights help get your bait down to the desired depth quickly while line comes in various strengths depending on what type of fish you’re targeting. Having these items handy will ensure that you’re ready to catch any fish that swims by.
