Stuff you might find in a typical tacklebox.
Tackle-Box Checklist
Fishing line
Bobbers
Swivels, to keep fishing line from twisting
Leaders
Sinkers
Different sizes of hooks
Pliers, to help remove hooks
Stringer, to hold all the fish you catch
Sharp knife
Ruler/scale
Flashlight
First-aid kit
Insect repellent
Sunscreen
Some of this might vary, depending on the type/s of fish yer targeting to catch.
I have two tackle boxes. One for catfish and other big fish, and one for perch,crappy, bass and other bait sized fish. Then I have an even smaller box inside of the perch box for fishing creeks, etc.
We can elaborate if anyone wants to discuss this.

Tackle box should also include binoculars for sunbathers, a noisy device for those who get lost, and vittles. Matches or a lighter might come in handy, as well as kleenex by the roll! I bout fergot extra chaw!

Thought of some more essentials:
A compfy chair, cold beer if it is hot, a flask of brandy if it is cold, blanket (may be needed before the brandy kicks in), pillow (needed in either temperature conditions), emmmm did I miss anything?

Oh yeah, I forgot them items. I was meanin in yer tackle box. I also carry most of the above mentioned items as well. Cept for the alcohol, pillow and blankie. I do carry extra clothes tho, and extra jackets. Extra socks come in real handy if ya get yer feet wet. I hate cold soggy feet (unless I'm chunky dunkin). since I fish mostly at night, I carry several means of lighting....Flashlights, lanterns, etc. Good thing I drive my tackle box.  |
