[cool][#0000ff]As I shared via email, I have largely quit carrying larger boxes afloat, even though the pockets on my Super Fat Cat will easily accomodate good sized lure boxes. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Over the past couple of years I have "evolved" and downsized. I now use a lot of the Flambeau boxes in 4.5" X 9" size, with the little inserts to adjust the inner compartments. Each of these can hold a suprising amount of tackle, and if you take more than a couple or three well-planned boxes you are fooling yourself. You will never use that much.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The only times I take more tackle is when fishing a new water, or fishing a known water during a "transition period" when I might have to work a bit to find a hot lure and a pattern. Otherwise, I usually have a pretty good idea what the top three or four lures are going to be and everything else I take is just for balancing out my tube. Me? I am usually unbalanced and extra tackle won't help. [/#0000ff]
