Packing For A Fishing Trip (How To Pack Fishing Tackle) - TRAVEL TIPS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2021
- Whether you're going down the road to climb on a friend's boat, or headed around the globe to an exotic destination, packing tackle is a pain! We've developed a system now that makes it much easier to grab our tackle and go, no matter the destination. If you've ever wondered what we pack when we head out on the road, today we're taking a look.
There will be some deviation in tackle depending on location but the basics remain the same. We have a basic set of terminal (hooks, weights, jigheads) that always travel with us, and some specific hard baits and soft baits that go on every trip. As an example, its always wise to have a Senko or a Chatterbait in your box. With that in mind, we've developed a packing list of sorts, of our favorite travel gear.
In addition to baits and terminal we rely on travel rods to catch fish wherever we go. We have chosen each of these rods for a specific purpose and would recommend them without hesitation. The key to traveling is using the strongest rods you can afford (strength beats sensitivity during travel) because if you break a rod deep in the mountains or across an ocean there probably isn't going to be a replacement.
Below you'll find links to the exact rods, reels, and baits we rely on. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse (unless specified to Amazon (rod tube) or Instagram (custom rod) where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

The s10 behind you looks amazing
Perfect timing. I’m leaving in 9days for my first out of state bass trip!!! Best channel on RUclips PERIOD!!!
Condensed, concise data. High value post. Both Matt and Tim are great presenters, speakers, instructors.
Thank you!
GREAT timing for this video. I have been trying to figure out the best way to pack for the days I go out on my buddies boat and this helps a lot. I have a lot better idea now of what to pack, how to pack and what to leave behind. Like you said, not your typical video but EXTREMELY practical and useful never the less. Those Plano Edge boxes are AWESOME for Terminal because you can grab different pouches from different boxes and put them into one box to reduce the number of full size boxes you need to carry. Thanks again Matt!!!!
I'm so glad you found this helpful! I suspected it was needed but it was obviously a last minute thought... sometimes those are the best.
Your videos answer a lot of questions and over the years you guys have really upped my game. I love all the info you have in the description about hooks and upgrades and what colours you prefer. Keep up the good work. Thank you for the education and the honesty.
We're happy to help! Thanks for being part of the Tactical family.
Great info as usual. Safe travels! Stick em!
Great stuff Matt. Very helpful.
Great content! Thanks for the video. Just in time for my trip this weekend.
Have fun!
I can learn anywhere .Thank You!
Leaving for a trip Friday morning for the weekend. Time to pack.
Re-watch to pack for upcoming trip to Chickamauga! Still terrific information but I think you, Matt, might have changed tackle bags since this was made. Invaluable for my Feb 3-10, 2024 trip to Baccarac with BigFishBullies and Pro Bass adventures. seats available in my group of 10.
Great video, thanks! I am a musky fisherman, but I use a very similar approach, and the same exact Plano waterproof case. I keep musky baits in a bunch of 3700 sized tray boxes and pick 3 or 4 for a trip in the boat. I even go another step and label everything and place replacement trebles in all of the trays in case I have to cut hooks, etc. But it's the same approach. Solid video, thanks... I'm not a bass guy and don't even know what some of the rigs you use are, but some of your videos are helpful regardless of target species, like this one.
I can remember fishing both the delta (Rio vista, Martinez and Antioch) and Clear Lake back in the 70s. I modify my tackle if going up north or doing some trout/pan fishing. Great advice for those traveling and great ideas on what to bring. We don't always need the kitchen sink to fish with. Lol
Really helpful thanks!
what a timing!. just starting to pack for a maine trip
I travel a lot for work and I have four of the Okuma Citrix rods. I usually take a casting and a spinning rod. I'm typically going to be fishing park ponds, rivers, sometimes there's a bigger lake. I'll take 6,10,15 lb. leader. I take jigs/trailers, senkos, creatures, half a dozen crankbaits, terminal gear. Sometimes I take some trout and pan fish gear and swap out the 15 for 4lb. I've caught fish all over the country on this gear. Keeping selection simple, watermelon, green pumpkin, black and blue work everywhere. There are crawdads and minnows everywhere, and frogs. I take a small selection of imitations. It all packs in my checked bag and fits in a single strap shoulder bag.
Thank-you for this information!
We're always happy to help
Can we please get a tour of your tackle cave since the big move !?!?!? I think we’d all love to see the GOAT Tackle cave ! Long time viewer and I love what y’all do !
Can we get a video at Dale Hollow Lake, Green River Lake, or Lake Berkeley. Appreciate all the work guys! 👌🎣
This was perfect for me I always bring way too much stuff or not enough stuff! Can you guys also do how to clean your fishing reel video please?
God I needed this one
I always enjoy the content, it's great information as usual...I also have to note the clean obs chevy for the background🤦...great choice for the back drop 😁
Ha! I noticed that when it was time to edit the video 🙂
Nice Chevy behind you ha ha
Sounds a little more organized than I remember for the first time to Baccarac. :-) Kudos to you guys! Why don’t you go with me again in November and/or January and show me how it’s done? I have open seats on both trips. Taking my boat again in November.
Love the video guys. Keep up the great work. One thing I hope y’all aren’t being affected by is this new hissy fit youtube is having with fishing and hunting channels. I know you guys maybe aren’t too familiar with some channels that are being affected but ultimately this affects everyone.
Can you give more details?
As long as we keep watching the videos and watching them commercials…money will win and Woke culture will go away…
Matt pulled out the line and said 3 spools of line like that's out of the ordinary while I always have like 10 in my tacklebag 😂😂😂😂
That obs Chevy THO
Literally on a trip rn and I say to myself every time before I go I’m not gonna bring to much. But every-time I get worried I won’t have something I need and bring half of my garage with me.
Megabass makes THE best travel rods! There’s even a Valkyrie world expedition line that has 4 piece swimbait rods that seems like you’d be all over!
We are 👍
hi great video. You should do a pond hopping video. Also what are your opinions on googan squad/baits.
How do these guys not have 1M plus subscribers I'll never understand. I guess you need to do barbie rod challenges and fish with gummy worms. 🤣 Great info as always 👍
At first I was a little shocked by the price, but that rod that comes with 2 tip sections sounds pretty dope I’m not gonna lie
People here in the states kinda hate on multi piece rods, but they really have their place. I have several two piece and telescopic rods up to nine feet long and can easily transport them in my car.
Excellent Video! Now I have a even bigger problem to solve..... I have six 7' MH casting rods, various brands, two 7' MH Spinning rods. All the casting reels are Diawa TWS 6:3's (one is 7:3) and Spinning are Carbonlite 2500's? size (I'm very unoriginal but I am buying a swimbait/big bait rod and reel next, for the 3-5oz baits) .... What line would you put on each of these if you wanted to be able to remain flexible and thro everything? Right now, some have braid, Fluro, Mono and one is Nanobraid to fluro for drop shot. Could this be a video? Have I conveyed my question ok? I have a boat but I also keep this quantity to remain a less burdensome co-angler. Thank you guys.
We can talk about all the tackle that we have but how do we figure out what the fish want that day I seem to be able to never figure that out 😂😂😂😂
Another great video. Could you guys do a video about care and maintenance with your reels? Specifically taking everything apart and oiling all the separate places
Can you guys make a video on how to convince my wife to let me fish more? Beginner and advanced?
Advanced involves multiple angles of negotiation... beginner can have long term consequences 🤣
Better to ask forgiveness than permission
But what do I know I’m 26 and single lmao
@@tacticalbassin 😂😂😂 I learned something today!
Co-angler tournament fisherman should model this tackle system
Agreed 👍
Can you guys do a video on how to fish the Delta
Check back in about 20 minutes 😋
Tactical packing?
Like a lot of guys are saying, this is GREAT timing! Question: between that Plano Z-Series bag and the Guide Series 3700 (the regular one, not the XL), which one would you recommend as a bag to carry to a buddy's boat or to keep in the trunk?
Both are great bags but I went Z-series because it sheds water. You just never know when a pop up storm will light you up and I don't enjoy laying EVERYTHING out after a trip to try and dry it 😂
@@tacticalbassin great, thank you!
Is that actually a terminal box with most of the box inserts removed, or a thin box with some boxes added? I guess it could be either.
Can you do a beginner on glide baits for
Fall……mid/late October…..is that even a thing?
I so need a travel rod to keep in my truck for when I see those juice holes riding down the road. Have you ever used a telescope rod, if so what's a good one?
I've never found a good quality telescoping rod. You're much better off with a multi-piece travel rod 👍
Is there any good budget travel rods
What if you only had one travel rod Or in what order would you buy the travel rods?
Do they make any travel inshore casting rods? I cant seem to find one.
Did anyone happen to catch the power/length of the Megabass travel rod. The link shows 5 different options. Thanks!
I know its out of context but do you have any tips for getting a frog to walk in the river current
Matt, how close is the travel rod sensitivity to a single piece rod in the higher end travel rods?
It's shockingly similar. I'd happily fish with them as daily rods, I don't feel like they're lacking anything.
@@tacticalbassin Great, thanks...now go hug the little ones!
So that SA footage.....
I noticed you didn't include a spinner bait your using a chatter bait instead?
Have any recommendations for a budget travel rod? Heavy to XH
There are very few heavy travel rods and nothing on the budget side. Best bet would be to go custom. Obviously custom won't be budget but you could pull it off mid-priced. We've used @bpm_custom_rods on Instagram for our custom travel setups.
@@tacticalbassin thanks so much! I’ll give them a look!
Hey! I know that boat 😏 haha
Perhaps so 😉

Would like to see you guys do more tourneys or at least tourney flavored videos.
You never know what will come down the line. We both fished a ton of tournaments in the past but gave it up for this. Maybe that will change again 🤷♂️
@@tacticalbassin Table Rock October 9-10, Charger/Champion owners tournament. Would be cool just to see your coverage. And you're a lot closer now than when you lived in CA. Last year I think there was 130 boats.
Those Plano bags are not water proof!
Huge black gap in your video
Please show us how much you have in your boat.
All tackle and accessories.
I.e. Empty your boat and show the contents.
Please include drinking cups, lunch boxes, EDC, toiletries, etc.
Just this once ... please?
