It gets subsidized and replenished on every trip, but certain staple lures never leave – and by “staple,” I mean not just the particular models, but specific baits that have caught hundreds of bass apiece. Here are three of my long-time favorites.
Don’t forget extra treble hooks. I always carry a pair of Texas Tackle Split Ring Pliers to make replacements simple.


Crush marlin, tuna, and even freshwater fish (?) with the best sardine-pattern lures. See our top picks from Tackle Warehouse & AFTCO—proven fish-catchers.
