I don't know about you, but 30 pounds just in TACKLE seems like a hella lot. I probably carry 30 pounds combined in tackle, rods, tools, batteries, and beer. I should probably carry more beer though

Yeah, It's closer to 20 lbs, maybe, but I carry a lot of spare lead and many different sizes. I am kind of particular about using the minimum to get me to the bottom and keep me there, depending on the current and depth. I guess the assortment is a little unnessacary because I almost always end up using a 6 ounce torpedo weight or an 8 ounce bounce ball. I also like to switch between methods if i find something isn't working.

S what do you suggest I pick up first in order to start fishing? I kind of have to rebuild my arsenal so trying to get the essentials first so I can get out and start fishing.

We do an event every couple months. Hopefully you can make the next one.
