when do you remove a plug from the bag

[Pete F.]

My resolution for this year is to try and carry only a single row bag.
Since I fish mostly at night: 2 needles, plastic minnow, Danny, bottle, sluggos, jigs and teasers. Oh yeah, then I need a pencil popper, pikie, polaris for dawn and there goes the single row bag...

Surfcaster large (old style) bag with 8 inserts... all of the 5- slot/ large/ "old" variety. These easily handle Large Dannys, Needles & Bottles-- I'm a plug maven, & target the large only... and like NIB choose a 2WD approach & parking/ walking, so I need to carry lots of different plugs & sizes, and all targeted to vatying situations, spots & conditions... SO:

I carry pre- loaded 2- insert sets always/ already made up, & labled: "Day/ Heavy"... "Day/ Light"... "Night/ Heavy"... & "Night/ Light."

What goes where is fairly obvious w/ exp: no 3oz. Bottles nor large Dannys nor 9" / 3oz.+ Needles in "Night/ Light" ... and no 5" or even 7" Minnow plugs( unless loaded), & no Spooks nor light/ Gibbs Needles in "Night/ Heavy,"... & no Pencils nor tins in the "Night" inserts, etc...

This is my solution! Rotate 2- insert sets as needed into bag... add or remove a light or soft plastics as needed-- and then have the proverbial milk- crate of "back- up" plugs in your vehicle for situational/ unusual/ non- rotation, & replacement plugs! (i.e., Reverse Atoms, Yo- Zuris, Deep Divers, X- large Plugs not normally carried, etc.)

i basicallly used the method toby said this year.i got the medium sized bag with 1 row of 5 tubes.alot easier to get around with, and im learning the advantages and disadvantages of all the plugs i have

i think of it like being a sniper. you got a magazine with 5 shots, your light weight,mobile, and deadly.

the oposite is the machine gunner, youve got your gun and 15 pounds of ammo, clumsy and heavy, still deadly but no more than the sniper.

I generally wait till we hit the lot at Dunkin and offer to buy if they fly. Whhile they are hitting on the girl at the counter I remove the plug and no one is the wiser

Can you tell me where's there's a DD with girls worth hitting on at 0'dark thirty AM. Or would that be spot burning?

Why do you think I send them in.........

When i need to move ill put some essentials in the skinz belt bag(redfin, bomber, two size spooks/howdys, metalip, darter and a needle) some other misc in the pockets(tin,jigs,shads etc). with this setup i can cover alot of ground at nite if i need to. If im gonna be more stationary ill bring the big bag, or ill bring the big bag if i dont really know where im gonna end up.

I remove them from Bassmaster's bag when he isn't looking.
