What else should I bring? I added a few Lindy rigs since the photo. I could throw out a all but 2 of those foam floats for a bit more room and te lighted bobber could ride elsewhere. What would you add?

Primarily targeting eyes. With an occasional "whatever's biting".

Nice little minimalist box you've got there. I think you would be fine with what you have, although if you want to add something maybe throw in one original floating rap in black silver, #9, and then some kind of topwater - Pop R, Baby Torpedo or jitterbug. Although you could always use the floating raps as top waters, but nice to have an option of something that makes a little more noise and moves a bit more water.

Moonman.

hook hone...like a Balzer diamond hook sharpener. It is a "key"(like a car key) that is diamond dust impregnated. Light, small, works great, lasts for years. You will lose it, not wear it out.

Mepps spinners, number 2 silver. 3 inch white or chartreuse powerbait twist tails.

Basspro69's advice is right on: a couple of Mepps No. 3s always work.

Mepps, check,
Twister tails, check
Original rap, copy that
Jitter bug, jointed, check
Mimic minnow check, no spinner though, I'll pick up a couple this weekend
I have a diamond sharpener in my vest with a hook grooves

Good suggestions everyone. I started by bringing a 10x18 two sided Plano box and every year brought less and used 1/4 of it. This box should hold me over for five days of hard fishing I hope.

Leaders? I know many people don't use them, but I always use a 6" leader with the rapalas anyway.

BnD I assure you, all the tackle pictured is 100 real, along with the box.

I've seen Wallidave's spread and while super impressive, I wouldn't want to carry all of it:)

NotLight-a have a few leaders in my lifejacket, never use them.
