I'd get some 8-10 pound monofilament, 1/8 and 1/4 oz jigheads, 3 and 4" curly tail grubs in white, black, chartreuse, and green/olive. Also get a deep diving husky jerk, floating original rapala 3-5", and a kastmaster spoon. A few hooks, splitshot and floats if you are live bait fishing. Maybe a couple inline spinners. That should all fit in a small tackle box and should be all you would need to catch dinner. |

I am by no means an angler. However, I want to try. I have a packable pole and reel I bought. Here’s what I got on the complete recommendation of the sales guy at Cabelas. The pics are what the guy sold me. So, being the guy who wants to try angling on trips, but has never really done so, what more do I need? I imagine a case, mini tackle box, and what else? End of May is when I plan on trying this out. Thanks! |

DMan5501: "I too carry a pack rod.. FYI for protection of the rod I strap it to my tent poles for traveling.. " That is probably my biggest concern. How do I carry and protect the rod? I looked up cases but they are all way big or are for fly rods. |

tanner00422: "What are you fishing for? That will effect what you want to bring with. Or what lakes are you going to? " I guess mainly walleye is what I’m after. Are there trout? Id be good with anything edible really. |

Spoons and spinners are very effective but harder for a beginner to manipulate and keep from snagging up. So, you may want to only pack one or two of these. Mepps makes great inline spinners (#5) size. Don't forget a decent filet knife, side-snips, stringer and net. These will come in handy once you catch something and want to hold onto it! Not to mention -- filet and eat it... I'll let others jump in to fill out a basic recommendation list. If you work with an outfitter, they may be able to set you up fairly quick if you call them in advance and tell them what you want. Just a thought.... |

Slip bobber, hooks, split shots, jigs Leach locker and live leaches White and black mister twisters Berkley flicker shad for rolling while slowly paddling #4 Meps spinner for casting towards shore Rapala purpledesent tail dancer for trolling for lake trout To answer your question a pack rod will work. Go to your local hardware store and purchase pvc or sewer pipe and glue. Then make a custom rod case that fits your rod. |
