Your box looks the same as mine almost but mine is a plano and my is stuffed more than I thought the little boc could hold. I want to buy a new tackle box but I love my little plano!!

I'd add some floating jig heads, and maybe a zara spook or mid size torpedos, rebel pop R's. don't forget some hooks, and bobbers.

I can't remember where, but I read those orange Thin Fins were the deal. Had to get 'em on Ebay, fair price.

You seem to be covering all the depths.
However, do your homework now. Look at topo maps of the areas you will be fishing, factor in time of year, and have a plan as to where and how you want to fish. The best lure in the wrong place will catch no fish, but a lure with "Coors" painted on the side will catch fish if put in the right place.
It's not Rocket Surgery, but consistent, quality fishing does require some forethought!!

I like to see those small bucktails, they are my #1 lure for northern, ski's and bass.
I would add some black or brown jigs, i also second the comment on needing some natural colored stuff.
I would look at a couple storm stick baits (they are cheap and run good for me). Get them in the appropriate depth range you plan to fish.

Like Capital City said - get a few Mepps spinners with and without the bucktails. Looks great Maxxbhp!

I don't see a hook-hone. It will make a difference, between "I coulda" and "I did".

I don't see any spoons. I have had good luck with trout on spoons.

BTW that basketball needle is for the way I was "trained" to tie a nail knot in a fly leader. I'll listen to anything about that, also. I've been blessed with the understanding that I don't know everything, which is sorta weird since I DID when I was 18

I suggest adding the following soft plastics:
1. Jerkbaits like the Berkley Jerk Shad or Zoom Fluke. I like to rig this bait with a weighted hook most of the time, unless I'm dragging one over heavy vegetation. Great for smallies but will entice pike and walleyes too. Really fun to fish.
2. Tubes and lead heads. I like 3-inchers but have used 4-inch as well. A great follow-up bait when a smallie misses on a topwater blow-up, especially when the fish are in shallow to spawn. Fish it deeper otherwise and try bouncing off rocks/boulders or even just swimming.
3. Swimbaits will catch just about anything that swims. I'm still experimenting with these, but I have caught fish on them. They make a pretty good search bait, because you can cover water pretty quickly with one. But in a canoe, covering water quickly isn't necessarily a priority.
If I only had room for one of these, I'd probably opt for the tube.

If your looking for eyez 4 dinner I like the thill light-up slip bobbers and the red gamakatsu hooks tipped with a leech. That way you can throw it out while you sit around the fire at night too!!! Some GULP plastics are hard to beat also.

I notice a lot of bright colors. If you are on very clear water, you might want some more natural paint jobs. Also, you'll want some rapalas. They work better; really. Shad raps, husky jerks, tail dancers and originals. Just my 2 cents. Also, I second the motion for slip bobbers and hooks.
