Great presentation Tony! Just what I needed. Thx, Mike
You’re welcome Mike, glad it can help!
My tackle box is huge and most of it is for…..”just incase..”. I really need to consolidate. Great ad ice. Thank you.
You’re welcome Mike!
Great info. Thanks Tony.
You’re welcome Joe!
But , but what will I do with this great big tackle box full of expensive , beautifully , colored lures , which make me look like a real pro even though they don’t catch fish. ?
If you’re on the bite its still fun to try new or different lures!
The slam shady 2.o original and the gold digger are 2 lures I’ve been catching redfish and snook on this late fall and winter. It’s great to hear my selections have been on target. Thanks Tony.
Good stuff! You’re welcome Tom!
It’s nice to get the reminder that you don’t have to take everything out, every time you go out fishing. Thank you
For sure!
Thanks so much Coach Tony!
You’re welcome Hugh!
Thx so much for this video Tony.
One of the best money saving and time saving videos on lures I have seen.
Nothing like cutting through the confusing array of lure options out there, bringing more clarity and more fish to my estuary trips.
Not to mention more time chilling out and just enjoying my time on the water !
You’re welcome Ken!
Great information, It helps narrow down my selection greatly. great!
Thanks for the tips.
You’re welcome Joseph!
Thanks Tony. I do have a question though. I fish the back waters in North Carolina. We have huge tidal swigs, 5-7 feet, which I find hard to pick the right size weighted hook. would it be advisable to just use a 1/4 oz as to a 1/16th?
Hey Paula!
Yes I would go with at least 1/4oz and have maybe up to 3/4oz or even 1oz depending on the depth and current.
Thanks Tony
