My boat is back in the shop and should be ready by the end of January. Brand new powerhead, all three cylinders bored 15 thousandths, new bearings, pistons, rings, new carbs, new ignition system, etc. I'm doing a little more than what I originally planned on being just a simple rebuild, but I would rather have everything brand new up top so I never have to worry about it again. Anyways, it should be ready by the end of January and hopefully I can not only get on the lake with it but get out across it right in time for the major influx of spawning bass.

After pulling most of my tackle boxes out of the boat before hauling it to the shop, I realized that I needed to do a lot of re-organizing and restocking. A lot of my favorite baits are running low in quantity and some of my lures are getting torn up pretty good so I guess now is as good a time as any to do it. Considering most of my fishing this month will be from the bank, this holds especially true for me.

So this brings me to my question:
Are there any lures that you would truely miss if you got to the lake and realized you were out of them? I have a few, but none more than
1. ZOOM Ol' Monster
2. a Swim Jig and Trailer
3. Rapala DT6

If I got out on the water and realized I didnt have any of these, it would probably take me a few minutes to re-think a game plan and change my fishing approach. Now, this doesnt mean that I use them exclusively, but they are my go-to's and I generally start out with these until I am proven wrong and need to change things up.

So what are your must have lures for fishing, whether it be bass, crappie, walleye, trout, etc.?
