Ben Rivers:
Guys

How many of the following would you take on a 7-10 day trip to the Coral Sea or a comparable destination?

-Poppers
-Stickbaits

I was thinking 4 of each? Too little or Too many?

Cheers Ben

Chris Webster:
Hey Ben,

I went on a trip in September and i took a combination of poppers and stickbaits totalling 20 lures and i was worried i would not have enough.
Turns out i had 20 lures too many as the fish shut down but it is best to be prepared. 

Personally i prefer poppers but that's just me.

I have a trip booked to the Monte Bello Islands next year and i plan to take 20 poppers with me, but that's just me.

In saying this though, just because i am taking 20+ with me does not mean i will have 20 rigged and ready every time I jump on the dory.

Cheers,

Chris

Being the tackle junkie that I am I would bring dozens just for the heck of it. You never know what will work and what you will loose!

Mark Harris:
I am not sure that taking craploads of lures will be so unusual to the membership here :).

For a 7 day trip I would have a minimum of 30 poppers and sticks combined and probably more.  I like covering all possible bases :).

I once had nearly 60 jigs on 5 day liveaboard trip. I might add that I knew the boat owner and sent them ahead on the boat rather than carrying about 25 kgs of jigs!

Ben Rivers:
My planned 8 (4 Each) is sounding well under stocked. Best hit the shops!
