Office Works!

Jorge Fidalgo:
Luke when you travel with your lures like the gammas, do you keep them within their own sleve they come with and then place them in the large wallet?

Also, on an average 5 days fishing GT trip, how many lures do you tend to bring?

I try to keep them in the orginal sleeve but they wear very easily. I will keep in the sleeve and also put in the wallet, 3-4 lures per wallet depending on the size.

For a trip of that duration it would be in the range of 20-25 lures to cover a range of sizes, action and water conditions.

Jorge Fidalgo:
Thanks for the info. I am having a hard time not surpassing 35 lures. So I am 10 ahead of your max.

I think I will be fine on the weight limit as I will be limiting my jigs considerably. But I do not want to bring so much more than I need that it becomes cumbersome.

However, I do feel that as I do more popping trips I will start to have favorites and it will become easier to select less lures. This has definitely been the case with my jig selection in the last year.

Mark Harris:
Everyone is different Jorge. I know guys who would go on a one week GT trip with a max of 10 lures.  I would break out in a hot sweat if I did that  ;)

25-30 is the number I normally aim for. For air transport I normally fit them in whatever spaces need filling, including my rod tube (very well wrapped with bubbles) and then fill up a hPa popper roll (great piece of kit) for daily use. THe hPa popper roll goes in my check in luggage flat packed.
