Amount off tackle on a trip.

(1/2) > >>

Arnout Weber:
Good morning,

With 3 weeks in advance i was thinking how much tackle do you guys taking on a trip.
I was thinking about 2 or 3 castingrods and 2 jiggingrods.
For lures i was thinking about 10 poppers and 10 stickbaits. For jigging around 25 jigs from 200 to 350 gr.

My trip will be to Raivavae. I think it is also dependent to which destination you go.

Best regards,

Arnout

Gerhard Delport:
I am starting to get my gear ready for the upcomming trip to Mafia Island off Tanzania.

Although this is mainly a GT and Doggie orientated trip I can not miss out on good fishing so I am going equipment heavy in both the popping/spinning and jigging departments.

I will take lures to match the tackle I take without going over the top.

Tight lines wnd screaming reels for your upcoming trip.

Arnout Weber:
Hello Gerhard,

I understand you have to match the lures with the rod.

Raivavae is a DT and Gt orientated trip for me too.
At the moment i have the 10 pipers and 10 stick bait and 25 jigs.
The thing is specially the jigs weighting a heavy weight together.
And that is usually the problem for traveling fisherman.

When are you going to Mafia?

Best regards,

Arnout.

Gerhard Delport:
Flying around with tackle and lures especially jigs can become a pain.

You will never get in under the weight limit for airliners.

I budget for the extra baggage fees.

Will be flying from Saudi to JHB next week Thursday.

The on the 2nd of Feb from Jhb to Dar Es Salam and on to Mafia Island

Arnout Weber:
It is always a problem. I try to put as much as possible in my rod tube as possible including my rods.
But jigs are the biggest problem for weight.

That,s going to be a long travel.

Best regards,

Arnout.
