Here is my version of a compact fishing kit. My approach here is a freshwater mini tackle system, suggesting you would already have a rod & reel. The Plano mini tackle tote really is the key ingredient here. I started out with it because of its overall size & then filled it with basic tackle that I’ve had success with. A streamlined tackle box isn’t only extremely portable, but also it helps in keeping focused on fishing instead of swapping baits constantly. This is a video totally geared for discussion in the comments section. As always I appreciate all the great feedback as it helps me to look at my system with a fresh perspective & maybe learn something new. I hope this video sparks some ideas for you as well. Take care
A complete, and detailed, tutorial of how to gear up at the water using drift fishing techniques that work for Salmon, Steelhead, Trout, and Bass. The tutorial covers Gear, Techniques, and Fishing Secrets to covering water effectively without getting snagged up on substrate typically found in rivers, streams, and lakes.

@darknessfalls714 This kit is set up for ultralight fishing tackle. I would go with #6 or #8 hooks
@CampfireTalk what size hook do i use i bought it bt need to know how to use it
@darknessfalls714 small mouth normally, but sometimes you’ll get a surprise.
wat do u catch with the power grub?
@megalamark I appreciate it, thank for watching megalmark
great vid thanks!
Great little tackle box. I’ve been thinking of trying to find something small that I can carry in a pack and this would definitely fit the bill. Going to pick one of these up for sure. Great vid and review!
Guide Series is put out by Gander Mountain. If you can’t find it for sale they probably have changed the name of the rod. Hope this helps.
@bill00337 Thanks for the recommendation, that’s what great about this forum is getting tips and/or recommendations from other sportsmen. Take care
Not that I promote any particular company, but sportsmans guide sells an extendable rod for anyone who likes to have a pole around but can’t fit it in their pack.
@CampfireTalk thanks i’ll try one next chance i get out fishing.
@FixedByDoc You don’t say, well it’s a great lure. The rooster tail is similar to a mepps in line spinner, but cheaper at the cash register. I hope this video gave you some ideas. Take care
i dont know what a rooster tail is. lol. actualy i dont know much about fishing but do try to. thanks for you video. it helps me determine what i might pack in.
@MudDobber247 Thanks MudDobber, Carappiesickness also made a comment about the Gander Mountian rod. The rod was given to me as a gift & I didn’t recognize their logo. I appreciate the feedback from you. Take care
2:20 looks just like mine!
that rod is made by gander mtn. their symbol is next to guide series.
@CampfireTalk – dude, how did you know what color I dyed my hair?
@cpmower Maybe I’ll bust out with fuschia in my next video : ) Thanks brother
@eyespy0099 Thanks eyespy, I here you on small kits that have a lot to offer. This one is geared for a specific purpose, but I could chance it up per situation or bring a larger tackle box.
Nice setup sir! Thank you for sharing!
I like that you referred to the color as “chartreuse”..haha.
Seriously, good stuff though man! Have fun on your campout!
great setup. i’m not much of a fisherman myself but i am fond of small compact kits and this one is definitely a good one.
@Cr0cket20 It can be a problem if I gut hook a fish, but that’s a tough situation even for needle nose pliers. Thanks Crocket : )
Love the telescoping rods. Still use mine from when I was a kid. I use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove hooks. Like how skinny they are to get the hard to reach hooks. But I see the squirt has so much more versatility. Might just have to change out my needle nose. Do you find the squirt pliers easy to get the hooks out?
@hinckleypoland No problem HP, the book really is great. I’ve thumbed through it a hundred times & still enjoy it. take care bud
i really enjoy watching your videos, sir. pls also watch my cast net fishing videos. I also added you as a friend. thank you and good luck
The single most important thing is to keep the pressure off fish; if you can see them they can see you and won’t bite. This is one fishing rule that is constantly over looked and a common mistake. In that situation I’d get as close to the water as possible and then try to fish it. Spinners and drifting gear are the fastest ways to entice biting fish, and they will bite once they don’t feel threatened.
You can find this and more fishing secrets in my book Steelhead & Salmon Drift-Fishing Secrets
hi, i enjoy ur videos and i really need your help. I am going salmon fishing in the next week, and the river iam fishing in is only about a foot or 2 deep (at some points its like 3-4 feet deep) , so you can see where the salmon is, the salmon is chinook salmon, found in southern ontario, near toronto, (oshawa) and i would like to know the fishing set up for that kind of fishing, and what kind of bait i should use. thanks ALOT!
@Soldevi89 Most of the time I don’t like to give out geographic locations because these fishing techniques work anywhere. It’s something I avoided in my first book on purpose. I do fish the Pacific Northwest/Southwestt but also the Midwest, and East Coast. There’s a lot of fishing to be had and these techniques work absolutely anywhere. I fish fresh and saltwater environments and looking forward to the release date of my saltwater fishing book.
nice video
nice video great info and good discription
nice video – some of the best spots are around boulders
I’ve enjoyed all your videos. I’m just starting out fishing and the information you give is great. The main problem I’m having is finding that good piece of water to fish on in the river. Do you live here in Washington?
Lots of good info. Good videos,
