Fantastic resource! Thank you for sharing. Most anglers don't. Its interesting how you mentioned how unknown those Weavers are…. I've never seen or heard of them, and they are made 14 miles from my home!
Great job on the tackle choices, Mike – I ordered a dozen or so Grabber spoons. One question i dont think many viewers/subscribers have asked is, what/which St Croix rods you used? All my rods are Fenwick, with the exception of my down-rigging rods – 11 ft Ugly stick all the way for their superior durability, flexibility, and warranty, when thrashing around large chinook salmon.
Note: I've been eyeballing the Trout Series – TSS70LXF2. It's a 7ft two piece light action. Or perhaps the Premiere 7ft two piece medium light.
Hi, thanks for showing your tackle selection and accessories. like you I'd rather cover all my bases than be skunked out in the middle of no where with very little choices. you never know, they could be hitting a copper color lure and all you have is an orange one. my question is have you ever tried using rubber worms instead of live ones?
Enjoyed your insights. Why do you prefer mono for specs?
I'm the same–much more fishing gear than one would normally bring, though as a soloist I narrow it down to two rods per trip. Also, I started using a backpack this year to carry my tackle, and that's been advantageous on portages.
Currently looking into getting a couple of lightweight rod/reel cases because I'm tired of my rods snagging on branches and such on the trails—not to mention the potential of damaging them. Have you ever taken this approach?
I like the idea of a spoon with a worm trailing on a leader. I don't think the tackle looks excessive. In fact, I would add a fly rod and a box of flies but that's me. I would imagine your son is about ready to jump out of his skin in anticipation. At his age, I used to get so jacked up for fishing trips that I couldn't sleep for a week before we left.

What size of weaver grabbers do you typically use?

I can def agree with you on the soft plastics I was just up north in Maine and I caught most of my fish on a little soft swim bait
What lures do you recommend for lake trout in Algonquin?

That kit is larger than my entire tackle box…lol! Wishing you & Bren a great trip!
