[fishon] I am going to be putting a small kit to have in my truck at all times cuz lets face it you never know when an opportunity to fish might just pop up. the main species ill be pursuing is rainbow trout but i want it to be more of a multi-species kit. Largemouth bass, bluegill, brown trout and and occasionally nothern pike are all common species i can pursue on a whim. i live in New Mexico so keeping soft plastics and live bait are a no go as it can get quite warm in the summer. size and colors would be a great help!!!

Years ago I put together a small tackle box that I can put into a suitcase. In it I put some common baits that I use. A couple different colors of spoons at least two or three of each. A couple pencil bobbers, plain hooks, a couple bubbles, a small spool of line to use as leader, a couple spinner baits, and a couple of cranks, and yes some jig heads and a package of grubs or jig bodies. Since you don't want plastics go with marabou jigs instead. Since the box was small I only put in what I used.
The color choices for me are as follows:
Spoons- red/white
Fire orange/white
Spinner baits- chartreuse/white
Cranks- shad color
Jigs- chartreuse
For your box go with what you use there. And don't forget your terminal tackle. Sinkers, swivels, clips, etc...
Hope this helps.
