Lure Kits Make Sense for Many Fishermen Today, there is a myriad of lures on the market for freshwater fishermen. By contrast, there are relatively few 'kits' or 'selections.' This is kind of hard to understand, because in many instances, kits make perfect sense. Sure, if you have a favorite lure, it certainly helps to "load up" on them. But, in many other situations, a kit or an assortment may be a better choice. The most obvious example of kits being a good alternative has to do with beginning fishermen. Well-stocked tackle boxes take time to build. In the interim, it is often better to have "a little of a lot" than "a lot of a little." In other words, rather than spend your entire tackle budget of several bags of a couple of different worms, for instance, it may make more sense to buy an assortment that has a few of several different plastics. The Creme Lure Texas/Carolina Rig Kit is a good example of this. The kit comes with a couple dozen plastics, ranging from worms to lizards to creature baits. And, it comes with hooks, beads, swivels and weights for rigging. As a bonus, it comes with an attached booklet on how to properly Texas-, Carolina- and Whacky-rig these plastics. As time goes on, if an angler develops an affinity for a certain model and/or color of plastic found in the kit, they can always buy them in bulk bags. In the meantime, they've got several sizes, colors and shapes to choose from to match different conditions. Beginners aren't the only ones to benefit from kits. Kits are also good for experienced anglers who are stepping outside their normal routine. For example, a hardcore saltwater angler who only occasionally dabbles in bass fishing may be better off buying a kit or two, rather than trying to stock up on loads of things they may or may not use. Ditto for bass fishermen who make an occasional foray for panfish. Plus, when you're trying a new type of fishing, you often overlook something. Whereas kits usually include everything you need to get you fishing. Finally, kits are a great way to try new or different types of lures. Again, you can get a variety to try instead of locking yourself into one or two models. This isn't to say kits are perfect for every situation. However, they are far from being "just for beginners." These are just a few of the instances when buying kits make sense. And, with many budgets around the country getting tighter, often times making sense comes down to dollars and cents - another great reason for buying a kit.
