Setting up our first West Coast Salt Water Tackle Box -What to buy?, What to Buy?

[Deepaaaar]

I'd add a couple o' Mac Deeps or similar jigs as they'll catch anything you bounce them near (salmon, rockfish, ling, etc.).

I would buy as I needed. Like for instance, your first trip might be a winter Chinook trip on local water. I'd go to the local shop and buy three flashers. And a couple spoons. Then if you go for may 1st lingcod buy that gear. Eventually you'll end up with a bunch of stuff you put more thought into. Rather then bulk buying stuff you may never use.

I was just saying to my wife, hearing all of the great names of these lures make me feel a bit like Tatoo from Fantasy Island as all the new guests depart from the plane and are introduced

Thank you all for your help on this. I really appreciate it.

This is the hootchie/flasher combination that caught most of the salmon on our Winter Harbour trip this week. White/silver glow with a large red bead inside. Known as a Morning Wood, dunno why. Lol.
