Very nice Brad. Mate if you haven't already I'd consider changing your jig swing assists to wire. I've lost three doggies in the last four months because I didn't. They're all wire now.
10 should be a sensible number, but realistically by the time you bring a couple of this, one of that, maybe one of those that you've never used before just to try...
Less than 30 and you'd be doing well. 20 is a good compromise.
I'd say for a five day trip, two-three poppers burnt would be a reasonable number. Most of the lures die not from getting pinged but rather from being smashed to bits.
maybe I over packed looking at that lot??? I thought I was being selective with my gear but you've certainly pruned harder than me. I reckon I'm gonna go 8kg over, but that's without strapping jigs to my thighs for the flight.
Would love to be standing next to the metal detectors atthe airport when you two go through!!! They would be screaming lke an air raid siren!! Will take a complete strip job to silence the alarm

Swing Assists
Very nice Brad. Mate if you haven't already I'd consider changing your jig swing assists to wire. I've lost three doggies in the last four months because I didn't. They're all wire now.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Don't worry about wire
Don't worry about wire assists. Doggies don't have razor teeth like hoo or macks.

Soupster, if its giving you grief try split ring-solid ring-split rings. Crimps, wire and heavy drags usually end up in tears mate!

Anything more than five and you'd be wincing.
