The budget is a little tight actually. In fact most husbands work hard
to hide their fishing tackle expenditures.

LOL! Well, I guess I'd rather he spend money on fishing tackle than a lot of
other things I can think of!

You gave a lot of really great suggestions but I think since, as you say,
the budget is tight, let's see if we can back it up just a bit.

What are the absolute must-haves for ANY tackle box? What is the standard
size hook? Would a small knife be useful, or perhaps small scissors? Would a
spool of line be useful or not? Are those little red and white plastic
bobbers worth having?

Pretend you're buying your child's first tackle box and you want to cover
all areas in a very general fashion, allowing him/her to choose what he/she
wants to upgrade to.

Seriously, right now he has nothing, so I really just need the basics that
all fishing folk must have.

Thanks again,
