Tubes and senkos work great there especially the salt and pepper tubes

Thanks... To clarify I am more familiar w/ TX fishing the WA fishing and know what is popular down there... senkos etc.  But I was looking more for info about the WA specific baits, that I should buy up here bc I might not here about them again down there.

The panic minnows I saw in the demo tank (2 inchers) I wouldn't want to take down to TX.  I'd take something a little bigger myself    For WA waters, the panic minnows look great.  John, do you got any big worms, and definetly keep all your swimbaits.

My suggestion: Try not to think like a Texan - take everything you learned in Washington with you.  In my opinion, that puts you ahead of a Texas fishing culture that thinks only within it's regional experiences.   The worst thing you can do is let someone down there tell you "That won't work here."  For example, there are sections of our country that are just now starting to adopt the "dropshot" presentation, which we on the West Coast have been using out here for years.  

I agree with Rodney - thinking "outside the (Texan) box" promises to give you an edge.  I remember when the Don and Ron twins came here and fished Silver Lake for the first time.  They picked all the wrong spots, and used all the wrong lures, and... well, you guessed it - they kicked our butts.  

Hey, if 2" worms work here, what makes us think we have to trade that in for 12" snakes just because Texans like everything big.  I like a big meal too, but I tend to snack all day long.

IN short:  take it ALL with you!  (You were going to anyway, weren't you?)

There's a couple of days I'm sure I can use it but thanks for the offer Rodney
