Follow up ?: What style of tackle box do YOU prefer & why?

[BloodStone]

The newer big Bag style, the older plastic multi-tray style that unfolds when you open it, or the plastic style box with the 3-4 various removable Plano 360 style trays & separate spinner bait box? Just curious. Just might give me some inspiration to come up with my own unique configuration. :-k Thanks in advance

:twisted: I carry a plano soft bag with four boxes. Then I carry one seperate box for spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and buzzbaits.

I've used this one for about 7 years now.

It holds 5 plano boxes, with plenty of zipper storage. I like it because I can use the should strap and have my two hands free for carrying something else.

I got a huge bag made by berkley on sale at BPS last summer. I can;t find it online anywhere, but I love it! Has a built in light for night fishing, side cooler, bait binder, and a rain cover. If I ever find them again, I'll buy a back up for sure.

I used to carry the Okachobee Fats bag from walmart..It held like 8 3700's. Plus had pockets everywhere. Once I got it full of tackle it was way to heavy to carry. I have since downsized to a new Plano soft sided tackle bag that only holds 4 3700's but I don't use them. I buy smaller boxes and seperate my stuff out. I will try to take pics and post here in a little while. It is working out the best. I also carry a seperate box just for spinnerbaits/buzzbaits. It is just a BPS spinnerbait box. I tried a Browning spinnerbait binder and didn't like it.

I use a back pack that is converted into a tackle bag - especially when NOT boat fishing. On the little boat - a few Tupperware type plastic boxes. One with soft plastics and one with other stuff plus a small plano tackle bag for assorted tackle (not lures) pliers, leader etc.

On the big boat - it has built in tackle storage :mrgreen:

Here is the one I used to carry, I use it now as kind of a "warehouse"..I keep all my extras in it then I refill my current smaller one when I need to.

This is the one I carry now and how it is set up.

 

[Froggy]

I have the exact same as you truckmechanic, just switched this year from many different sizes hard boxes, I also have a waistbelt pouch when I am out there trout fishing in the big woods.

I like the soft bags. I carry a BPS Qualiefier 370 like the red one above, only mine camoflauged. It holds 6 trays and It is VERY durable! I lke them because they are easy to carry on your shoulder and seem to fold a alot of stuff!

I like the soft bags too, but I still use my Dad's old tackle box. You can see it in the bottom right corner. Feel like I got a piece of him with me when I go fishing.

Interesting that no one really goes with hard plastc boxes/cases anymore. Are the bags really THAT much better?
Here are the ones I am currently contemplating buying (the Plano sells at WallyWorld for roughly $43.00).

"Interesting that no one really goes with hard plastc boxes/cases anymore. Are the bags really THAT much better?"
I still use he old plano style hardcase open chest style. It opens up and there it all is. Since I minimumly fish five lures it fits my needsjust fine. On a sperate note, my fishing partner has a bad habbit of leaveing it unlatched. Nothing is more disturbing then grabbing the handle to pick it up and you dump it it out inside itslef. :twisted: I've just about got him broke from that habbit.

Im a fan of the Tackle Bags. I can stuff my gear and most anything at all inside and be set for the day!!

 

[Loggerhead Mike]

Ive got a bag w/ 5 box's in it. I need a big'r one, got 2 spinner box's with no where's to fit. usually leave um on the boat and kick myself in the butt when im fishing on somebody elses boat and realize i forgot to bring um

 

[Specknreds]

I have had a lot of trouble with all my tackle getting ruined. Don't forget I fish saltwater. For some reason or another my tackle would get wet, ruining eveything I had. I also may be on 2-3 different boats each weekend so I need to have everything with me. I saw these Bass Pro boat bags on sale one time and they have solved all of my problems. It is waterproof/resistant. I added 5 utility boxes and still have room for my rain gear, gps, camera, TP (you never know), and just about anything you would want to carry including lunch and snacks.

I also use my dad's old hard plastic tackle box, reminds me of good times fishing with him. Plus, it holds all of my stringers, pliers, bobbers, etc...

gotta agree that this bag is great

Our Walmart did a refit of the fishing dept last year, and for whatever reason, they have stopped carrying all of the bigger soft-side tackle bags. They mainly carry the hard plastic type now, and just a few really small soft bags.

I have the small-size version of that bag (BPS Boat Bag - yellow in color, w/o the top bungee cords), and I use it to store an additional pfd and extra plastic baits at the moment. They're built pretty sturdy!

Good thread. I just can't seem to break the habit of the old classic multi-tray tackle box, but I do like how organized
the tackle bags are, and your tackle won't fall out the compartments if tipped over.
