Thread: Storing your baits

I seem to store most of mine in stumps and brush piles!

That is where a lot of mine are stored. I put mine in the plastic see through boxes.i have 6 boxes full in the boat.

I leave all mine in the original package.I have a small bucket like thing I sit beside me when I am fishing that has 5 or 6 bags of what is hot right at the moment.Have a tackle box with another 10 or 15 different things in a easy access top compartment. Then everything else goes into gallon ziplock bag. One bag fits in the tackle box.If I take another bag I put it in a compartment on the boat. I have tried everything...finally decided I like keeping the jigs in original bag for best preservation. I have fast access to whats catchin' em right then,good access to the second runner ups,and if nothing's working seems like I can dig through or dump em out of the big ziplock and eyeball em over easy and stuff em back in. I still use a couple of the zip tackle bags with the ring binders that hold individual bags and they are nice...but I think when they wear out I am just gonna put em in a big ziplock.

Much like doggone, I also leave all of mine in the original package separated in a tackle bag. I'll keep a small assortment on the bow of hot colors and then go into the bag when things are slow and I'm experimenting with some different colors and sizes.

i put a few of mine i want to fish with in a zip lock sandwich bag (mostly solid chartreuse, blue/chartreuse, and purple/chartreuse), put in a bit of virgin olive oil to keep them moist, and sprinkle them with fresh pepper and sea salt. The crappie seem to like the taste or smell or something. I never take more than 20 or so on any one trip so I don't spend all day changing colors.

Plastic worm bags at wal mart work really good hold a lot of jigs

Mine go into snack size portion bags or quart size freezer bags in a 5 gallon bucket.

so do you tote the bucket when you go fishing or just what will fit in your pocket.
