Thread: Tackle storage

Well, I was in the same boat for awhile. I pretty much have storage for everything now. Certain things stay in the boat all the time like terminal tackle. Hooks, sinkers,bobbers, swivels all are in a tackle bag.

For soft plastics I have two bags. One will hold two rows of minnow or shad bags or worms as the zip lock style baggies are all the same size. As for my twisters, tubes, and charlie brewers, those are the same baggies and I have a bag those go in.

For my walleye jigs, I buy boxes from Meijer in the auto department. They are about 25 bucks each and have removable boxes.

I know some buy different boxes from harbor freight.

Can you snap me a pic of the Meijer boxes, when your by them next?

They are Stanley boxes. About 12x14. Black bottom, see through top, yellow removable bins. They come in multiple depths with heavy locking clasps and are stackable. The thin ones are great for tubes. I like that each bin comes out. I'll shoot a pic tomorrow. Pm me your number and I'll text it to you.

Have all kinds of boxes,tackle bags ect!! But a fishing friend showed me a pack like kids use for school.Put baits in fly boxes and carry just what we need for that day!! Will hold 5 or 6 of the small fly boxes !! hope this helps!!

10/4 I made a side trip to Meijer today and found some like them.

Okay, post the pix. of the boxes.

Sorry it took me so long to post a picture of this.

These are Stanley boxes. They are made in several depths. I purchase the larger ones to hold all of my walleye fishing jigs in different sizes. The one pictured holds some of my jig pouring stuff. They come with an assortment of box sizes and I find that if you purchase two of them, you can customize each box with the correct sizes you would like. They also sell shallow depth ones for smaller jigs, terminal tackle and tubes. They are stackable too.

I use my barn to store tackle , it would not all fit in the boat ..even if I had three boats!!!!
mostly I use plano storage boxes, clear so I can see in them.
I was pulling bandits down south in tournaments a few years ago, probably have a couple hundred of them.......
my name is John and I have a problem.....OTBD (OBSESSIVE TACKLE BUYING DISORDER)
making my own spinners for walleye now, so you may see me in various craft shops looking at pretty beads.
oh I also have a couple of the big tote bags that are made just for plano boxes, so if I go for walleye I just load a couple bags up with my walleye tackle , if crappie, , just a quick swap of plano boxes and I am good to go!!
