Tackel Box or Tackel Bag.

[mbjannusch]

I grew up using a tackel box and always had one to store my lures, plastics, jiggs and what nots. Mostly ended up stinking like old catfish bait I left in there for a few months. I think we all have done that on occation. Never the less, I am looking to purchase a new box/bag. I will travel the 85 miles to the closest Bass Pro Shop next weekend and hopefully pick one up. My best friend has a Spider Line bag that has several ABS storage containers with individual spaces to store all the crap we come up with. I'd like some suggestions on what to get. I'm leaning more towards a bag simmilar to his but I'm not quite sure... By the was Chuck Buck is supposed to be at the Bass Pro Shop in Rancho Cucamunga CA. The 12-14 of AUG. for those who care. Thats the real reason I'm going but I need a tackel storage unit.

M/B, in the last several years, I have switched all my tackle storage to soft sided bags. I am currently using a Browning Top Loader when we take the boat out, and also a Browning Goliath soft plastics binder. I have all my hard plastic baits, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, lipless, and jigs put in the Plano FTO series boxes and organized by weight, color, size, etc. This way I can switch out the boxes and only take the baits I will be using, depending on which lake we are going to, time of year, weather, etc. Makes it a whole lot easier this way, trust me. If I know we are going to a lake that is only 12'-14' deep, this way I am not dragging along my 15'-18' crankbaits when I know I will not be using them. The soft plastics works the same way. I bought extra sheets for the binder and have divided up the worms, grubs, creature baits, lizards, trailers, etc. and switch these out as well.
Hope this helps you. If you do not have a ton of tackle, I would still recommend a soft side, but only in a smaller size. It will still allow you to take only the tackle you will be using that day.
Good luck with your choices . . . . :thumbup:
Be safe.

Thanks for the info, Thats kind of the thought I was having. I like the way you break up the things you have as to the lake you will be fishing.

I prefer tackLE bags. Depending upon size they have alot of different little tackLE boxes within that you can put gear for certain species of fish, quite modular. I use a flambeau AZ8, called the bigwater at wally world.
