storage

I keep all of mine in the 3700 planos. I was just "refreshing" the other day and I counted 23 boxes full of stuff. I'll normally take about 1/2 of them with me on any given day, depends on where I'm fishing and who I'm fishing with. Seems to be the best way I've found so far.

OK - let me get this straight - most of you guys take the plastic out of the original bags and put them directly in the 3700's? The Powerbait stays OK? For how long?

[TonkaBass]

have you ever let powerbait sit out??? that stuff NEVER looses its mojo!

I didn't like the Planos for soft plastics. I use them for terminal tackle, cranks, top-water frogs, and a few other things.

For soft plastics I use the gallon freezer Ziploc bags. I label them "Slug", "Senko", "Tube", "Lizard", etc... and store them in a couple soft-sided tackle bags. I keep "hot" lures handy in one of the bag's outside pockets.

Some Ziplocs are labeled "Tube II" if I need more room, but then they are divided by size or color.

Powerbait is fine out of the package, Gulp! is not safe outside the original package.

I use Plano 3700s and the big pocket on the back of my gear bag to house my plastics. Divided out by type, tubes, worms, stick worms, trailers, creatures, etc. The back pouch of the gear bag is stuffed with Gulp! and extras.

If you are concerned about the scent get the waterproof ones. They hold air a lot better.

Hiya -

Now, for most of my plastics I use Falcon Speed Bags. I have double bags (1107s) for grubs, tubes, and creatures/craws, and single bags (1105s) for drop shot baits, jigworms, stick worms, and jerk shads. I like the speed bags because if I'm fishing tubes, for example, I can grab the bag full of tubes on my way to the front deck, and they don't take up a whole bunch of room.

I use the Falcon speed bags myself and for now this seems to be the best solution. I'd really like to see a system where the bags are included and can be removed if needed, but are secured in the case. The bags themselves would have to be a heavy duty plastic and have a zipper type closure rather than the traditional style press and seal zip lock. I'd like to be able to just unzip the bag and grab the bait.

Some of these things sound trivial, but I'm always looking for products that better organize your baits and are easy to use.

I have been through a lot of tackle trays and found that the old 3701's work best for worms...especially the longer ones.

Why doesn't Plano have a specific-for-worms (worm proof)tackle tray?
