Bait Room

[Esox_Magnum]

Finaly got around to making a room in the basement into my bait storage, got a good start on it today still have rod racks to mount on the ceiling and lots of sorting and orginizing left to do but the muskie gears all ready to go.... Who else has a designated room, garage ect for your gear and lets see them...

Alright. Get to see whats in your tackle box. Is that a Krisco with a soft tail(black body orange tail)?

[Esox_Magnum]

Yes custom one I picked up a couple years ago. Blue ones full of Mag Dawgs,Curlie Sues,Super D's and Medusas, one not pictured is a Lakewoods Spinnerbait box with my Wades and gliders, black ones empty and used as a spare on trips.Planos are topwaters,trolling, and spare bucktails, big white thing on the floor is my livewell insert full of DCG's

Oooh. A livewell insert. An obvious idea that hasn't been too obvious to me! Looks like I might be running to menards to grab some vinyl downspout tonight for a little project. Thanks!

I think RK is the one that got using the down spouts to make your own storage units for muskie lures last year. " Thanks RK" Guys have built units for around seats, storage lockers, and i used the idea to build my own muskie tackle bag for a lot less than what one costs.

Note!! Go back to page 8, look under "tackle box for musky lures". This will give you all kinds of ideas!

I wish I could have a room dedicated only to my musky gear, god knows I have enough to fill it up. Still a college kid though sao all my gear is pilled up in box after box aqnd stuck in the garage. Looks great Esox, when I get my own house the selling point for me will be if there is an extra room for my musky gear haha. Looks great though and nice work, I'll more than likely make one myself one day just like it.

Hiya -

I'll see if I can take a pic or two of mine. We have a 22x15 addition on the back of our house, and the basement under it is my fishing room. My 5-year old calls it my "fishing office." The amount of stuff in there is pretty sickening frankly - even after I thinned it out with a garage sale. It was unfinished when we bought the house, so I finished it off, put t&g pine all the way around it. Bookshelf along one entire wall, a workbench, storage and rod racks on the other, built in cabinets for reels, clothes and tackle boxes across one end wall, and a rack across the ceiling for rods that are too long to fit vertically in the wall racks. Lures are hung from the floor joists above.

For inserts and just cheap tackle storage, downspout works great...

Cheers,

Rob Kimm

I have a 24 by 28 "shop" that is dedicated to my fishing goods... I use it for building rods, making crankbaits, pouring jigs, airbrushing baits, and as a good escape from winter! Two tables for rod building/pouring/tying jigs and such. Peg board to hold plastics and unopened baits. Shelving for storage of miscelaneous items. A couch for relaxing and a couple of lazy boys for relaxing/ airbrushing station. Rod rack on one wall, but need to put one on the ceiling for the longer rods... Will try to get some pics up soon...

my basement is going to be set up for rod building. possibly decoy carving and of course my bait tank.

Its under development. so it will be a while before completed
