Plano FTO crankbait and spinnerbait boxes


Superduty

Recommended Posts

Haven't seen any of the 3700 size locally yet. Not even online yet most places.

I love the FTO system, but always hated that they were odd sized. Switching over to the new ones and decided to use the 3600 size for hard baits like cranks. Forced me to thin the herd quite a bit, which is good. Still cant beat the 501 and 502 for jigs and terminal tackle, although the jig box is worthless...

Of course, I now have a bunch of the old crankbait boxes taking up space in my fishing room. I'll use 'em for something smile

Cheers,

Rob Kimm

I found a couple places online with the 3700 but only 3600 locally. I'm curious as to how zara spook type baits fit in these too. I hate grabbing 4 baits at one time with 8-12 trebles wadded together! mad

I gave up on the FTOs for topwaters and just kept them in a regular Stowaway, although the Lipless Crank FTO box wasn't bad. Don't know if there will be something similar in the new Plano versions. All I've seen is large and med cranks, and the spinnerbait and buzzbait boxes.

I love my FTO's, but I get torn between having more organization and more lures. I'm sure most bass guys will know who wins that battle.

The spinner-bait one and buzzbait ones are good since I don't throw those much.

The limited space deal is great. Made me really justify every lure I put in the box - especially hardbaits. Eliminated a lot of dead weight in the process, and probably won't miss any of it. I did the same with muskie lures a few years ago and am convinced I catch more fish as a result. Will see if the same holds true for bass...

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
