how do you carry all your tackle?

[BassKnuckles]

Does she stay out there with you or do you send her home once you're set up?

Nope, she leaves after everything is set up and I just call her 30 minutes before I leave and she comes back out and packs it all up.

I'm usually back home and taking a nap by the time she gets back. It's kind of nice.

I'm sorry but that video is too funny.

I use a tackle bag, works well.. Nothing to fancy and small, not as bulky as my summer tackle bag..

All my jigs and spoons go into Rose Creek boxes and then those go into a Strikemaster soft-sided bag. I can carry all the other accessories i need in the bag as well (pliers, hemostats, extra gloves, split-shots, etc) Each Rose Creek box can hold up to 120 jigs and the spoon boxes hold quite a few spoons as well. I dont have to worry aboot paint chipping on any of my baits anymore either.

do the guys who use the rose creek jig boxes have issues with the smaller jigs falling out? i had this problem so bad i gave up. any tips? I now have a gray plano box that has two flip compartments to hold all my jigs then i have a very small 6 compartment plano box i keep the hot jigs in if i know what they are.

[Bobb-o]

with the smaller jigs, i push them down into the clips then pull them forward so that the hooks slide under the holder. I have never had a problem with them falling out when doing this.

That is way too organized!!

[creepworm]

I put my jigs and other necessities in small plastic boxes and then put them in this bag. Along with my vexilar, tip ups, and fishing poles.

It is somewhat clumsy but it is nice to have everything somewhat protected and in one bag. Early ice, I just throw this on my back, auger in one hand and minnow bucket in the other and can hike a long ways comfortably.

I will second the Rose Creek boxes. They are awesome! Also love my Stone Legacy rod bag, Otter Sportsman's Caddy, Today's Tackle Tackle Pouches, a few Plano 3700's tucked in a Cabela's soft sided case. Sounds like gear fetish, I know, but it really does help you stay organized.

I came to the conclusion that I'd rather be fishing than changing tackle. I figure my game plan before going out and if I'm targeting panfish then I bring 5 different rod/reel combos with my favorite go to jigs so if one's not working then I just pick up another rod. I do bring a small box that will fit in my coat just in case but just trying to eliminate bringing everything but the kitchen sink.

I can't find it on GM's HSOforum but I just picked up a cheap $20 house brand rod bag with 2 pockets (to hold the tackle box, gps, headlamp, etc), sure beats the game of trying not to tip over the bucket in the sled with all the gear on the way to the honey hole!

Clam has some functional jig boxes. If I am panfishing, I use the small jig box.

Walleye, I have a Vexilar 3pk.plano with carrying case, stores all my spoons and jigs. I however put 1 of everything in a Clam Med. sized jig box and it fits in my jacket or bib pocket. Those jig boxes float in the hole.

I use an old Fly Fishing Vest that I had laying around. Plenty of pockets. Needs to be big enough to wear over winter gear. Most of the time I leave it draped over one of my portable seats.

[Pleasant]

I have down sized also I just use 2-3 or more original Plano 3450 6 compartment stowaways. favorite jigs in one. favorite spoons in the other. and the third has miscellaneous in it. they stow nicely in an old padded NEC computer bag I had

I've got more ice junk than I know what to do with. It was starting to overtake my shack. I've got one big massive box that I leave in the truck. It has a bunch of plano boxes that are all sorted with stuff. I've since learned to just bring 2 boxes for whatever I'm fishing tailored to what location I'm fishing. That's it. If that ain't working, go hit up the big box for a curveball to try. If it's massive run/gun style bring 1 box and stuff a couple emergency lures someplace in the shack for backup. That's it. I learned this lesson up on Winnipeg. My 1 box fell out on the trip out and I had one magnum size 6 chubby darter and a large glow red buckshot. Fished all day and worked them (most on the darter). Buddy had some backup tackle if I got broke off. He kept on the same chubby darter the whole trip, never changed. Best trip of our lives.

My Clam chair works fantastic for me! Just use a few jig boxes of your choice. Plenty of room for everything,great place to sit and works as a great work bench for those mid lake adjustments and repair.
