HEY BIG, I USE THE PLANO BOX F0R MY SPOONS AND HARE, AND THE MAXIMIZER (SOMETHING LIKE THAT) CHEST BOX FOR MY CRANKS,GLIDERS AND TOP WATER. THE MAXIMIZER (YOU CAN GET AT GALLIONS, REEDS, THORN BROTHERS) CAN HOLD JUST ABOUT ANY SIZE LURES.

HAPPY HUNTING

I have a Flambeu "Chest Style" box, about the size of a Coleman cooler. It has the plastic dividers, and each hole is about 1 1/2 inch square. (maybe a little bigger)

I like the capacity of holding a ton of lures, but I don't like not being able to see my lures. I use the bucket setup, and then I have a bunch of the Plano Stowaway boxes, in my softside boxes, in the boat - so I can see my lures. In the big chest/cooler tackle box, I can only see the hair of a bucktail, not the spinner size or color, and with my cranks and jerks, I can only see the back end. I sort through my Chest of lures and take what I want for the day, and put them in the bucket and clear stowaway boxes, so I can see all my lures when I am on the water.

This seems to work for me.

I HAD TO WORK OPENING WEEKEND BUT GOT TO GET OUT THIS MORNING. TOUGH AT ALL DAY, CRAPPIE WEATHER. WAS PACKING UP TO HEAD TO WORK AT 1PM AND SAW A SPLASH BY A DOCK SO I GRABBED A SPINNING COMBO WITH A PLASTIC WORM AND STARTED TO PICH IT UNDER THE DOCK IN HOPES OF BOATING AT LEAST ONE FISH BEFORE I WENT HOME. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A 48 INCH MUSKY WITCH WRAPED AROUND THE DOCK AND GAVE ME ONE HELL OF A FIGHT. SPINNING COMBO, 6 LB TEST, BASS WORM, 20 MIN FIGHT AND SHE WAS IN THE BOAT WITH NO NET. 7 HRS INTO MY SEASON, WHAT A WAY TO START.

HAPPY HUNTING
DUCK

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
