Favorite Soft Sided Tacklebox

[Tippman]

After seeing the thread about soft sided boxes vs. the hard style I figured it's time I better switch over.

So what are your favorite brands or models? I'm thinking it will be nice if I can convert my 2 hard sided boxes into one soft box.

I have a Gander Guide Series bag that holds 6 3700 size boxes. I love it. Never had any issues with it. It has some zippered compartments that are weather resistant, and a huge pocket on the back. Bass soft plastic jerk-baits in the back pouch, crappie and gill plastics in a side, walleye ringies and gulp leeches in a side pouch, and more bass plastics in the front pouch. The front pouch also holds the fishin tools and the headlamp. It has a nice shoulder strap that comes in handy when I need to carry it anywhere. I haven't weighed it, but I would imagine in is about 40 lbs or so.

There are other bags out there, Cabelas makes some good ones, as does BPS. I picked the Gander one because it was on sale at the time I needed to get something better going last year. I wouldn't be without one now.

A friend of mine just ordered the smaller shimano borona. I will be able to check it out next weekend and see how it is. I just have the large shimano water proof bag. I really like how much stuff it carries and also how it keeps my jackets dry and such.

is the plano flipsider considered a hardside or softside. If it is softside I love it, so many side compartment to store extra stuff.

Bass pro has one that is great, don't know the name of it. I found the exact same design at Wal-mart for 35 bucks,(they were 70 at BP) It holds 6 large plano boxes, and has enough room for almost all my non muskie tackle. I think its called an Okeechobee flats?

there's a lot of good ones, anything that can hold lots of clear plastic boxes is good in my book. heck even a small gym bag that is just the right size would work in a pinch

I was all over looking at these recently. From what I found, the best balance of quality vs price was found at Wally World.

(funny as I was typing this I read setterguy's post above). That's the one Okochobee Fats. I think I got mine for $25

I've become a big fan of the Shimano series of soft-sided tackle storage systems. High-quality gear thats designed for the serious angler. The binders are tough to beat for housing all your plastics and hooks. Keeps things very organized...

Just went out and picked up one at GM today. A GM brand...made for them by Flambeau. Nice and big like my old plastic cooler.

Going to take some time to get used to, but I think I will like it. Just have to refresh myself on where things are.

the okochobee bags are a great value- I've got a couple small ones... more than enough to hold what I use for very small coin.

Cabela's Super Mag soft-sided tackle bag. Plenty of room for plenty of tackle and gear!

Hiya -

I'm with Matt on this one. Love the Shimano Broadway system...

Cheers,

Add another vote for the Wal-Mart Okiechobee Fats bag, very cheap and holds everything I need.

I just picked up my first soft side the Plano 3372 it was on sale for 25 at MF reg price 35 and it will hold 4 3700 boxes or 6 of the 3771 series. I like so far as I can put the ice fishing boxes in the bag and not have to bring up a second box.
