BUYER'S GUIDE: TACKLE STORAGE AND GEAR MANAGEMENT

[@bobgibbs4105]

“When the sickness takes over.” That landed hard. 😬

[@jimwarden9617]

Fun. We’re sick but it is fun. Thanks.

[@chugmugger]

I feel like your beard match your personalities perfectly Tim is well kept up just like his storage and mat well it bushy and all over the place but altogether at the same time. Ps my beard is out of control hence why I'm watching this video🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tacticalbassin]

Ha! That's a pretty funny observation

[@joelcrow]

We should create a “fisher of men” charity where folks can donate extra/excess tackle and gear to new or struggling anglers…like a Goodwill for fishing gear. I never see a fisher with 2 lures and one pole, always a dozen boxes and partial hoards of just in case extra stuff. We could help each other enjoy the sport and make space for more toys… The internet brings the qty of people needed to scale it up to work….it’s an idea!

[@jpulsipher04]

It would be awesome to see how you organize at home (garage, tackle room, etc.). This video was fantastic!!

[@youtubzkoz]

I have a ton of this storage already! I'm missing a few... so i'll have to buy them because I HAVE THE SICKNESS!!!! AND I LOVE TACKLE!

Thank you for showing all the Plano products that you guys use. You said it right when you said that this is a sickness and I have it. I love Plano products because of my OCD. I must organize everything. You guys don't know how much I appreciate that you list everyone so I can make my Christmas list and give it to the wife. Lol. Thanks again.

Ha! You'll never get weighed down by global issues here. You can always trust us to stay the course and get a mental break when needed 👍🏼

[@danham3344]

Great video! I’m not sure if anyone in your families are “crafters” but my wife is and she uses ‘transfers’ for making signs or on re-purposed furniture. The transfers come in clear plastic tubes with slide off lids that have an eyelet for hanging. These are perfect for holding compressed A-Rigs with the baits attached. You can hang them to store or just stack them on their sides. They keep them perfectly and 3 or 4 take up almost no room in your boat. I just turn over the label that comes inside and write which A-Rig is in the tube on the back so you can see it by just looking at the tube. You should check them out. Anyway, thanks for yet another quality video.

I'm going to be traveling a lot more this year to fish a few tournament trails so this info is of great use to me! That EDGE series is so, so great.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Also expensive. Is it worth buying that over their basic 3600 and 3700 stuff?

[@alexrobertsfishing]

@@TheMichiganFisherman Definitely expensive, I get that. I personally think it's worth it over the basic stuff for the integrated rust inhibitor alone, but they're such solid boxes that I'd rather spend a bit more and get quality for many years more than the basic stuff will last.

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

@@alexrobertsfishing Thanks, bud. I’ll look into them a little more. The anti-rust might make it pay for itself I guess 👊🤨

[@jessefoust7826]

Thank you guys. Awesome information. God Bless you.

[@gameopsdk]

No boat here just a kayak fisherman but I don't know if you've tried them but I like the wraptor tackle roll. It's not the best for everything but I really like their soft plastic storage roll. It's the best thing I've found for non clamshell storage and it slides right under my seat. I also use their starting lineup roll for technique specific stuff. I use one for all my top water baits, I'm not really into crankbaits as far as bass fishing goes but I use another for all my walleye crankbaits and the bottom pouch holds my bottom bouncers(had to trim about an inch off to make them fit). I'm still looking for the perfect kitech storage solution, right now it's either grab 4 or 5 and throw them in my fishing backpack or throw em in the drawstring bookbags with my 68's and trash fish.

[@michaellaird2581]

Wow! Lots of gear guys but you do this for a living. Great info on storage and you brought up some aspects I have not thought of. I mainly fish from the bank and carry an orvis sling but am constantly reducing/organizing my tackle for the day. Appreciate it!

I have a few of those boxes mentioned. I’m curious how you store your buzz baits. I throw a lot of buzzbaits and have a problem w/storage.Thank you guys for all the great tips & info. How about Kayak tackle storage. Maybe an episode covering just storage for kayak fishing would help many. I’m only fishing from a yak now, and I’m looking for ways to efficiently store tackle without cluttering up small space. I just can’t seem to take only one box. Much appreciated!

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Sometimes I use boxes that aren’t even made for fishing for large lures. I fish on a yak as well and I totally understand about keeping the storage minimal.

[@jdrinkh2o]

Plano makes a spinner bait and buzz bait specific box. It's the older version, not the Edge. It's awesome, I'd you want all buzz baits you'd need to buy some extra clips as it comes setup for both spinners and buzz when you buy it.

My only real problem is double buzzers and I still haven't found a solution I love

I love how some of the baits (jackhammer for example) show weights actually on the bait. Is there an easy way to identify jigs by weight? I was thinking about putting a color on the hook where the plastic would cover it. All 1/4 oz. jigs , for example, have the same color code? Anything easier?

[@CT393]

The timing is so that everyone across the country can catch them before going to the lake or work. They come out at 6:30 AM Eastern Time 👍🏼
