Tackle Tour Part 1: Soft Plastics & Terminal Tackle

Well here goes...Part 1 of a review of my tackle and in this video we look at my current soft plastics and terminal tackle as well as how I store them all. I go into some background about how my storage methods have changed over the years and if you look closely enough, you'll get to see some oldies in my tackle boxes.
Sorry for the length, I can talk too much.

Dang that is a ton of tackle boxes. I love how they are all labeled and organized.

[@WindyCityBassin]

Thanks. It's only organized bc its winter. Once I'm into summer, everything becomes a mess again. Thanks for watching.

[@scottmarshall5352]

Ur brush hog box, bait in question is a Gambler Bacon Rind

[@possessedbyhorror7349]

Nice vid so inspiring

[@WindyCityBassin]

Not sure about inspiring, but it does make me need to reorganize my tackle!

[@Michaelb2127]

Awesome tackle video

[@lannyluckyj3227]

I like the safety pin 💡

[@Keep_It_Loaded]

Nice, very well organized

[@WindyCityBassin]

Thanks, it's winter, so it's organized. Wait until July and it will be a mess again!

[@deadlee4473]

Nice video. You got a ton of stuff. I got some good ideas from you. Thanks

[@WindyCityBassin]

Thanks, appreciate it. I do have a lot, maybe too much.....no, that's impossible :)

[@jakesgopro6524]

tons of awesome lures man!

[@WindyCityBassin]

Thanks man. More to come....

[@ringlerjustin1]

In the last couple years I've really limited my tackle purchases. The advantage is that you can spend more time learning the ins and outs of each bait. I like having a small catalog of baits, knowing what I can and can't do with them.

[@cosminpopescu9761]

I love your video!

[@Larry77777]

Hey Windy: great organizing techniques; the bigger the collection, the bigger the challenge. I like your labelling (you even labelled yourself "OCD" ha ha). I found that most sizes of original full bags fit nicely inside a extra 8"x7" freezer SLIDE LOCK bag cheap from Dollarama. This technique prevents the mfr's label from wearing off, AND I like to put back bait after use (the used but still recycleable bait) BETWEEN the two bags for next time out.

[@WindyCityBassin]

Good tips. Thanks for checking out the video. Yes, lots of stuff makes things tougher. I'm sure next year I'll have some other form of storage.

[@laceyheller2939]

The brush hog type of baits is a gene larew brush hogs I have a few packs myself and I really like them

[@jeronjohnson6764]

Thanks for the feedback on my other channel was wondering what other things I should get to make my videos better

[@WindyCityBassin]

No worries. Thanks for checking my channel out. Good fishing!

[@samatherton6502]

Great vid man!

[@BassGeek]

Nice soft plastics man. I have a ton of junk but I fish tournaments so I have to be ready for anything.

[@WindyCityBassin]

Yeah, you've got a lot. I've seen and am jealous. I haven't really gotten into tournaments. There aren't many big lakes near me, so I'd have to travel a ways, but I may try a few this year. We'll see. Thanks for watching.

[@BassGeek]

WindyCityBassin anytime you want any advice just yell at me with the tournaments and by the looks of this you have no need to be jealous. Your ready for tournaments.

[@WindyCityBassin]

Will do. Big fan of your channel so thanks for offering. Jealous of your recent meetup with the pros!

[@BassGeek]

WindyCityBassin that is mutual my friend. I'm happy we ran across each other

[@samkrause8418]

Same with the lizards man 😂😂 I have so many bags of lizards that I'm probably never going to use 😂

[@WindyCityBassin]

Damn lizards, might have to do a bit more Carolina rigging this year and hopefully get rid of them in some bass' mouths.

[@tanorallen1680]

What size box do you use for storing your soft plastics?

[@ringlerjustin1]

Good video. Your like me, too much stuff....ARe those yellow tabbed boxes 3731's?

[@WindyCityBassin]

You can never have too much stuff...lol. I think they're 3701's. Nice boxes.

[@jasonmeadows2103]

Gambler Bacon rind

[@redneckracer3517]

Do the lizards work?

[@catfishnation1781]

love the strorage its clean if you can find everything how do you fish? ha ha

[@mitch3963]

You should also make a video on catching sturgeon because I really want to hook into one this spring. Even if you were to get my number I just have questions and of course I could spend money on heavy gear but to me that's not worth it. I've been watching videos on people using dead fish and catching sturgeon, they're also using really big hooks as well.

[@WindyCityBassin]

I did that sturgeon video a few months ago. I didn't really get into what I was using, but I keep it simple, small hook and nightcrawlers work very well. It's all about location on the river though. Sounds like you guys went on a bad day last year. It can be hit or miss.

[@tomwarrenfishing]

Do you know the name of the Plano box you used for your terminal tackle? That's exactly what I'm looking for

[@WindyCityBassin]

Yeah, I believe it's the Plano 3701. Check tacklewarehouse of bps. I got mine at bps. They're pretty nice and could be used for other baits as well. I though about laying out jerkbaits in them as mine are all bunched up and hooks get stuck together.

[@jackfarley1348]

Can you please do a video on your vintage heddon lures?? I am super interested in vintage lures

[@WindyCityBassin]

I'll keep that in mind. I did want to do some sort of video on my old lures, but wasn't sure if there was enough interest. I've got tons of heddon, creek chub, shakespeare, pflueger, and all sorts of oddballs. Its even more expensive of a hobby than fishing!

[@dragsmoothfishingtv635]

Damn, you have baits for weeks brother. 🎣🇺🇸👍🏻🍀 utilize them slowly, try not to buy anything unless you run out of that certain package. Awesome collection 🤘🏻

[@WindyCityBassin]

Thanks man. It is a ton of lures, but some of them are quite old. This is 20 years+ of collecting, although a lot is in the past 5 years. It's slowed down considerably as I've been able to hone in on some key baits/companies in each category. Thanks for watching!

[@JBWAngling]

Oh man I wish I had half of those baits. One of these days I'm gonna come up there and we'll have to catch some fish! I just started using a drop shot. Using a bubblegum color trick worm for a challenge on my channel. Anyways keep it up bro, loving the channel and watching the growth!

[@WindyCityBassin]

Thanks man, much appreciated. Always open to collaborations.

[@JBWAngling]

I'll see what I can make happen. Where are you located? How far from Chicago are you? Also if you don't mind giving me a sub I would appreciate that as well.

[@WindyCityBassin]

Subbed brother! I'm about 45 minutes from downtown. 1/2 hour from Ohare.

[@brycedallasfishing1926]

Chippewa county and eau Claire is where I fish most but sometimes go fishing up north, down south in Wisconsin. What about you.

[@WindyCityBassin]

I fish around the Dells a few times a year, but focus on sturgeon in the WI river mostly. Otherwise I'll bring the boat up and hit up Geneva or Delavan. Haven't fished much else up there though. I'll be up there more in 2017 though. So many more lakes than IL.

[@catfishnation1781]

I try to down size but I still take too much

[@charlesmunoz5308]

Nice video 👍🤙😎just wondering do you do give aways?

[@cmpunk1288]

Does anyone else hear jack black talking at 4:06

[@BartsBassin]

i feel ya about jumping on the bandwagons. but I'm starting to see that you gotta accommodate to what people wanna watch. nice video though bud

[@WindyCityBassin]

Thanks. It's true. A few months ago challenges were the big thing. Now that winter is around, people are doing rod/reel arsenals and tackle tours. Maybe one day I'll be able to lead more than follow. Thanks for watching and tight lines!

[@timwoodley2752]

That soft plastic was a Gambler Bacon rind

[@tackleandtires4568]

hey man great meeting you the other day at three oaks. check out the channel i subbed to you. great content!

[@WindyCityBassin]

Thanks guys. Any luck out there? I subbed to you guys as well. I always like seeing other locals fishing.

[@tackleandtires4568]

no luck, we kept seeing one follow and even slowing down didn't do any justice. lets go fishing together sometime man, in a few weeks we will be taking the boat out. your more than welcome!

[@elboregojhb]

add JJ Magic if it looses it scent.

[@WindyCityBassin]

I do have some JJ's around for those occasions. :)

[@elboregojhb]

then you have nothing to worry about! All good Homie!!

[@OverDueAtom799]

why do u need all those baits

[@WindyCityBassin]

Good question. I don't. Over time I just continue to collect. Maybe hoard is a better word!

[@OverDueAtom799]

WindyCityBassin then why not just do I giveaway or throw it away or give it to a friend

[@ermis33]

+WindyCityBassin - you should do a giveaway to build your subscriber numbers -

[@WindyCityBassin]

Hmm... I've got some plans under wraps right now for when 1k arrives. Stay tuned.

[@gnfishing2526]

Good video! But hers a tip don't swear and u will get more subs! Like so he can see

[@gregwilliams4201]

Dude dont worry about it just go fishing....

[@bucksbassfishing6459]

How are you getting so many subs so quickly? Lol

[@WindyCityBassin]

It's been a blessing for sure. I just keep posting and trying to improve.

[@juliocardona3374]

Bucks Bass Fishing I see you spamming all of the googan squads videos... don't pretend you don't know how he's doing it... I watch a lot of fishing and you both spam a bunch of other people's videos to gain subs. I've seen you both... it's really fricken annoying...

[@WindyCityBassin]

+Julio Cardona Sorry man, I just appreciate people coming out to watch. Thanks for watching.

[@NolanAndrewsFishing]

Yeah man, how you going to gain subscribers if you dont put yourself out there! Loving the videos!

[@brycedallasfishing1926]

Great video love the quality. How do you gets so many subs I'm growing and need subs for giveaways.

[@WindyCityBassin]

Not sure how so many subs have followed, but thankful they do. Where in WI are you? I head up that way a number of times each year to fish.

[@brycedallasfishing1926]

Mostly in the eau Claire and chippewa county but sometimes will travel up north and I have Canada footage we go there every year for walleye
