Why the smallest BlackPak Pro is the best

[@MrBassTV]

There's this crazy concept out there. Not sure what it's called, but it goes something like this: You buy one crate and when you fish for smallies in the river, you pack it with baits for river smallies. When you are fishing for largemouth, you take out the smallie boxes and put in new boxes with baits for largemouth. Crazy concept for sure, but a lot of folks do it that way. Lol

I’ve dumped it out and started over in the past. As often as I switch gears from one to the other in consecutive days, this is more convenient.

[@G_The_Fishing_Reel_Tor]

This is crazy and absurd

@@XploreAz if it works for you I guess it makes sanse!

[@charleslefebvre5515]

If he's fishing for different species often enough. It would save time and hassle to just have dedicated boxes for each.

[@michaell1665]

Checkout Lowes' Kobalt crate, recently on sale for $17. They are sealed on the bottom to keep tackle relatively dry in tankwell. I cut the bottom off of one and made a hinged cover for the other. I had rod holder from older rigs but prefer to mount rods on my rails. Not a IP67 rig, but will keep rain and major splashes off my gear... for about $35!

[@jackstein5486]

Thanks for the assembly, super helpful!

[@TheLittleStuff]

They come together pretty quick once you see the right direction to add panels.

I absolutely get the three different 13 x 13 boxes. I just picked up a used Hobie Pro Angler 14 Mirage 180 and am opting for the Lake largemouth only and having sold an older bass boat but enjoyed having the variety of baits, niche techniques I am opting for the largest 16 x 16” size. New subscriber, enjoying my first vid of yours!😀

[@TheLittleStuff]

Thanks for watching Jack!

[@SavageVoyageur]

I understand your concept with having many boxes for your different fishing. You must be fishing much more than the average person does, and this is a time saver for you. I have the time to sort through before my trips and load the Plano boxes I need. Thanks

[@TheLittleStuff]

For years, I have made a habit out of dumping the entire contents of my BlackPak on the floor and only putting back in what is seasonally appropriate. It keeps us from being bogged down with too much tackle that works on last months best patterns.

[@steinerp]

Where is the video about what you put into each of the boxes? That is where I struggle most when minimizing

[@Oldmangonefishing]

just what I was looking for. in the process of down sizing my bass gear. and in the process of redoing my lynx. this will be the box i need. just to bad the Plano edge don't have any swim jig boxes. need to find one for them.and get a 3600 for my tackle since the 3700 won't fit. thanks again for some great ideas 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheLittleStuff]

I keep reorganizing my tackle, trying to put away what I am not currently using. Seasonal changes mean different gear goes in, and I have to make room!

[@Oldmangonefishing]

and I have found out that Plano edge does have a 3609 jig and small crankbait box.

[@zoommaster7253]

Good stuff Jeff. Im always on the fence. Sometimes I want very minimal With me and other days I want it all and on the Lynx it’s a challenge

[@TheLittleStuff]

The Lynx is a perfect minimalist boat! Go light. Pack what you know will work!

[@CrazyCranker]

Excellent video! I can see the method in your madness-lol! In fact, this video helped me in deciding which size to buy. :)

[@TheLittleStuff]

Right on! I’m pleased with multiple 13 x 13’s.

[@georgefitzhugh6455]

Thanks for sharing

[@steveeichelberger806]

How are the ‘near’ horizontal Tether Tube rod holders working for you? I’m considering the 13x16 BlackPak for my Crescent Lite Tackle if I can get at least one ‘near’ horizontal Tether Tube per side. I think the tank well is wide enough with the long end of the BlackPak going front to back of the kayak.

[@TheLittleStuff]

I like them, but I don’t always use them. I always use the horizontal Omega and Omega Pro with the SideArm link so they are staggered side by side.

[@davidegrillanda580]

Thank you so much for your videos Mr. Little. I wanted to ask you if it was possible to mount three rod holders per side horizontally on the Black pack Pro. Have you ever tried?

[@TheLittleStuff]

I think that if you went with the AR Tubes and a double header with one Tether Tube below, you can do it. I would have to play with more parts to figure it out.

[@davidegrillanda580]

@@TheLittleStuff Thanks for your kindness Mr. Little, but I don't understand. I'm Italian and I don't know AR tubes. If I bought the Black pack pro 16 "× 16" then You think that I would not be able to mount the rod holders supplied, three on each side, horizontally? Many thank's for Your time.

[@CrazyCranker]

@44:54 Do those 90's on the back interfere with opening the lid? I wanna do the same thing and put my lightpole and gopro pole back there. :)

[@TheLittleStuff]

Nope. They stayed out of the way.

[@timothythompson6549]

I think putting in some toolbox liner would go a long way for mitigating noise.

[@TheLittleStuff]

In the BlackPak or in the well of the kayak?

[@timothythompson6549]

@@TheLittleStuff blackoack, I don't know how well it holds up to getting wet though. I tend to be less than graceful putting boxes back in my crate on the water.

[@davidwolf7351]

Been pondering buying the 13x13. Just afraid I'll end up carrying more stuff than I do now if I get one. How is the Active target working out and has anyone tried using the Hobie peddles for their foot steering for the 1103 on an Outback? I want foot steering but there is not much room in the Outback with my size 13 clodhoppers.

[@TheLittleStuff]

I wear size 14, and my Outback with foot control steering works. I left the ActiveTarget at home last time. I need to get back to it!

[@CrazyCranker]

Do you know what size screws or bolts fit them holes?

[@TheLittleStuff]

I don’t. I just used the ones that come with the GearTrac.

[@CrazyCranker]

@@TheLittleStuff I emailed YA CS-#8 X ½” Long Flat Head Blunt Tip Screws. They also related, if you drill any new holes in it, you void the Life time warranty-Oops-lol! I could care less about the warranty, drill it till it's dead!
