Thread: Tackle storage

Blue anti rust dividers, interesting I will have to look into them. I keep a over the shoulder bag I bought at Bps its called Freestyle, its holds two boxes, pliers, clippers, cell phone etc, it is my after work bag along with a 6ft med St.Croix spinning reel, also have a B&M 4.5ft dock shooter spinning reel I use for creeks coupled with a old 1970's style fanny pack that I keep two small boxes labeled creek, along with a pair of clippers attached to the bag with some old recoil rope from a weedeater, all these items live in the back seat of my truck. Now I have probably 15 to 20 boxes in My Tracker, I keep half on one side of the locker box they are dedicated to Crappie and Gils, seperating the locker boxe are two bags one with crappie plastics the other bass plastics on the other end is all my other lures mainly bass lures but a little of everything and then there is my most resent addition that I have no room for....my huge Muskie lures they are now a fixture in my garage patiently waiting for another trip to Cave Run lake Ky, Yes its a disease that I like.

I have my extra Keitech Plastics in the original cases in my basement in a large plastic tubs....I just fill this bag as needed! Now I'm down to my 3 rods and reels...downsizing was great for me!lol

I think my favorite addition is when I started using the worm binders for my grubs. I longline primarily, so most of my arsenal is jigs (like many crappie fishermen). The binders allow me to keep my Southern Pros in the original baggies, and I can have several per larger bag/page in the binder (so they're basically double bagged). Seem to keep "fresh" longer as they don't get as dried out or get debris on them. I also personally believe it help keep other scents off of them to, but I have no scientific evidence. And it's easy to just flip through back and forth as you need to find the color you want. And most of the bags have pockets on the insides of the cover for jig heads, nibbles, accessories, etc. and best part is no more dealing with those stupid plastic dividers in all of the storage boxes these days that never seem stay put.

I keep all my plastics separate from my jig heads and terminal tackle. So plastics don't stain from rust. And when I'm in the boat I don't leave my trays out that way water don't get in tackle trays with the jig heads and rust everything out. And i always out plastic trays.back in the bag that way the Sun won't fade them out over time.

Sorry guys, I mis-typed...the rust free boxes and blue tabs are from Flambeau....they are the Zerust line.
Tabs will stop rust up to 5 years.
