Over the years I think I have tried every configuration known to man from the hard boxes with 3700 plano boxes storage to the large soft side bags and now I have finally ended up using 2 med soft side bags and for my plastics I have one of the zip up Berkley wallet style binders.

I went with 2 of the Ike Flambeau bags on my last switch. I like the flaps which fold down acting as a rain cover and the squick connects on the corners which when using the top handle eliminates the pressure applied to the zipper picking up the bags weight.

Sounds like a lot but it actually makes it easier in the boat as I know what is in each bag and it is easy to grab the smaller bag I need to access the right box rather than have to always fool with a big bag.

Also the bait binder works well as that is the most accessed bag and the binder keeps everything organized, easy to get a fresh bait out.

Out of everything I have tried this system works the best and yes I do find I sometimes switch out the storage boxes depending on where and how I will be fishing that day.

At least for me I find the multiple smaller bags to be easier to work with while I am out on the water.

A lot us of own the bags. A little clue might help every one I keep a garbage bag in the bag if starts to rain slip the garbage bag over the tackle bag. Keeps it dry.
