Get one of those big water proof boat bags at BPS, and fill it full of 37 series jig boxes. Then get a Minner bucket.

Ive been thinking about something easier myself latley. Getting tired of leaning down and opening a box. ABH im gonna rap my spidder rig post with pipe insulation and give to a try. Be something cheap to try and i believe it will work.
i do use jigs a lot with a single pole but 99% of the time i use our meatgetter jigs i have 8 or9 different color combinations that i use so i don't need a lot of storage. when i spiderrig i use "MINNERS" i have one LARGE bucket and a small bucket ~~~~~~!!!!!!
Coolerfull i use noodles cut down one side on my rod holders to keep jig hooks on but i have a zillion plastics. Never know what color they want for the day.
Jerry you got two buckets one for your grey minners and one for your pink minners lol.

Cut way down on your jigs you carry. I keep most of mine in the house in a controlled enviroment to protect them. I never seen them so picky, they hit light or dark colors.
DON'T USE THOSE COLORED MINNERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want the natural silver side # 6 they seam to be the best!!!
But you put them on colored Minnercritters!Quote:

Keep it simple cuz i have to agree with nimrod again on its either dark or light colors we have to figure that out quickly.. I tip jigs with minnows - i tip minnercritters with minnows and i just plain tip a hook with a minnow. Now that being said. Heck with jig storage keep a sharp eye on the minnow bucket!
I use Plano clear plastic boxes and U sort by brand names,shapes, tubes, stingers, hair jigs, creature baits, bandits, curly tails...ect. I then have boxes put together for my favorite lakes/water IE... Conway/Dardanelle. In my Conway and Dardanelle boxes I also have a mish/mash of assorted stuff in the bag still in the original bags, when it come to be too much i distribute the baits out in the aforementioned category's...I often have some bait put in a side pouch of my bag I plan to fish with so i can get to them quickly. I store my minnows in a big Frabil bucket in front of me or between my double seating, The Frabil bucket sits high enough to put my nibbles on also. Most times I only carry a couple boxes with my favorite baits... and they work most places I fish, unless im going to a lake I know ill be pulling cranks or something then i may add other baits out of the bank so to speak or when i get low on some of my favorite stuff... I'll see if the bank has some and add back into my main box.
My thought is if you can't carry it all in one medium/small bag, you're carrying too much. But I really don't know what I'm doing, so it's probably best not to listen to me. Here's all I carry:

Before I got my new bag I did do some exchanging in and out. If I found something I wanted to try, I'd cull out something that hadn't particularly worked well. I added a few new ones when I went to Nimrod, since it's so much different than the lakes I'm used too.
Am I missing any important jigs/colors? :dono
WOW I ju st put me a couple in my pocket and my B&m 11ft. ultralight in the boat and go fishin with Nimblerod :Rofl:fish
Maybe some of these may help solve some of your problem you are trying to deal with, they make them in different sizes and they store flat, and would not take up much room on the deck of the boat.

THX lake Conway, I have tried those worm bags but boy being able to see what's in me drives me crazy to find what I am looking for. Goose you might catch more fish with more baits roflmao.
you catch more fish with less baits because you spend more time fishing that changing jigs all the time !!!!!! use more MINNERS !!!!!!!!
Right now I have four worm bags packed full of plastics and five or six 2-lb coffee cans stacked full of Bobby Garlands. A Bobby Garland package fits perfectly into a plastic 2-lb coffee can and they are sealed up pretty well. Then I have a couple of the medium size Plano double-sided storage boxes for heads and weights.....don't want to run out!!! I will say I am falling behind on organization and need to spend a whole day reorganizing everything. I used to put the jigs in the worm bags into ziplock baggies but now try to keep all plastics in their original containers.
I just got one of these to store my hand tied jigs in.

Yep you need MEATGETTER 's Spanky and some Southern Pro Purple / Chartruse Umbrella tubes ""Nimrod Specials'' .:twocentsQuote:

Here are some picts.

Steve i tried the worm bags but just not convenient to hunt up a jig. I had to open every bag and then had em strung out lol. Maybe this will work for me.
Jerry u know i don't use minners. They wont fit in my boxes. Besides they only come in two colors pink and grey!!

Good looking bag.
if a man thinks he needs all that many jigs to catch a mess of fish he needs to rethink !!!!!!
Na meathead I like the pretty colors complimenting my boat. Hey Steve meathead says we got too many plastics. That's the advantage of being young we can see more than one color but I guess i could simplify and just use plain ol grey miners LOL.
Fess up I seen your plastic boxes full of stuff. Limbo, or u done went senile and can't find em anymore. You used to use a plastic tube and bare hook before you started making them critters. Who do u think I learned from baaawaaaaa.
If a man dont need all them colors then why your jig company making and selling all them colors!!!
The pot calling the kettle black roflmao
you can use 8 - 10 color combinations and still catch as many as you catch with all those other jigs !!! your always experimenting so try the 8-10 main color combinations and compare !!!!
I use the worm binders. That way I put all my black bodies (in the original midsouth packaging) in one ziplock bag inside. Then I do the same with pink bodies and so on down the line. I like to keep them in their original package so I know exactly which number I am running out of.
