Arkie Minner Teasers with a straight shank sickle hook. Have been very well pleased with them since I made the change over, lot of material in each and good length too, you can trim them down if you like but I haven't found a need for that. Arkie is putting out a very good product!!!!
These are Donnies knatsAttachment 228935Quote:

Yesterday I went to bass pro and bought some of those 3700 boxes they have on sale 4 for 10.00. They divide up to 24 compartments per box. Perfect for Gnats and plastics and will fit the larger cloth bags.Quote:

Too many boxes for my low storage express. I put all my same colors in a small ziplock bag and then use a worm bag. Can get 4 x the amount with less space used.
I have all my plastics in worm bags as well, use these for my Minner Teasers and Arkie 220s, works great.Quote:

Under the front deck I have an anchor, net, paddle, 24" golden rule, ropes, 6 life vests, dry box, a large bag of about 30 worm packs, a tackle bag with about 6 3700 boxes of crappie jigs and cranks, a drop shot bag, a wacky worm bag and I could easily carry another 20 or more of those boxes. I also carry a very large tackle bag with 9 boxes of baits, a medium bag with 5 boxes of jigs and about 10 jig poles and 10 bass rod and reels along with two 4 pole milenium holders and an 8 pole rack. And my partner usually brings a large and small tackle bag with at least 8 rod and reels. I don't see any storage problems with my Xpress HB20. "D"
I use ziplock baggies for all my plastics storage too. Boxes just take way too much room. I put all the same style plastics in a bag, all different colors together. I think it's easier to pick out the color I want through the baggie, than trying to see if it's a straight tail, curly tail, or paddle tail through it. Fewer baggies this way too, especially if you carry a ton of colors and fewer styles.Quote:

The 18 foot has a hatch in front of the front live well but things tend to roll back to the drivers side and you gotta stand on head to get em out. Not very user friendly. There is a small storage on the front step up deck that I use along with a rod box I use. Putting tackle boxes in them that are big is not an option. There is two small storage boxes one on each side of back boat and with wind socks and chains in them they are full.
Express would have better storage if they had a hatch in front of the driver cockpit on the deck next to the live well. That way you could access that dead space.
Just my two cents. I keep my big bag strapped to the deck in the back as no compartment for it. There is limited storage under the seat which isn't user friendly. I use that for my boat documents and extra oil for motor and extra life jacket.
Probably difference is 20 ft vs 18 ft. Only bad thing I can say about the 18ft is lack of storage. Could do with out a rear live well and use that for storage IMO been better. Have tried to plug off live well but didn't work too well.
18' and 20 have the Same storage. Rod box length is the only difference.
The quote "dead" space on either side of the front live well is for--Port Side, rod tips and longer items in rod box, Starboard side, rigging channels for front electronics, and other add ons to the console, etc.
The boat has Flip storage in bow, large storage under feet in front deck, rod and accessory storage box, storage under the seat bench, and two small storage compartments on rear deck.
I wouldn't trade my rear live well for a trailer full of gear or storage. I keep my tourney fish there and my culls (eaters) in the front live well. My rear live well has Recirculating Areation, and the Oxygenators in it. If you put a plug in it, it will not leak, just like the plug in the boat hull. Live wells are not made to be water tight from the top tho. They are made to keep fish not gear.
I have an express and storage is one thing it lacks compared to my other friends boats. Still like it but also wish there was no dead space in front of the cock pit too. Or maybe a hatch to better get to that hard to get to space. Good riding boat. Very stable.
