Lately I've taken to using small plastic boxes to keep all my fishing gear, bare jigs in one, RR's in another, Hair jigs, solid tubes, hollow tubes, shads...the list goes on but I do this instead of using large tackle boxes. Got each box labeled. Easier for me to find stuff instead of rumbling through those big tackle boxes. I don't always take all the boxes depending on time of year and conditions. I don't know that this is the best way, just started doing it. What do you do.
That's what I do..have a 3 box tackle bag for rigging..and a 7 box for long linning..have about twenty 3600 boxes to use as needed.. Cranks are organized in Shipmates...and have a 3 box tackle carrier for others than Bandits, and Arkies
Is this tackle bag something you buy that the boxes fit in.
Yes, then you can switch out boxes as you wish
I like the hard box as well..this one holds three 3700s, plus two small parts boxes
Gonna have to check one of those bags out
Lol at cabalas'..they got some good ones
Just purchased the cabela's deluxe fisherman tackle bag. 60 bucks it has room for 7 -3700 boxes also pouches on all four sides and top .i used to use the big tackle boxes but I really like this bag now that all my stuff is together and labeled so much easier to find what you looking for and easy to put back .and easy to see when you getting low on supplies .
I got the large . It is set up foe the smaller 3600 boxes..I started our years ago with that size..normally can make 18 compartments...When I like a lure, say a stroller, I buy 18 colors...keep them all together ...keeps me from over buying, because I could not find something
i bought a bass worm binder for my plastics, keep hooks weights rr's and hand tied jigs in plastic boxes. want a wire box organizer for my front storage compartment
I ain't hot a clue what a 3600 or 3700 is. I'm not that far removed from a cane pole.
Plano uses those numbers to designate different size boxes...3600 series is the small one..I usually like to make them 18 compartments..3700 is larger..I make them into 24 compartments..just depends on what I want to store. There are several interior designs for each of these sizes
When you look at tackle bags...usually you can buy them with or without a set of empty boxes included
Going by an Academy today, will check.

I just purchased this one a couple weeks ago. It holds 8 of the 3700 boxes, It only came with 4 but thankfully they were the same size as my other smaller tackle bags held.
BPS had their 360 and 370 boxes on sale last week, 4 for $10. Same size as Plano's 3600 and 3700. 24 per case I bought a case of each. Shelf price is $5.99 for the 360 and $6.79 for the 370.
walmart had a good clearance sale on some tackle bags with boxes years ago. I got 4 that will hold 4 3700's and 4 that will hold 6 3600's for $5 each. I've been given a few as gifts over the years too.
If you are thinking about buying a bag that includes empty boxes, be sure the boxes are a plan you like..
I use worm binders they come with 10 resealable pouches and pockets on the side when they are completely full they are about the size of a dictionary you just unzip em and get what you want zip em back up they store real easy also
I must be the biggest redneck cause I use a ridgid tool bag I leave all my jigs in original packages and I put my jig heads in plano box and chunk everything in that bag like extra eyes and glue, hand held gps , leatheman and a couple Huslers for when the fish arent biting.
Oh and my Mimi never leave home without it
guys with that much equipment spend most of their time changing lures instead of fishing :RoflQuote:

Cabela's and Bass Pro love most of you guys. I take a small plastic box with a few choice skirts and jig heads. Fits in my pocket. Way too much time spent trying to overanalyze and outsmart crappie. Just enjoy the time on the lake! :) Maybe there needs to be some restrictions on gear per boat. Ha.
Maybe they just decided to start biting when you changed..............Quote:

Im pretty sure he got plenty of ideas. Getting off topic is what makes this site fun to be on because it not all about business personally I like it when it gets alittle off topic makes it fun. but I do understand it if your looking for a certain answer but lets be honest there are only so many ways to store something, rig a double minnow rig or hook a minnowQuote:

The plastic boxes at Walmart are a lot cheaper in the kitchen section if you don't need compartments.
I think the shoe box size is 0.88. Not sure of the others. Kroger had a bulk pack of 8 shoe boxes on clearance for $5 last week, I got 2.Quote:

Do you take them out of the original packaging and spray em when you put em in the bags. I got boxes but keep em in their packs.
