plastic bait storage

[Wil Holmes]

I use plastic containers as well and seem to be bigger and bulky in my storage box. I see a lot of people take the soft plastics out of there bags and put them in plano boxes Im just not sure how long they would last in a plano and I would think moisture would get in the plano boxes. Im going to watch this thread maybe some good ideas.

I use the large 2-3 gallon ziplock bags. I label each bag with the type of plastic it holds.

I have a small nylon bag that has a double zipper on the top, probably about 2 or 3″ apart, so the whole top zips open. Its the perfect size to stack bags of worms. I put them in there by type, and color. So I can find them easy. I also have a hanger system under my lid (home made) for quick access to the ones I use the most.Something like this:http://ww.dealwinwin.com/wwwimages/prod … D28507.jpgI dont know the dimensions of this bag but, thats similar to how mine is made. I stack them in there standing up. You can get a lot in there.13 PIV w/ 200 MercIG: WarriorRiverCustomRods

I too used gallon zip lock bags to store my worms and other soft plastics in their original packages. They take up much less space than a “folder” or some type of tackle bag. I can switch them out depending on the season and the type of fishing I am doing during a given time of the year…plus they are cheap! I dont like the “holders” that you attach to the underside of lids.

They are about a dollar each, and have zippers. I label each across the top with the type plastic inside. Work pretty good.

i have tried the zip lock bags and they work great and save space, but after awhile i noticed it wasnt organized the way i like so i bought some shoe box size 6qt. sterilites and they can be stacked or stood up in the boat storage since the sterilites have plastic locks on them and work even better than the zip lock bags. so for me i bought more sterilite takes more space but i like the organization it gives. $39 for 12 of them.Last edited by socalpIII on November 19th, 2013, 8:57 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Same as socalpIII. $3.00 each for lid/box at Wallyword. 3 for soft plastics (40-50 packs) 1 for spare hardbaits in pass. rear storage compartment. 3 behind in driver side rear storage for toiletries and first aid kit, towels, and 1 fully stocked crappie bait box (when the bass are slow).

Planos work great for me , but all I do anymore is “fun fish ” , with an occasional tournament . — Hard baits or soft , Planos galore . — Ive got the Cooks rack in one box , and the plastic bags kept tearing out and falling off the clasps when it gets rough . — Hoss Last edited by BIGCATTER on November 20th, 2013, 8:30 pm, edited 1 time in total.
