I just got that cabela's super mag, and love it.  It holds everything!  If you get it I'm sure you'll be happy.  Just a warning if you fill it up, like I did, it will put a strain on your shoulder.

While I was at Cabela's one day I picked up what they called a German ruck sack for twenty bucks. I am going to use it in my boat for my soft baits. It looks like an old Army bag and has straps like a back pack. It has a lot of room in it and you should be able to get a lot of plastic boxes in it. Should be perfect for bank fishing.

For pond fishing, I like to use a "backpack" type tackle bag.  I have a blue-black one I bought at BPS during their Christmas sales.  It was like $10 or $15.  It might only be something they carried during Christmas, cause I haven't seen it since.

The backpack is MUCH easier to carry around a pond than one with just a shoulder strap...especially when you carry as much tackle as I do. ::)

Go to Walmat look for the big OCHEECHOBEE FATS tackle bag comes with 5 worm binder inserts and 3 huge plastic snap boxes and the bag is well made and holds up total price 19.99 cant beat that . I have a smaller version for a few years I outgrew and really like these bags for the money!

Which every bag you buy leave your plastic in their orginal bags.

  I agree 100% a backpack works great, It is what I always used            

But,now I've found a better way when I go pond fishing

   

,I downsize my tackle,I once carried everything with me and wouldn't touch about 3/4 of it.I now carry one small box,and one bag of mixed plastics.These fit in my pocket or a fanny pack.Makes things easy and more enjoyable(JMO)

I mean,Do you really need ,25-30 bags of plastics? If so i'd say your changing

baits way to often.Somtimes you need to change your presentation ,not lure or color.

GO to an REI store or REI.com, Look up daypacks. I have used a half dome bag for years for bank/river/stream fishing and hunting and everything else I do.

Be careful with what bag you get, especially from Walmart. Every bag I have bought from there, the zippers wearout quick if they ever work right. Flambeau's are the worse.

Yea, i have the okechobee fats tackle bag that muddy mentioned. I love it. IT actually has 4 giagantic cases, and the pouches are big enough to fit some smaller cases in, and the back and front pouches can hold another big case each! As for your plastics, buy a worm binder.

The bags that plastic come in will keep then from drying out also it has a label of what inside.  A lot of  plastics are not tackle box friendly.  They will melt and stick together.

yea i agree with BUD one day i fopund an old tackle box in my garage that had some nice worms in it but they were all trash bcuz they had melted to the sides,and practically every other lure in there

I use a fanny pack sometimes... Most of the time when I bank fish, I take a small plano box that fits in my back pocket (hooks, weights, beads, one or two hardbaits, etc.), 2 small baggies of plastics (also fit in my pocket), my scale, and my pliers. If you have a car and you drive to the lake, keep your main tackle box in the car and carry what you need (sorry just looked back and realized you are 14, sorry). You can always go back to the car to restock what you carry. Once you know what works on the lake you are fishing, it becomes easier to limit the amount of tackle you take... Hope this helped... :)

My wife got me this Okuma bag for Christmas that holds 6 large plastic containers.  I keep pliers, scales, scissors, 2 scent bottles, and 2 small plastic boxes with extra rod tips and finesse plugs in the outer pouches.   I also have a large worm binder with about 20 odd bags of plastics and another small worm binder that I use to carry my spinnerbaits.  I just undo the shoulder strap for the Okuma and run it through the handle on both worms binders.  I carry my gear this way in tournaments, as a nonboater, and when I bank fish.

I have the XPS 370 bag...and it holds A LOT of stuff.  I've just about outgrown it :) but after this season I'm gonna fish and keep a note of the stuff I never throw..and then its coming out.

Anyway, if you're allowed to spend the 80 bucks the bag costs, then you'll like it Im' sure.  It can hold upto 11 boxes I think, maybe 10..if you want it to.
