Im in the market for a new tackle bag and boxes, and saw they Plano FTO elite bags. So my question is, did they merge/join to make these bags?

Would these bags be better for FTO boxes? (I really like FTO Boxes  ;D)

plano bought all falcon tackle stuff few years back

Yeah, PLANO bought Falcon a while back.  The new Plano Elite bags are designed for the PLANO style boxes.  The Falcon bags work best with the FTO boxes.  But the FTO boxes will work with the Elite Bags though, just not as well.

Later,

I use a simple back pack. I just buy plano utility boxes and keep most of my baits in their bags. the back parks are easier to carry and not as bulky as tackle boxes and bags.

@adclem, I've been looking for Falcon Bags, but cant find any anywhere. Do you know where i could find some?

Falcon doesn't list they have any on there website.

Tackle boxes do we ever have enough room? Are they ever big enough to hold everything?

The plano 9600 will fit tackle bags in the bottom.

I just purchased the biggest plano box that they manufacture. The 9600 barn style box. I just fit all my topwater lures in one box. Now i have an 8606 box for my cranks but i need another 9600 box to fit some of my cranks so i can carry cranks and minnowbaits in one box. I'm trying to scale down how many tackle boxes i have to carry. The 9600 box emptied two smaller tackle boxes so far.

I carry now;

crankbait box(crankbaits/minnowbaits(rapala's)

topwater box(spooks/ poppers/frogs/prop baits/spinnerbaits)

weedless box(top props/ weedless spoons)

plastics box (plastic baits/carolina rigs/weights/hooks)

Scent (a carry open box that i made)

Plus 4 or 5 fishing rods just to fish from shore. I use everything most of the time.

But i also have;

livebait box (hooks/ bobbers/ weights)

night fishing box

panfish/crappie box(smaller plastics)

Large bait box(northern Pike)

Large boat bag filled with everything from above,most of it.

Before i had around 17 tackle boxes full of stuff and no way to haul it all. If i had a boat i'd need another boat to haul my tackle my son said.

I have no clue how to haul it all with me, i do use most of it. I have fun fishing. I don't think i'm a fishing hoarder yet??? I do rotate my lures time to time to give them all a swim too. Kidding but i like throwing different lures.

I started buying up stuff before i got sick because i knew it was comming that i was going to be disabled and i could just fish for the rest of my life. I actually fish out of the back of my car now where i can.

My point is if i can get 3 or 4 of the 9600 plano boxes and haul most of my tackle i'm a happy camper.
