Bait organizing

Featured Replies


For those of you that don’t keep your baits in your boat when organizing your tackle do you have separate boxes for example do you have a box of Megabass jerkbaits only and a box of x jerkbaits and pack which one you think you’ll need or do you just make one box to take of a variety of jerkbaits or any other style bait another example shallow lipless box and deep lipless box

I just split them up by bait type, but not by brand.  I do split my cranks up medium diving and deep diving, my squarebills are split by 1.0 size and then 1.5 size.  That is about as specific I get as of now!  Could change at some point I am sure!  haha

That’s the way I store them. Not much hunting around. If I wanted to switch to a Zoom Finesse Worm I have them in a plastic Rubbermaid like container and that is all that is in there. Along with some terminal tackle. If I wanted to throw SK 3XD they would be in a 3700 style box. I would have a few standard Series 3 in there but no Bandits would be in there. They have their own box. My tubes I have combined, only use Case, Strike King and Zoom versions. I also keep various tube jigheads in there also. Rapala DT’s have their own place also. ShadRaps would not be mixed in. And so on. Label the box and things are easy to find. 

I just split by type........I'm in a kayak and can't bring the entire store with me.

 

Right now I use a lot of 3700 thins........I can fit more boxes in my crate and it forces me to bring less of the "Store" with me.

 

Crankbaits (Normal 3700)

Jigs  (Normal)

Jerkbaits/glidebaits (Thin)

Topwater  (Thin)

Plastic worms  (Thin)

Creatures/paddlletails  (Thin)

Terminal (3600)

Spinnerbaits (Worm Binder)

For long term storage I split by type, sometimes even brand or model, if I have enough of them.  For actual fishing, I split them by rod I use to throw them.  One box might contain a couple spinnerbaits, some suspending jerks, poppers, and spooks since I throw them all on the same short, MXF rod.  Another box might have traps, squarebills, buzzbaits, and some swimbait jig heads that I'd use a 7 MF rod for.  Plastics all go in a speedbag.  Terminal stuff is in a Edge box.  Most of my stuff, save for big swimbaits is in Edge boxes these days.  All that goes in a crate or a waterproof boat bag.

When I get to having enough baits that I need an "organization plan" I sort through them and give away those I don't regularly use...

Never thought about putting stuff I throw on each rod together like that!  Awesome idea!

I've always split up the baits just by type.
