Are your tackle boxes ready for opener?

Oh yeah! I've organized it a dozen times and will probably do it another dozen times before the season opens. It seems that I need to organize it every time I get a new bait. :;)

Me too...

Touche', Dominick.   ;)

mine is never ready  there are always a few baits out there that i can always find a spot in the box somewhere    lol but for the most part im ready for 08!!!!!

I not only prepped my tacklebox but also a friends.  His looked like a tornado hit it and I couldn't bear to see such a catastrophy.  If I'd needed an example for a PhD dissertation on chaos theory, his tackle box would have fit the bill nicely).  But actually, it was fun to put some order in that 14" X 7" plastic box.

People still use tackle boxes? :-?

Most certainly!! It's quite difficult to carry a boat around the shoreline of the ponds that I fish. It's much easier to pack a backpack tacklebag full of gear and use that!

Tackle box

The only people I see carrying those are old people and young kids.

I have a small OLD PAL metal box, with one tray I keep in the truck for pond fishing and I GUESS I AM AN OLD GUY!

My tackle is always organized. It is therapy for me in the evenings. Some folks enjoy a cocktail or a fine cigar after work.

Me, I like triming jigs, and sorting soft palstics into zip lock bags by type. I have a "man cave" in my basement complete with TV, refrigerator, fishing tackle room, collection of 15 years of fishing mags, and all my tackle catalogs. I can always find something to tinker with down there.

It is a sickness, but hey, it beats most other obsessions I know of.

This was the weight of his best five fish for each day.

I'm really low on supplies but things are looking much better.  I have hit e-bay for a few good deals that I'm really happy about.  Sweet for rapalas that are normally too expensive.  Of course you also have to take into account shipping

Where you fishin' Cooter?  I live in Leeds so I'm just a few minutes from you.  I usually fish Neely Henry but I have a membership at Sportsman's Lake.  That's in your neck of the woods.  Just holler when you want to go.

Check Walmarts and Gandermountain. At wamart they had a case that has 1.00 lures. They have buzz baits and other stuff. At Gander they also have 1.00 lures. I LOVE THE CHEAP STUFF!!
