I am just curious to see how every keeps there bass baits. Are you old school and have all your tackle packed into a tri-level flip-one hard plastic tackle box? Or do you have everything organized in plastic bags and organizers in a over the shoulder tackle bag? Also how does everyone organize their baits? Or are there an tips to share on how to keep your gear organize. It will be interesting to hear what everone has to say.

My tackle is stuffed into a 370 Series BPS tacklebag. It holds TONS of stuff and then some. Great bag for the price too, I think it was on sale for $29.88 AFTER I bought it . Here's the link: http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.TextId?hvarTextId=37727&hvarDept=100&hvarEvent=&hvarClassCode=11&hvarSubCode=10&hvarTarget=browse

I use a hard shell plano takle box, for hardbaits, and a huge soft sided bag that holds I put my plastics, jigs, and swimbaits in.

At home I have a couple of these to keep things somewhat organized (more like in one area :)

Then I try to keep my plastics organized in their original packaging and then put them in the big Zip-Lock Freezer bags and hard baits are somewhat organized by category in Plano boxes.

Then when I go fishing I use this tackle bag:

It's filled with all my mainstays and then seasonal stuff is added from my bins when needed.

Okeechobee tackle bag. It is great. Wal-Mart , 38 bucks.

Hey Fellas I found a Picture Of Rauls Takle Box Here it is

Okeechobee tackle bag. It is great. Wal-Mart , 38 bucks.

I have one of the, I guess old fashion, boxes with 3 trays that extend up and out. For Christmas my wifes grand-father gave me a 4 drawer deal with storage in the top and I got a small over the shoulder with storage boxes. I'd like to get a binder with sleeves to carry my soft baits in since I use those the majority of the time.

I do keep my tackle organized as best I can. I am an organization freak when it comes to my tackle. I"m sure one day I'll end up with more boxes than I need because of it but I'll be organized and less stressed. LOL!

I bought an Ocheechobee Fats bag from walmart 3 years ago and it holds everything I need and takes a lot of abuse

Hey muddy, is it hard to back Rauls tackle box onto the boat? I guess it would be great for climbing on top and use it for sight fishing, ;D

i use a 7 year old jansport school bag recently converted to tackle bag lol.  hopefully i can get one of those browning tackle pack backs later.  but it does the basic job of holding all my stuff.  most of my plastics are in a freezer bag.  

Plano Guide Series 7592 that holds my hard baits and wire baits.

Older Browning soft bag that holds 4 3700 size boxes and 2 smaller boxes in the front pocket as well as 2 smaller side pockets.  It holds all my soft plastics.  

The BASS bag holds my scents, towel, scale, tape measure, and other accessories.

These things are completely full, so i need to find something else to fit all my extra stuff in as well as future purchases.

I use BPS Taclke Backpack with tons of storage as well as a couple large soft double sided BPS binders one for soft baits and one for jigs and trailers. Then once I get in the boat the stuff is stashed everywhere I can fit it

I personally like the backpack due to the fact some of the local ponds I fish have a little bit of a walk from where I have to park the tackle tow vehicle.

I guess the ONLY good thing about being a Newbie is that I haven't had the time to amass a great deal of tackle.  All of my tackle fits in a medium sized Plano case with two trays under each lid.  I have to admit though, that I need to find a more efficient way of storing my plastics.

I have a Back-Pac tackle bag that my wife bought for me after I saw it at a sports show a couple years ago. I shore fish alot so it comes in handy so I can walk and cast and not leave my tackle bag laying around. It even has a place to hold an extra rod.

Here is some of my stuff though;

At the rate I'm going, my next tackle box will be a wheelbarrow. ;D

Seriously, I've been trying to discipline myself to use a "day box". That is, trying to leave most of the "warehouse" at home and just take the stuff I need for the days fishing. This accomplishes a couple of things. One, I won't need helper to carry it all and two, it forces me to think through the fishing conditions, stain, weather, lake, temps, etc. more beforehand. This more forces me to fish the conditions rather than junk fish.

Here's my tackle box......and it floats!

I keep bulk plastics and some extra rods in the house.

Nice boat five bass limit

i recently picked up a shaw grigsby tackle bag from dicks sporting goods....its huge & holds 6 plano boxes &  a few tackle logic bags.

i dont like shaw grigsby, but i like his bag

i use a 7 year old jansport school bag recently converted to tackle bag lol.   but it does the basic job of holding all my stuff.  most of my plastics are in a freezer bag.  

Right there with you bro.  My jansport w/ a 3700 plano full of zoom bags or ziplocks.  One binder for terminal stuff. Raingear, radio, food, etc...

I get around alot. I prefer to travel lite.  Its easy to get over fences with it too

You're supposed to ORGANIZE this stuff!?!?  :-[ No bull, last time I organized, I found a LC Sammy 85, Blueback Herring color. I have no idea where it came from.  :-? If I ever get all this stuff organized, I will post the pics. Don't sit there waiting on it. ;D

Five Bass- is that an early nineties Gambler?  I rode in a rig seemingly identical to that over a decade ago in a Red Man event...fastest boat I had ridden in.

I have a Plano 777.

I need to get another tackle box though.  The 777 is good but I think a soft case with a lot of boxes would be be a better fit.

I also use the Okeechobee bag. In December I labeled the boxes and built a new rod holder. I can't wait 'til it warms up!

Here's where I keep the tackle:

Here's the labeled boxes (Avery VHS labels, with scotch tape to waterproof):

Finally, Here's a simple rod holder. Just a board and some 1.5" PVC pipe

Plano 777
