Plano 777 hard box and a large (EMT/ski patrol size) waist pack for soft plastics. An added bonus of the 777 is that its very easy to pull out all of the compartments and fit them into an average size back pack. Great for shore fishing.

i need to invest in a soft tackle bag! my plano wont fit all of my stuff :'(

Another vote for the soft bags here. I bought a Okeechobee Fats bag this spring and really like it. I did switch out one of the boxes for a Falcon spinnerbait/buzzbait box.

Okeechobee Fats is the real deal!! I've had mine for about 3 years now and no signs of wear or tear on it at all. I put the boxes of lures and baits I want to have with me for the day and leave the remainder at home for another time. I keep my terminal tackle, (weights, hooks, glue, beads, pliers etc, in my hard tackle boxes.

When purchased, I thought they were reasonably priced for about $38 + or- at Wal-Mart. They are now (as of this morning) about $41 plus change and tax I like my OF so much, I bought one for my grandson. Havn't given it to him yet since he lives in another city.

Anyway, that's my $.02

Best of luck. Tom
