Tackle storage suggestions

Featured Replies

I am trying to find a new way to store my tackle in my boat that will make my organization more proficient.  I have a bass tracker and it has one fairly large storage box in the front which has no dividers of any kind.  I use plano hard tackle boxes with the biggest being a 3740 model.  I was just wondering if anyone has come up with cool ways to store hard tackle boxes or any other kind of tackle.  Pictures would be great if you have any, Thanks.

I like many others have gone completely with the 3700 and 3600 style storage boxes.  I went with two of these

Easy to use. I can pull these in and out of the boat with ease. My boxes are marked on the ends so I can see exactly what's inside.  These bags will hold approx. 7 3700 style boxes.  In a boat they act like those $40 plastic box organizers.   At $12 you can't beat it.  

Hey man I have a tracker too.  I to am in the same boat of trying to figure this storage thing out.  What do you think about this.  Easy View Tackle System my only thought is our compartments may not be quite deep enough for it and a 3700 up on edge I may be wrong anyways.  To everybody else keep those ideas coming.

Gman, I think the easy view tackle system looks like a great idea.  I have seen other guys with them at tournaments and thought they looked really nice but I wasn't sure what they were called.  Thanks for the idea.  I am going to have to do some measuring of my storage box to see if I can fit the plano boxes in when they are on their sides.  

Hey Ohio

Hey if you get it figured out buddy let me know.  I may go that way also if it works here is another idea for ya I thought about doing the compartment under the middle two seats then I didn't have to worry about size constrictions what do you think?  Holler bck buddy.

Try this site. Someone had some pics posted on BFR of their boat with this same storage system and I really liked what I saw. I haven't added it to my boat yet. www.cookstacklesystem.com

I think I am going to get the easy view tackle system for soft plastics and put it under my front storage compartment and maybe even some under my rod box lid.  Then for crankbaits in the hard boxes I am going to try to make something myself out of plexi glass.  I already have my boxes labeled so I just need something to hold them in place so I can see the labels.  I hope this works out and thanks for the suggestions.

My boat is a PT 175 Tracker and I try not to store much tackle in the boat itself. The system I use is 3600 plano boxes for all hardbaits, Falcon spinnnerbait and buzzbait boxes for SB and BB's, 1 gallon freezer bags for soft plastics seperated by type (ie creature baits, senkos, etc.). I hate digging through boat compartments trying to find tackle! I use a red BPS tackle bag and if I cannot catch fish on what I can fit inside I need to work harder at finding fish.
