Ok, Ok, Ok, another organizing thread

[Gamec0cks5]

Ok so I am a guide for a local community here in Bluffton, SC. I bought a Bass Pro Backpack because of all the storage and it came with a few Plano Boxes. I am running out of room for my soft plastics mainly. I fish a ton of Texas Rigged Soft Baits. I have two Plano boxes one a 3600 series and the other a crankbait box. I also have a Falcon FTO Box for my terminal tackle, and a bps small box. The tackle storage is fine.

Two Identical Side Pockets

As you can see in these pics I am jamming all the pockets full of my softbaits in their original packaging. It is time consuming swimming through all those packages. I have it some what organized to have all different types of soft baits seperated. I have one small pocket with curl tails, and the rest with senkos and misc. ones and it is a pain to keep up with >

I tried a quantum Worm Wallet at one point but maxed it out very quickly.

Any Ideas? I want quick access to my soft baits but organized at the same time (I want my cake and want to eat it too). Keep in mind I bounce around from two boats I keep all my rods/reels and tackle in our storage room. My excess/bulk gear I keep in a small rubbermaid container.

Thoughts? Ideas? Macgyver inventions?

maybe 2-3 bait binders, They are easy to sift through and work well.

Yeah possibly I need to get a pretty decent size one though I have a ton of plastics so I can throw all kinds of different stuff for my clients b/c they most likely haven't fished much. So they just don't stick to one thing

I haven't seen a worm binder that has more than 8-10 pages per one, I might be able to cram some more in there though.

Check BPS. They have several different sizes. I have a few of their double bags. Pretty sure there is 10 pages in each side. They have a Jumbo bag that is huge with a shoulder strap. You can get additional pages for them also. Mine are stuffed with 2 or 3 bags in each page. They have zipper pockets for terminal tackle too. Good bags.

When they are on sale the bag is 34.99, if not 59.99, but this is the end all bag, to me at least.

Is that a bull shad? I will take. That should clear up some space.

Browning makes some GOLIATH plastic bags. You get get a few of these: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_104003____SearchResults

and put them in this:

Albeit, it will be cheaper to just get the XPS, even at full price. Or even some smaller cheap plastic wallets to go inside of the satchel would work.

i hear what your sayin...

but...if they haven't fished much...they have no idea how many plastics there are.  truthfully i don't know about you....but i always have way more variety than i end up using...so maybe just narrow down what you take.....  :-/

just an idea...

being a non-boater i know the night before a tourney i drive myself crazy trying to cram everything into one tackle bag.  and i end up using maybe 1/3 of the plastics...maybe.  i usually end up sticking to just a handful of the ones i have a lot of confidence in.

That's not a bull shad it's a tru-tungsten. I like the idea of that browning bag, will look into that thanks

I am trying to narrow down, but that is hard, I use a lot of ribbontails & senkos. But I like throwing a little bit of everything

Nice bag right there.  I'd pick one up if it wasn't in such a horrible color scheme.

it looks much smaller than your bag pictured above

I have a little duffel bag that I carry with stand up flat bottom ziplock bags, or gallon sized zip locks.  I have labeled these in a few different ways.  I will use a label maker to mark finesse worms, ribbon tail worms, senkos, brush hogs, etc.  Or another thing I like to do is get different colors of tape and tape the edges of the bags for support.  its also a color code, like green for worms, red for creatures, and so on.  It works pretty well for me.  and its cheaper than buying one of those tackle binders.  Personally the stand up flat bottom zip lock bags are my favorites because you can take them out and set them out and kinda sift through the bags of plastics.

I currently use the BPS Stalker bag and love it. Holds a ton of stuff and slap it on the back and get to fishing!

As for the BPS double sided bags I would stay away from them. I have the small version and the larger version and hate them. The plastic sleeves rip easily and on my large bag the shoulder strap broke and the carrying handle broke within 3 months of owning it. Not very good craftsmanship in those items. Definitely not BPS bashing as I love my BPS Nitro rod!!!
