Worm Boxes?

[Ohio Dave]

hey guys,

 

how do you (all) carry your soft plastics.  I really want to keep the baits in their original bags (it helps me remember what size color etc) and they seem to me to stay fresher. 

 

 

[wademaster1]

Lots of guys use those binders that are designed for carrying plastics...I do lots of fishing in a kayak and I use a big heavy duty ziploc bag that I just kind of shuffle through like you would a file cabinet when changing baits....

I use worm binders, graduated up from ziploc baggies last year.

XL Plano for me.  Holds a ton, and I can keep them organized in the original packages.  I cut a piece of cardboard to keep the 2 rows from trying to get into one another.  works great for me.

I have a BPS Extreme 370 bag.  I just roll up the plastics in the bag they came in an put them in the 370 boxes.

i have a binder for most of my plastics,  but plastics i go thru a lot i still use a zip-loc

[CTGalloway21]

I use the big plano waterproof boxes without the dividers.

Similar baits go into ziplocs, and the ziplocs go into two of these:

Ive been thinking over the same problem. Right now I keep them in their orginial bags and placed in Tupper ware boxes. A little to bulky and space consuming for my likeing. Have been thinking about putting them into plano boxes but have read mixed things on that method.

I put some in boxes and leave in my bigger tackle bag and I keep the few that I use in original bag with me in my smaller more mobile bag... Bank fishing life is rough lol need a boat

[Ohio Dave]

I have a bass tender boat (which I just got a few weeks back and love but it sure has its limits)  there is no storage on the boat.  I want something I can grab up like the bass pro bag that has the boxes of my crank baits  

I just did not want to take the worms or similars out of their bags and into those boxes.  I am sort of on the fence between rolling the bags into boxes or that bigger box option

 

I would still have to contend with organizing hooks, weights, wacky rings etc     do you/would you put that all in the same boxes too???

[Creekcrappie]

I put them in a big plastic containers you can get at Walmart.

I hear that for sure.  I was a bank guy most of my life.  I got a little jon boat a couple years ago and made a comfort up grade to this tender.   a bit hard to get on the trailor as the tongue is too short to get it far enough into the water but otherwise a great deal and very nice on the water 

 

I guess I have another excuse to go to bass pro:  have to look at bags and boxes myself to see what is what there

 

thanks guys

Great thread. Thanks for the ideas!

ziplocks inside of a big mesh bag. 

 

[Ohio Dave]

with no storage on my little boat, I know I will loose my mind with a bunch of zip bags of zip bags LOL

 

I need something that is going to be easy to thumb through and all in one to be easy to get on and off the boat quick

 

sounds like one of those folder types:  I have not seen one in person to know anything about them

[wademaster1]

I don't use a pile of ziplocks, I get the big heavy duty versions so I won't have a bunch to deal with.....then, I open the bag and thumb through the tops of the packages until I get to the one I need.....very handy

[KyakR]

As I fish from a light kayak, I have a watertight box I put my favorites in (or any plastics specific to where I'm going). The rest are in the original packages in my main T box packed in the back just in case. But then I have to beach the yak......but that's worth it, 'cause then I probably am getting bit like crazy 

[Ohio Dave]

thanks guys!!

Keep the soft plastics in their original packages.  Keep similar baits grouped together in gallon zip lock bags (the heavier freezer bags, not the regular ones)  Find some kind of bag to keep the different gallon bags in.  Walmart sells them, or a gym bag of some kind, or a mesh bag or whatever.  If you are really stuck for cash, go to a goodwill/Salvation Army store and find the largest womens purse you can find.  That will surely hold 6 or 7 or 10 or more gallon zip lock bags.   The womens purse angle had the added advantage of no one else will want to be seen with it, so the odds of it getting stolen go way down.

[Ohio Dave]

While pretty confident in who I am:  I am stil not carrying a hand bag regardless of how organized

 

not to mention, 90% of what goes into my wife's purse is never seen my human eyes again.   That would be the opposite of what I want LOL

 

so its down to either a tote or box with zip bags of worm bags or a file type binder of worm bags in zip pages

leaving the purse in the car.

 

either sounds pretty decent to me:  I only carry 15-20 different bags at any one time anyway so its not a massive pile but enough to cause issues in keeping straight and making sure I am not heading out with just two more of a certain color or size left in a bag

 

Being on my way to club advisor for some high school boys where I teach,  I wanted to be a good example in every way possible including the little things (in the boys' eyes) that make a difference in a tournament like being very well organized and stocked to the best you can afford. 

 

that has been one of the biggest surprises for me in starting this club: I have gave pause to re-think just about every aspect of my bass fishing.  What is the best way to show each part of the sport:  equipment, knots, baits, storage, stratagies  and so on.  There is no doubt I will have learned at least as much from the kids as they from me by a year from now and no reason to think that will change in the years to come

I label gallon zip loc bags into different types of plastics, senkos, finesse, mag woms, swim baits, creatures, beavers, craws, etc. They have enough room for a bunch of bags of plastics in each. Then I'll pick a few from each bag when I go out and put them in one of those bassmaster bags. Keeps me somewhat organized. I could also tow the whole gallon bag, but most of the time it's unnecessary.

I put my plastics in a normal tacklbox...works good.

[bassguytom]

I put them in a big plastic containers you can get at Walmart.

X2 This works great for me.
