Talonman Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 The wife wanted to go to Cabelas tonight...She picked up a few things for herself, and told me to do the same, and we used our community funds to pay, not my allowance $$.Not wanting to ruin a good thing, and to encourage another such trip, I went easy. I still needed a small tackle box, that I would take out in my 16' 2" Fury, that had a small footprint to ensure lots of deck space.I didn't want to take out my big green 'Mother-Ship' tackle bag. The truth is it's rather large for the boat. Heavy too!I saw this cute little Plano Guide Series 3500.I also picked up a set of Texas Tackle Split Ring Pliers, after hearing they are the best. I already had the larger set, but after using them on some small split rings, I new a smaller set would be handy to have too.The tackle bag has the one tray on top, and 4 more inside.I like it's small 10" footprint too.When we checked out, she commented that she was expecting that I would pickup a few more things, so I guess I did OK not burning my bridge for another future trip. I was happy with my items. Quote

Talonman Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 What did the wife purchase at Cableas?? Some clothes, and stuff for her Kayak. Quote
Talonman Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 Well, this looks to be about the amount that she will hold...I will still have some room for a few bags of plastics too. I can buy one more tray, and it will also fit in the bag.That shot is with the 4 trays all stacked up that came in the bag, along with the 5th tray from the top of the bag, standing on it's side.In the end it will be a 6 tray bag...Right now I also have a few swim jigs, and chatter-baits in the 2 end pockets too.I guess that is enough tackle to carry for one trip out in the boat. I will have about 5 rods in the lockers with baits tied on too. The small blue bag in my forum icon, is for ultra light fishing. This will be my Bassin Bag. Quote
