JThoms38 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Keep your soft plastics in bags or in boxes? I prefer bags less mess and scents and salts stay where they belong. Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 13, 2014 Super User Posted July 13, 2014 In their bags and those bags in tackle boxes. 2 Quote
OroBass Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Both boxes are cool sometimes because you can put 6 colors of the same plastic in one box. It's fast and easy. I leave some stuff in bags too. Some plastics melt or bleed like the strike king elastic worms! 1 Quote
JThoms38 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Nicer to keep them in bags when I bank fish but the boat would be nice to have them in boxes. Quote

Super User Sam Posted July 13, 2014 Super User Posted July 13, 2014 Bags. I do have some finesse worms in a Plano box. But that's all folks. 1 Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted July 13, 2014 Super User Posted July 13, 2014 I keep a Plano box filled with all my go-to baits for easy access and keep my back ups in bags. Quote

primetime Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I like to keep a clip on my belt that has 8 clear thick bags, and attach them to a clip that has a rope that pulls (carabena??) as I find I rarely use different plastics when fishing, hooks, or terminal tackle, and it is nice to have it all in one place and quick to grab it....I also keep a towel in the same spot.... Fill it with all the baits you plan on using that day, hooks, jig heads etc.I have fished entire days and have not had to open a tackle box or bag...I can sometimes get buy with a few spinnerbaits in one bag, chatterbaits, hooks and weights, and then some worms, beavers, craws, and tubes, and for color, I may carry an insane amount, but I rarely throw anything without green pumpkin in it, or in black.....

Mr. BattleArmor Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Keep mine in the bags because of how hot it is down here, they tend to bleed into each other if colors are together and with the amount of plastics i carry, its more more space efficient to keep them in the bags anyway. Although in my saltwater box i have them in the box, thats cause I only use a few artificial lures compared to when bass fishing. 1 Quote

TNBassin' Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I keep them in their original bags and put them in worm binders Quote
deadadrift89 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Original bags and store them in soft sided tackle bags. 1 Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted July 14, 2014 Super User Posted July 14, 2014 I keep them in the bags they come in. I use a tackle backpack; it's easier to hike to my spots & carry a couple rods. It fits nicely on my kayaks too. Quote
mcgreggor57 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Another bags and binders vote. Since I bank fish, the binder usually stays in the car after I've grabbed a handful of bags I plan on fishing. If I need to change up, it's usually a short walk back to the car. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted July 14, 2014 Global Moderator Posted July 14, 2014 Idealy I'd keep them in the original bags, but as a co angler on someone elase boat they take up too much space in my bag. I put them in plano boxes. Before each trip I add scent and when I get home take the boxes out and store in an air conditioned room. Mike Quote
