thinking of picking one up. jw if anyone owns this one or could give me a better option. last yr i bought a plano softsider 3600 but ive bought so much tackle already i need to step up to somethin bigger

Right now, I can't count how many different sized tackle bags I own, most of them picked up as close outs from Walmart, Cabelas, where ever.   That isn't a bad size bag.   And it is kind of on sale, which is a plus.   Not being on sale is never a reason not to get something.   The best rule of thumb is to get the size you want when you want it.  If you can afford it - get it - or wait til you can.

 

When I was fishing tournaments, I carried a couple of smallish day bags for tournament day/practice days, filled with stuff I was planning/ might use that day.  One bag had hard baits, terminal tackle, spare reels and I was pretty careful where I put it in the boat, usually strapped to the back seat with several heavy duty velcro straps.  The other bag carried soft plastics and stuff that didn't matter if it got stepped on and that got shoved up under the console.  I found that carrying two bags minimized the time I spent looking for something compared to having all the stuff in one larger bag.  I knew lots of guys who got by with one bag, but I couldn't bring myself to do that.

 

In my fishing truck, I had two Cabelas Magnum sized fishing bags and before that a couple of larger sized gym bags.  This carried all of the back up tackle that I thought I might use or need to restock between fishing days.  Another option for back up tackle storage is the soft sided airline carry on bags, which go on sale at Walmart for around $10 or so a couple of times per year.  These stack better in the fishing truck, compared to the Cabelas Magnm bags.

 

No matter which of these soft sided bags you use, when you first get them, it is a good idea to use skotchguard inside and out and then give it time to air out.   They will be a little more water repellant and stain resistant after the treatment.  Hope this helps.

It looks nice. And for that price I'd give it a go:-). I just bought the spiderwire venom for 30$ at dicks sporting good and I love it. Not to big or small, but has alot of pockets and storage. And for the price I couldn't pass it. But the one you want looks nice too. Try it and let us know

I have the cabelas advanced angler tackle bad which is similar and it works great.

[papajoe222]

I have a very similar bag that I've been using for a couple of seasons.  I like the fact that I can switch out the boxes with ones containing seasonal favorites, or whatever. I just grab six boxes out of the boat, add terminal tackle to the side pockets along with sun block and bug repellent JJ's or whatever and still have room for a bottle of water.

ill probably give this bag a shot. not too crazy about the color but o well

I'm always picking up new ones myself due to tackle addiction gonna need a rolling suitcase pretty soon

Looks nice, only comment I would have is the lack of waterproof bottom depending on how you store your boat could be a pain. On vacation when my boat stays out in the elements, the wet carpet in the morning or after a rain wicks and soaks the bottom of the bags. Since then I have gone with the hard plastic bottomed bags.

I have been very happy with all of my tackle bags from Cabelas, good quality.

I concur with fishes in trees on putting together a couple of go-fast bags.. That's also what I concluded many years ago.. No need to take 35 pounds of gear on a day trip!

You may be on to something there.  Probably already been done.

 

I think I'm going to get one of these bags!  Great for climbing into sombody elses boat!

[Kyle46N]

I almost pulled the trigger on that same bag about thirty minutes ago.  Instead I went with a Mustad waterproof boat bag.  Kind of had an epiphany in regard to the boat bag.  Water proof being the biggy.   I can throw 3700's in there, which most of my tackle is in, and then throw in whatever soft plastics I want....all the while I have a safe place to keep electronics...like camera's, phones, etc.    We'll see how it works out.

yea thats the thing i dont think it has that hard plastic bottom like my 3600 plano does. i may go with the cabelas advances angler bag or the 3700 size plano softsider

I have the 3600 size cabelas advanced angler bag and love it. I did turn it into a hanging bait bag using PVC tubes. They do go on sale from time to time too.

I also have 2 plano soft sider 3700 size bags with the hard plastic bottom that work great. The hold 3 of the 4700 double decker plano boxes.

Zero complaints with either bag.

I have that exact bag. Lots of room, durable and fits in tight spots. A++

r u refereing to the one in the link? does it have any type of hard plastic or rubber on the bottom?

[Bluebasser86]

I have the version of that bag they sold several years ago that I bought to be my non-boater bag. It served me well and is still the bag I use when I need to downsize.

I love soft sided tackle bags. Much like luggage, the creative/skilled organizer can fit far more than one might think.

My Plano 3600 probably weighs 20lbs. It's the largest bag I can physically get into my kayak so I'm pretty much stuck with it for now- I keep a shoe horn handy

Yes, rubber bottom with non slip rubber studs.

I use several bags. Go to a goodwill store and look at the bag rack. I picked up a fantastic gear bag for three dollars .

I use the following:

 

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ugly-Stik-Fishing-Bag/23597657

 

It works out great for me as I fish from a kayak and it fits perfectly in the bow.  However, I struggle with the amount of tackle it holds.  There was actually enough slack in the bag that I have been able to add an extra slim box vertically and second slim box horizontally on top of the others.  I then use a smaller slim box in the back pocket for my crappie jigs, but I might swap it for better spinnerbait storage.  All total I have 7 boxes in the one bag.  They are however 3600 series boxes not 3700 series.  I then have the pockets stuffed with plastic trailers, scents, weights, scale, etc.  I keep a separate worm folder for my worms and some spinnerbaits.  I keep the tackle bag between my legs in the bow, and the worm folder stuffed beside the seat.  It makes for a cramped cockpit, but it works and I can carry a crazy amount of tackle.  I just weighed the bag and it is just under 12 pounds.

 

Contents of Bag:

 

30 Crankbaits/Jerkbaits

24 Jig Types (2-3 of each type/color)

1 Full box of hooks

A couple Chatterbaits

3 Buzzbaits

4 Frogs

4 Soft plastic rigged swimbaits

8 Types of plastic trailers

12 different types of weights

3 Different Scents

Scale

Tape Measure

Line Cutter

Culling system

Bug Spray

 

The software plastic binder has about 2 dozen types of soft plastics, accessories (swivels, beads, etc), as well as 8 spinnerbaits.

 

Overall I think I have an excellent selection of baits at a given time, at least enough to cover the types of water I fish and the skill level I have with different baits..  Of course this is how I have it packed today.  I typically stock the bags based on the type of fishing I expect to do by either swapping out boxes or individual lures.  I am actually looking at a solution for mounting a milk crate on the back of the kayak to give me more room, but it is slow progress since I haven't run into a situation yet where I couldn't bring all of the tackle I need.  Nevermind the fact it is a bit more difficult to mount a milk crate to a sit-in kayak.

 

Of course this doesn't answer your question exactly.  I mainly did this to show that you can fit an amazing amount of tackle in a very small bag.  If I had just a bit more vertical space I would upgrade to a 3700 style bag, but for now it works.  It is difficult for me but the thing I try to remember is I don't need to bring the entire tackle store with me.  On a given day I might only fish 6-8 different types of baits depending on conditions so if I plan right I can have exactly what I want/need.  A few minutes of thought combined with a bit of organization means I can be ready for the water in just a few minutes.  Having said that, tackle storage is one of the primary reasons I want to upgrade to a proper boat.  I love watching videos and seeing people open up their tackle storage compartment and seeing box after box after box.  Some day I will have one, and I will finally have the excuse I need to go crazy buying tackle.
