That not the garage! ;D  That is my room in the basement for me and me only.  Got my workbench in there, Gunsafe, Computer and my hobby stuff.

I made sure I had a room for me to escape from the wife and kids.

I would need a wide angle lens to get it all.   :-/

Over the years I've used a few different Tackle Systems, but during the last couple of years

I've been leaning heavily on small "Plano Magnums" that I preload from bigger stashes (labeled to suit).

Below is my "soft-plastics" table, a dumping ground for soft-plastics that have already been retired for one reason or another.

I only use what has worked for me in the past.  My box looks shameful!  I don't have a lot of money, like most people.  So I buy basically what I can afford at the time.  I do have essentials though...  I have my top water baby torpedo, snag proof frog, several worms, zoom black chartreuse lizards, some bobbers, and pretty much ever size jig, from a 1/32-1/4 oz. I also have a small spinner beetle, and one rapala shad. Anything with gamakatsu hooks is fantastic!  And I try to purchase those as I find the money!  I also have a couple rattle baits made by renegade, firetiger, and golden shad.  I also like to rig up my own bait styles on occasion from lures that I retired, or were so worn out from old age, and not being taken care of.  Like if I feel like it would be a good day to run a spinner, I run the spinner off an old rooster tail, on a worm, or something similar.    Ingenuity is my persuit!  I also carry with me spider wire line in 8lb test, brass eagle 17lb test, and berkley vanish transition gold in 4lb.  Basically, I don't need much more, as I am not going for fish over 10lbs...  lol  I don't even know why I bought the 17lb...  I don't have a reel to suit that heavy of line!  lol  I just have everything I need packaged up in an older plano magnum double sided box, and a smaller box for crappie jigs/bass items...  Oh, and you can't forget a couple tiny bobbers for those days that you want to dangle a crawler!    Pictures soon.

Dude, you are a lucky man! ;D

Thanks for the kind words guys, but to be honest...75 percent of the stuff I buy on clearance or with coupons or closeouts. I take advantage of those $10 off $25 at dicks all the time I get a coupon. You can buy $25 worth of stuff for $15. If the stuff is on sale too even better. For example this week Dicks sporting goods had 20% off all Yamomoto baits. So a bag of regular senkos is 4.78 with the 20 percent off. You buy 6 bags for 28.68....use the coupon it comes out to 18.68 plus tax for 6 bags of senkos. thats 3.11 a bag.

This is a no brainer guys. Just patience and smart shopping. Zoom products are off the hook. they start at 2.99 -20% thats 2.40 a bag times 11 bags equals 26.40 - $10 bucks with coupon= $16.40 for 11 bags of zoom Thats $1.49 a bag.

HOW QUICKLY A WALL FILLS UP WITH SAVINGS LIKE THAT.

With 2 quick trips, I put 17 bags of platics on my wall.  I give half the stuff away to little kids and nephews and stuff...all the time.  Its all about the fishing

Are those dancin eels on your wall? :-?

Mine isn't as elaborate, just some stuff I have collected over the course of a couple of years. I don't own a boat so I tend to travel light.

[Glenn]

Mine - boat is filled with 50+ pounds of tackle, including 25 rods between the wife and I. Those shelves in the back are full of "extras" (there's shelves directly on the opposite wall too) - enough lures to last a very long time! OY!

Good Eye! Yes they are! ;D

Look out Russ has a Shimano tackle box does this make him part of the POSSE?

No. I have a Shimano tackle bag filled with all Shimano boxes and I'm not a Posse member. Just couldnt pass it up at a yard sale for $5 bucks.  ;D

Glenn,

How do you like that flooring in your garage?

lol...found mine at the lake.  It was full of the smaller yamamoto senkos.  I gave those to a kid that always fishes the shore there.  I asked his mom if we could get him off land  a yr or 2 ago but he cannot go on a boat due to a skin condition.  He can't get wet.  Wierd huh?  Something about the way his skin regulates water penetration.  If he happened to fall in, he's in big trouble.  Poor guy.  So we hook him up whenever we can.

5bass, although many of you don't know this,...is a Low Budget Hooker also.  I'm thinking he's going to need a team shirt asap

[Glenn]

I love it.  Easy to clean, durable, and it looks great!

[Triton21]

I have a 21' Triton and a one car garage size outbuilding and they are running over into my 30' X 50' pole barn.  Way too much $#!t.

That is what bass fishing is all about!  It's better to give something, to someone who is in a, "special" condition, even if it's just hope!  You do a lot for the kid, and it seems like you found what it truly means to be a fisherman!    Finding things is definitely great, but giving is much more rewarding!  I try to keep everyone I fish with happy, and allow them the use of my gear, when and if they need it!  I can't use everything that I have in my box, and I would rather see it go to good use, somewhere else, and maybe for another person!  I have a little superstition about using a bait...  If I use it, and cast it 300 times, without a bite, I push it to another cubby in the box, and forget about it...  I have an 11 year old brother in law, and he loves using those baits, even if he doesn't catch anything!  He will throw them out for hours!  

Just this last weekend, I was using a bait I hadn't used in a while, and caught a 4.3 female, and he was all excited.  I reached down to the end of his line, and bit off the lure he was using, then mine, and swapped them out.  He threw that thing for 4 hours!  Sadly, he didn't catch anything...  It's ok though, we had fun!  I just need to find a local store that carries the Berkley Beast...  lol  I seriously love that bait!  Caught me, my second largest bass, this season!  And the funny thing, I only threw it out, maybe 10 times before the strike!  Great stuff!

I am lucky to have the wonderful companion, as she spends so much time with me, in the store, and buys whatever I want...  She doesn't care, as long as I am happy, doing something that I have a new found love for!  As I get older, I find myself out in nature more and more...  And along side me, is Jordan, my 11 year old brother in law...  I always let him use my tackle!    Maybe one day, he will credit me for him catching that world record bass, of his!

That is the cleanest garage I have ever seen in my life!!!  Tell us the truth. Did you straighten up for these pics?

[IneedAnewScreenName-i098509]

My tackle box consists of a 2 and a half car garage(no cars fit) an 18.5 foot bass boat and 2 rooms of the house. Time to have a garage sale  ;D

[Bassassasin12]

enough of this, we want to see The Natural's and Redlineroberts pics!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

[Blue Streak]

I would have to take a photo of my garage with an extreme wide angle lens to show you all of my tackle. Where on earth did it all come from and how did it get here?

[Cajun1977]

Thank you, much appreciated!  I have felt like a member of this community from the first minute viewing this forum!  Lots of down to earth people, with the same love that I share for bass fishing!

I think the most impressive thing I've seen in this thread is Glenn's immaculately clean garage.
