David the Gnome Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 What model of Plano box do I need to store large baits like spinners and buzzbaits? I would really like it if I could find one that was in the 3700 size. Right now I'm using a couple 3700 thins (pictured below) to hold all my other tackle but the spinners and buzzbaits obviously won't fit because of the pre-molded horizontal rows. I carry my tackle in an old backpack so using those super deep rack-style spinner boxes isn't very practical for me. Quote
Mr Swim Jig Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Plano makes a box just for spinner baits and buzz baits. They also make one that is a combo box for spinner baits and buzz baits and it is in the 3700 size. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted June 9, 2015 Super User Posted June 9, 2015 Flambeau makes a small spinner bait box - model 0220 that will hold 4 to 6 spinnerbaits. I have several. They work great for spinnerbaits. They don't work for buzz baits. Unless you find the, totally necessary because of cover issues, I'd leave the buzz baits at home. Walking a Pop-R or similar bait very fast makes a similar noise on the water, you can stop it and it won't sink, and you've got a couple of treble hooks to catch a fish rather than 1 fixed hook. Anyway, my opinion, I like poppers over a buzz bait the vast majority of the time. But I digress. No clue where you'd get those boxes in your neighborhood, call Flambeau and find out I guess. I got mind at a family owned independent tackle store in the KC Metro area. Quote
jitterbug127 Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 THe big plano box for spinners and buzzbaits sits up right. it is great for a boat, but it takes up a bunch of room in a tackle box. I use a cd case for my spinners, and a trays for my buzzbaits. works well Quote
robster80 Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 stay away from the 3700 plano spinnerbait/buzzbait box. i have yet to find a way to get my baits to fit like theyre suposed to in that thing. maybe when i figure it out ill like it. think ima go with one of the stand up ones Quote
Dypsis Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 stay away from the 3700 plano spinnerbait/buzzbait box. i have yet to find a way to get my baits to fit like theyre suposed to in that thing. maybe when i figure it out ill like it. think ima go with one of the stand up ones I have this box and yes it took me a few tries to figure out how to get them in correctly. I've had it for 6+ months and they hold the baits really well. Every now and then a buzzbait will pop out but the spinnerbaits stay tight. Haven't seen a problem with the wire being bent either.

Meldawg Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I have the plano 3650 tackle bag from Sportsman's warehouse. It comes with boxes that are adjustable. I have several buzzbaits in my box. You can adjust the sizes of the compartments to what suits you. Hope this helps and good luck fellow Kentuckian. 1 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted June 9, 2015 Super User Posted June 9, 2015 I personally use a CD case, works pretty well. 1 Quote
Super User tomustang Posted June 9, 2015 Super User Posted June 9, 2015 Use the 3701 and cut some of the walls out to fit spinnerbaits that are laid flat Quote
James Pondscum Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Can.t say about the buzzbaits but I own two 3700,s and one 3600,s and they work. Only problem was with a local produced spinner bait . Wire to stiff? Holds all my others great . Had the first about four years now. Maybe not perfect but what is? Very satisfied. Quote
basser89 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Not sure if they still make them, but I love my Plano 3714 spinnerbait boxes. They don't work real well for spinnerbaits 3/4oz and up though. Quote
FloridaBasser1 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I personally use a CD case, works pretty well. Thanks, Saving me money and i don't even have to pay you! Quote
