caudburns11 Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I've been using the Plano spinnerbait box but I've noticed that they bend the spinnerbaits a lot. What do you guys use to store your spinnerbaits. All of the other boxes I've tried they don't fit right. Quote
S. Sass Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I use the Plano spinner bait box and havent had any issues with it bending the arms. Notice I said bending. They do "bow" but mine pop right back in shape when released from the catch. 2 Quote

They do "bow" but mine pop right back in shape when released from the catch.This is how it is for most of them but today I was taking them out and organizing them, and noticed a couple were bent at the tip where it clicks into the holder.

S. Sass Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Hmm got me on that one. Ill have to look next time i have them out but I haven't ever noticed that before. Where they a light wire or was there anything like the same size or manufacturer that you were seeing this on? I have 3/8 to 1/2 in mine of all brands and styles. Quote
Evan K Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I have a BPS worm binder, store the spinnerbaits in the plastic zip loc "pages". Works great and doesn't take up much space. 2 Quote
tander Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Same as Evan, I use a small worm binder, I use a magic marker and label the pages such as willow leaf, single, double, Colorado, single, double, etc. Works really well and you can find what you want quickly. 1 Quote
Super User MickD Posted November 14, 2015 Super User Posted November 14, 2015 I have used the Plano and have never had a problem with bending. I think you may have some unusually fragile spinnerbaits that most likely will bend on fish too. I don't like the fact that I cannot really tell what I've got in the box, so am going to plastic bags. One design/color in each freezer bag (they are tougher than storage bags, labeled with marker, and all put into a gallon sized freezer bag. Quote

I got tired of a 100 bags of stuff. When I want spinner baits I can see the box and get it no digging through a kitchen of bags. I organize mine by size, style, and color and can easily pick what I need out. No getting pricked by hooks and no having to untangle them. To me it was a great trade getting away from bags. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted November 15, 2015 Super User Posted November 15, 2015 I have the large spinnerbait box I think it holds 100 spinnerbaits. Quote

That's a good idea to mark them, or what I do is take the little paper/cardboard card out of the back of the spinnerbait package and just slide it in under the spinnerbait in the bag/page. Then I can tell the brand, color scheme, and weight. Quote
Missourifishin Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I used the Plano box with now problems. Quote

jitterbug127 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 CD case is 100% easiest storage system you'll ever use Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted November 16, 2015 Super User Posted November 16, 2015 I've got an older BPS spinnerbait binder. It holds all the spinnerbaits I need and keeps them organized. Unfortunately they discontinued them, but I believe Browning still has their version. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 17, 2015 Global Moderator Posted November 17, 2015 I used a Falcon spinnerbait box before I bought my boat. Now I use a Cook's Go-To tackle system for them and the empty Falcon box sits in my garage. Quote
Super User MickD Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 All the CD cases I've seen are very fragile, so I doubt I can make that work. The CD wallet sounds like the ticket to me. I envision one for tandems, one for willow/Colorado. One of the big challenges of tackle storage is having a system that doesn't store a lot of air, and this looks ideal. Why didn't I think of that?

desmobob Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 A buddy of mine used a CD wallet for years. I may give this a try. My big (old) Plano box has a spinnerbait rack on top but it doesn't hold many, and they tangle easily. CD wallets seem like a very space-efficient idea. Tight lines, Bob Quote

blckshirt98 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I actually use cheap plastic tupperware. I forget which brand but there's a square shaped one that isn't too tall made to fit the Wonder Bread sized slices of bread. I store the spinnerbaits flat in the tupperware, with each spinner bait in a sandwich bag of it's own. Quote
DubyaDee Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I use the plano 3700 spinnerbait box. I don't like it because the skirts get caught under each other. I like the CD case idea. Quote
zeth Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 mine hang on a rack until i want to take them out and then the ones I want go in a tupperware container I found in my wifes parent house. No perfect way to store spinnerbaits. At least not when you have to many of them. Quote
