Tackle Storage

[OG Crankster]

Just wanted to pass this along in case you havent seen or heard about these. Kind of a cool way to store hard baits. Yes, they arent cheap, yes, they arent for everyone, but if they are, here ya go. I just buy the inserts then buy the boxes from Scheels for 7.99. They have these for all kinds of hard baits and brands. This is the RKcrawler version. It also fit a 50DD and deep wiggle wart nicely. Also grabbed the SR5 and SR7 versions.The company is FishMore. I have zero affiliation with them.

Really cool idea but if I could only get 20 baits in a 3700 box I’d have to tow a boat behind the boat for the tackle boxes.

Ya, I'd go from 5 boxes to about 20 to fit all my cranks...and the storage on the F-9 will only hold 20 standard depth boxes...so where would I put my jerks/jigs/spinners/etc?

110 boxes sure are pretty. This looks like @A-Jay speed. They have them for +1's and +2's too. 

 

Hard to justify the space for other cranks, but a box full of 110's might do it. I kind of feel bad with mine jammed in a box.

You gonna clean the drool on my keyboard bub? ?

 

Once you get hooked on the Flashboost and 110s, it's hard to buy others even though many great ones exist.   I buy way too many Jerkbaits, but not enough yet to invest in an awesome setup like that.

Exceptional in every regard except options particularly +1 junior sizes. 

 

Has a great perfectly level suspension to it, and the flashboost seems to really work.  They throw about as well as the 110 series as well.

 

The colors aren't as catchy even though the flashboost is.   Something about MegaBass paintjobs ?

When are you throwing flashboost vs 110?

I threw the Flashboost all through the fall, and then downsized to the 110 jr+1 for depth and to better match the size of winter Shad in my homelake during the start of winter.   I'd consider the Shimano WM a fullsized Jerk.  A bit longer than a 110 IIrc.  

 

When these fish have been pushing shallow after a week of warm weather, I've broken out the 110jr.     

 

It has to be a matter of time until Shimano comes out with a junior size, and at that point I might just go with Shimano all the time.   The hooks are stronger and stupid sharp.   The finish is more durable it seems as well.   

 

Like a 110, it's so beautiful out of the box you hate catching that first fish on it lol.

I’m actually really into this. Dang. I did not need to see the this post. Thought my spring shopping list was complete but it appears not.

Really cool concept, but as stated definitely not for everybody. As others have stated, I'd need a lot more trays. I would be cool for the high end Jerkbaits or swimbaits though!

[Smokinal]

Really beautiful and all...but then you miss out on looking for the 1 crank you think will work, only to find it entangled in 17 other treble hooks and 9 other baits.

That's the best part of my morning

I went and took a look - $25 for an insert that will hold 12 Vision 110 (+1, +2) that fits in a Plano 3707-10.

 

I've got 17 110 'knockoffs' (Skinny Cutters, 3DBs, Rattlin Rogues, etc) that with Owner caps I store in a single 3701 - with room for 1/2 a dozen more...no tangled hooks with the caps.

 

Cute, but expensive and impractical from my point of view.

I bought a Shimano world minnow flash boost last month. I won’t be able to use it until May though.

Broke mine back out for the first time since the Fall today.   Tough day for everything I threw, but to me the WM seems to really shine when the water is in the 60s+.   It's just far more aggressive to me than a 110, and throws a ton more flash.     Just wish it cast like a 110.     

 

I forgot how sharp the hooks were, and that's after 25-30 fish easy on it.   Tied it on, look down 5 mins later and blood is on my cork knobs......oh that's right I tied that WM on ?
