Joedodge Posted Saturday at 07:52 PM Posted Saturday at 07:52 PM So I did a search and found a lot of older articles and posts. But as I build out my bank fishing bag. I’m debating trying a 3600 Plano with just the baits I need for a trip. Thoughts and advice? Quote
Super User TOXIC Posted Saturday at 08:29 PM Super User Posted Saturday at 08:29 PM All of my soft plastics are in boxes unless it is a bait that I might want to try and not give up space in my box from something I know I will throw. I do understand bank fishing limits your carrying ability. 1 Quote
Joedodge Posted Saturday at 08:31 PM Author Posted Saturday at 08:31 PM Love it! Years ago when I was starting out fishing I used boxes. But I’m busier in life now and making my set up fast and easy for quick trips. And have a box so I was considering trying it again. Love your set up Quote
Super User TOXIC Posted Saturday at 08:35 PM Super User Posted Saturday at 08:35 PM The box with the Senkos is 2 sided so I have another side for different size Senkos. I also have a Ned rig plastics box that has both the heads and the baits in it. Quote
Joedodge Posted Saturday at 08:48 PM Author Posted Saturday at 08:48 PM Very nice! What I’m considering doing is a Plano 3600 and putting baits by color. Pairing different baits of the same color in a spot. So I can maximize what I carry in a small sling pack Quote
Super User webertime Posted Saturday at 09:05 PM Super User Posted Saturday at 09:05 PM Simms dry creek gear bag is my favorite. Quote
IYAOYAS Posted Saturday at 09:26 PM Posted Saturday at 09:26 PM I keep everything in the bag except for swimbaits. I keep them in a 3700 tray. 2 Quote
Super User GreenPig Posted Saturday at 10:21 PM Super User Posted Saturday at 10:21 PM I leave them in the bags. I'd never remember their name, size, COLOR, etc. 1 Quote
Super User Bird Posted Saturday at 10:28 PM Super User Posted Saturday at 10:28 PM In the bags here. Almost have to with Elaztech. 2 Quote
chubaka Posted yesterday at 02:41 AM Posted yesterday at 02:41 AM I keep all my plastics in the original bag 3 Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted yesterday at 02:57 AM Super User Posted yesterday at 02:57 AM Original bag or replacement laminated bag- then those in either 3607-10 or 3707 open compartment boxes. 2 Quote
MonsterZero Posted yesterday at 04:15 AM Posted yesterday at 04:15 AM For most plastics, a Plano box is fine. Just do not mix colors/brands; some kinds of plastic do not play nice with each other and will destroy both baits, and colors tend to bleed over. 1 Quote

Super User Bankbeater Posted yesterday at 03:11 PM Super User Posted yesterday at 03:11 PM When I'm walking the bank I only carry 3 or 4 of each plastic bait. The entire bag of plastics take up too much space, and adds extra weight. When I get back home I put the baits back into their bags. 1 Quote

I’ve mixed same colors with some. Say 5 inch flukes and 4 inch flukes for trailers in the same bag 3-4 of each and leave the rest at home Quote
33oldtimer Posted yesterday at 04:50 PM Posted yesterday at 04:50 PM In the bags. Handy just to stick a bag of flukes or stick baits in my back pocket when fishing for just a little while. 1 Quote
GRiver Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago I like the plane speed bag and leave them the original packaging Quote
Super User king fisher Posted 8 hours ago Super User Posted 8 hours ago I store mine in my car, where they will melt that way I have an excuse to buy more. 1 Quote

Expand I like to mix certain soft plastics and let them bleed over. I have a specific slot just for pink zoom super flukes and black stick worms from Amazon. It’s some trial by fire to see which baits can play nice. I keep almost everything in box’s. 1 Quote

Expand That’s really what I may end up doing several of similar color baits but different styles in one row and such. I basically only fish some kind of watermelon reddish and black and blue or June bug. So I basically group flukes, ribbon tails and stick baits of similar color in a bag anyway 1 Quote
