Joedodge Posted March 15 Posted March 15 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 March 15 Super User Posted March 15 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 March 15 Author Posted March 15 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 March 15 Super User Posted March 15 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 March 15 Author Posted March 15 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 March 15 Super User Posted March 15 Simms dry creek gear bag is my favorite. Quote
IYAOYAS Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I keep everything in the bag except for swimbaits. I keep them in a 3700 tray. 2 Quote
Super User GreenPig Posted March 15 Super User Posted March 15 I leave them in the bags. I'd never remember their name, size, COLOR, etc. 1 Quote
Super User Bird Posted March 15 Super User Posted March 15 In the bags here. Almost have to with Elaztech. 2 Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted March 16 Super User Posted March 16 Original bag or replacement laminated bag- then those in either 3607-10 or 3707 open compartment boxes. 2 Quote
MonsterZero Posted March 16 Posted March 16 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 March 16 Super User Posted March 16 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 March 16 Posted March 16 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 March 17 Posted March 17 I like the plane speed bag and leave them the original packaging Quote
Super User king fisher Posted March 17 Super User Posted March 17 I store mine in my car, where they will melt that way I have an excuse to buy more. 1 Quote

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

I move the dividers around as I need them. 1 Quote

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
