Tackle/worm bags

[Jeff H]

I wasn't sure which forum to put this in, but anyway....

I was wondering if anyone else here uses these type of storage bags for their plastics.  Been using these Producto bags for years and really like them.  They also have a zippered storage pouch on the inside for your finesse hooks, splitshot etc.  Extra internal bags available also.  It is a product I really like  and thought I would share and at the same time ask if anyone else uses these kinds of bags instead of hard plastic boxes.  I currently have 3 used for finesse worms, Craws and tubes.  The quality is excellent and the price is fair.  Check them out.  And no I don't work for and am not sponsored by them but I do really like their stuff.

Then only problem is if you have multiple bags then you need some way to label them so you know which one you are grabbing out of the storage compartment in your boat.

That looks to be a nice product. Could be handy if you move your lures around alot, or fish from other people's boats. I've fiddled around with different soft plastic storage solutions, and for me the gallon sized zippered freezer bags are ideal. I group them into categories, and leave them in their original packaging. The bags have a white space to label them, are tough, just the right size, waterproof, and come 15 for 2 bucks!

I do the exat same thing that Bob does. I love it. I keep my gallon bags in a few small baskets in my boat. This helps to keep them from sliding around during rough rides.

I don't use that product but I do have a bunch of that type of bag.  I found them on clearance at Bass Pro for $5 each so I bought 10 of them.

I moved to 1/2 gal. Zip-Lock bags

I use BPS's version and there ok.  I think I try to keep too much stuff in them.

group them into categories

Hey Fluke and Bob how do catagorize?  I'm going by type of soft plastics, ie. senko's, lizards, gulp, worms, flukes.  But it can still be hard to find exact stuff quickly and I have 6 bags.  Any suggestions?

I group by type too. I'll have between 5 and 15 packages in each category, maybe 6 or 7 categories,and I don't have too much trouble finding what I need. Of course, whatever is rigged up I will have that pack on the deck with me for quick access.

JigMan,

How do you set up your bags?  Do break them down to different sized plastics, such as 4" worms in one bag and 6" worms in another?  I need to reorganize mine, which means I'll have to get a couple more bags (if not 3-4 more) and am looking for ideas.

Hey guys,

I do the same thing.  I use the gallon freezer bags and write on them what types of plastics are inside.

I have bags of Senkos; wacky rigged Senkos ready to go; finesse worms; by colors; and by styles (creature, lizzards, tubes, etc.)

I put the bags of the lures I think I will use the most separate from my boxes of hard baits and the other bags of plastics while in the boat.

I take a bag of the plastics for my tackle box when pond fishing.

So how do I separate them?  It just depends.  If I know the water clarity and the vegitation I will put a bunch of differenct baits in the "watermealon" bag.

If it is in the spring I put the different lizzards and brush hogs in one bag, without regard to color.

I have all of my Gulp! together in one bag.

I put the Senkos in the 4-inch, 5-inch and 6-inch bags without regard for color.

I have all of my Mocassion Blue plastics together.

Just do it anyway you want.  It saves a lot of time when rigging and changing baits.

i use a storm worm wallet that fits on my waist great for when fishing as a co angler

I store some "inventory"  (original packaging) in a sleeve within my tackle bag. For "regular" usage, I carry a 3600 Plano box with five sections for soft plastics and one subdived for (1)hooks; (2) weights, swivels and beads. For bank fishing this fits onto a back pouch on my fishing vest. I carry Fat Ika, 6" Senko, Kreatures, tubes and Kut-Tail, unwrapped and ready to go. The Plano plastic box retains freshness, but allows immediate access. This works perfectly for me.

The rest of my inventory is kept in original packages in a temperature controlled fishing room off my garage. Some of my baits are probably 10 years old, but just as fresh as anything recently purchased. I don't think soft plastics have a "shelf life" if properly stored.

I do a similiar thing.  Mostly use the original packaging in a ziploc but I break them down by

1. style/type

2. length

I use these; the double sized.

Ten "pages" on each side hold a lot of plastics. I use a sharpie to write on the top of each side what's in it. Thay have four small zippered compartments on each inside front panel for terminal tackle.

I use one bag for Senkos on one side and Ikas on the other. Another bag has worms and flukes. Another, just tubes. Another for trick worms and craws. One more for Cut-Tails and hula grubs. Each side of each bag has the correct terminal tackle for the baits in that section.

I was a little concerned at first about the zippers, because i tend to stuff these things full, but the zippers have held up. No problems at all. In fact the only problem I've had is the markings I've put on them with a sharpie. I've been caught out the rain more than I probably should, and the writing will wash out if the bag gets soaked. That's actaully beena blessing in disguise, because it's allowed me to re-organize a couple of times, with fresh markings.

Great little bags for the money. They go on sale every spring, and I pick up a couple every year. I have sevaral that I don't use since I trimmed down on plastics last year. For short trips, I'll take pages out of the regular marked bags and fill up a spare for that particular trip. Works out nicely.

I keep all my spare plastics, in the original packages, stored in a closet in the house. Except for the Chompers baits. If the package is opened once, the smell will not stay in the bag. I do not keep those in the house, or in the car.

Cheers,

I have been using a BPS Extreme worm bag. It has been a life saver. In the front side I keep all my worm baits and in the back I have lizards, creatures, beavers, and Ikas. I arrange them by length and color and I also keep them in the origanal bags.
