luckyinkentucky Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I need help organizing my plastics. I counted 93 bags on worms tonight that I now keep in a BPS Stalker bag. I'd like to keep them all in their original packages, and I'd like to have them in an orderly fashion, but don't know how to get them that way. For example, I don't like mixing my 5" Yum Dingers in with my 10" Culprit worms. I want to me able to find stuff when I go to look for it instead of having to sort through a whole tackle bag full of worms. Any ideas? Quote
S I G M A Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 i keep them organized by the manufacturer... but then i don't have 93 different bags either... Quote
Super User Sam Posted November 17, 2007 Super User Posted November 17, 2007 I have some by colors, like Junebug and Moccasin Blue. I have put the lizzards and creature baits together. I keep the trick worms by themselves. I have the Senkos by length. I have the plastics I use for fishing wacky by themselves, both finesse and Senkos. I put the others, flukes ,etc., in their own bags. I put them in gallon or the new two and a half gallon storage bags. Does this work? Not too bad but at least it is a start. Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted November 17, 2007 Super User Posted November 17, 2007 I keep all my plastics in their origional bags. I use the largest Ziploc Freezer bags I can buy. I take a hole punch and punch one hole in the upper corner of the ziploc bags to give a place for the are to escape. I sort out my plastics in piles and then place them in the ziplocs and lable them with a sharpie. Then I keep the bags in small baskets in my boat. I store all my extras and the ones I don't use very often in a four drawer plastic cabnet in my garage. http://www.sterilite.com/Category.html?Section=Storage&ProductCategory=151 http://www.sterilite.com/Category.html?Section=Storage&ProductCategory=141 Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted November 17, 2007 Super User Posted November 17, 2007 Organizing stuff is always a pain for me. I keep some in clear boxes, some in tackle bags and some in original packages. I bought a plastic closet at Lowes which has helped. In the pic it was just a couple of days old. I may have to buy another one. Quote
HPBB Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 this is what I had to do to get organized Quote
Super User grimlin Posted November 17, 2007 Super User Posted November 17, 2007 Go to walmart by their storage container section.There are a few plastic boxes that are "PERFECT" for storeing a large amount of soft plastic and the best part is you can neatly organize them.I have 3 of them and absolutely love them.I think they are around a buck and a half apiece for those boxes.Pretty cheap and a nice way of keeping everything organize and clutter less.

rboat Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 I use the soft sided wallets from BPS. The original bags fit into the zip lock clear bags. I keep a wallet for senkos, one for worms, one for flukes, one for toads, one for creatures, and one for finesse. The problem is that d**n monkey always wants to overfill them. I guess that is where the rubbermaid tub works for overstock. Quote
Charger169 Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 I use H2O softsided bags. Decide what goes into what bags. The problem I found when I started to organize was I HAD WAY TOO MANY PLASTICS that I didn't use. My advice, think it through and carry what you use, store the others. Quote

Tokyo Tony Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 There is no really effective way to organize all of your plastics if you have a lot. Keep them separated in size-appropriate containers, and before you go fishing, just pick through a few select bags that you'll probably need. Taking them all with you is a waste of space and time, and this is a lesson I still have not learned. I don't know that I'll ever learn. Quote
