MitchIsFishin Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I know this has been brought up, but looking for tips/hints/suggestions on what to do with my crankbaits. Been throwing them into plano boxes and just trying to make rooms. Help? Thanks Quote
OK Bass Hunter Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I use the Falcon FTO Crankbait boxes. Quote
Redhed Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 we keep ours seperated from shallow to deep. i have a large duffell bag full of plano's filled with cranks. keep them out of heat and severe cold and sun and they will be fine. sort them how you wish. its not rocket science Quote
moby bass Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I just use the Plano boxes. What are you wanting to do different? Do you want to sort by size, depth or color. Or maybe use smaller boxes for ease of carry? Are you looking for organizing or carrying hints? Quote
T-Bone Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I use the Falcon FTO Crankbait boxes. This is the most organized way IMO. Quote
MitchIsFishin Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 Thanks guys, appreciate it. Saw the Falcon boxes, but yes, I'm just wondering about simple organizing and storage. Quote
SPAZ Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I use the falcon fto boxes as well and I think they are great. Quote
BASS fisherman Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I use the Plano flipsider box for my cranks. I have never seen a FTO falcon box, but I have heard that the Plano flipsider box has more space. Quote
MitchIsFishin Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 Thanks guys. Going to BPS later in the week & check them out. Quote
Pitchinkid Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 The Falcon Boxes are awesome, just with they where bigger and held more. But do seperate and protect the cranks very well. Quote
zbass Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I seperate mine by depth. 1-4' 4'-8' 8'-12' 12'-deeper traps jerks tops I also keep one plano box empty so before a trip I fill it with the ones I want to take. Hope that helps. Quote
Super User Muddy Posted February 17, 2009 Super User Posted February 17, 2009 Hey: I got a good idea from Micro, without him even knowing. He sent me some baits with treble hook bonnets. I think he did it so the lures would not get scratched. When I go to the store next I will be getting some, It will allow to put similar lures in the same slot of a Plano Type Box without the lures becoming all tangled up. They are much easier to take off than I thought, and will allow me to put 2 or 3 of the same bait in a slot. Quote

The_Natural Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I use plano 3700's Shallow Shad Shallow Chartreuse Medium Shad Medium Chartreuse Deep Large Divers (DD22's and such) go in the double-deep 3700's Traps Jerkbaits Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 17, 2009 Super User Posted February 17, 2009 I store my cranks by depth in my plastic tackle boxes. In plastic boxes INSIDE MY HOUSE WITH ALL OTHER TACKLE. If you keep all the different depths together it is easier to select a color knowing that all the cranks will dive to the depth you are seeking. Just my two cents. Quote
MitchIsFishin Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 Good suggestions - thanks everyone, I appreciate it. Quote
ALLEN18 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Having the same problem, tried the Bass Pro Shops® XPS® Double Sided Tangle-Free Crankbait Organizer. Was a waste of money, looked great ordered it, placed three crankbaits per row. Turned it over to fill other side, and everything was tangled up. Not worth the shipping cost to send it back, so now I use it worm plastics. Quote
