Big tackle boxes are very handy for some types of boat fishing.
I have a slew of them that I use regularly, but for striped bass plugging or small boat stuff they don't fit enough large plugs and take up too much space.

I have tried swimming with a 5 gallon bucket but it's very difficult  |
No boat, back in the suds.

Just an FYI for the youngsters. Back in the day, long ago, no one made a surf plug bag so we use to go to the Army/Navy stores and buy WWII gas mask bags and convert them to carry plugs.

Try it with the lid on next time. |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

swimability. with a double barrel, a shorty bag and a bucktail pouch, i can swim out to rocks. I wont even use a big lure bag, they act as a drift sock. Standing waist deep in the ocean kinda limits your options

Phooey.
Soft sided bags are becoming the rage simply because some scamp with a sewing machine decided to make his own and empower his minions to do the same...much like he did with wooden fishing lures. Next thing you know canvas prices will skyrocket and Singer's stock will be over 100 bucks...now where did I put that box of needles? |

Thats what I am doing. I just don't trust my mind enough to be confident that I have considered all angles. The fabric is kinda pricey already, at least the fabric I am using (1050 ballistic nylon 2yds. $28, Hypalon $35.50/yd. plus shipping or Rhinotek $21/yd plus shipping) for the bottom, then add the hardware d-rings , grommets, tubes etc. and it adds up quick. I was considering what to do for inside the bag as far as making it easy to pull a plug out without dealing with tangled trebles or hooks penetrating the fabric which lead me to seek the advice here. |

Not as awesome as buying 4 Hunters, which would have been cheaper.

Those are awesome George. Unreal work. |
