Cool. I looked at a similar one made by Flambeau.The Maximizer Bait Cube...
its a a little smaller and a few bucks cheaper. I think these are categorized as storage for muskie lures.
Both are good options, but I think I am going to steal ideas from all
the methods in the thread and build my own thing. I am going with
a bin style as the base....but it will have attributes of the others.
These will be the features of the bin
1. Storage for about 30-40 plugs - linear hanger style
2. Storage for soft plastics and bucktails - tray style
3. Storage for duplicate plugs - container style
4. Storage/access points for tools...bolt cutters, scissors, screwdrivers, tape...
5. Leader and line dispensers
6. Storage for surf belt and plug bag
7. Illuminated interior
8. Spill proof...as...if I knock it over everything stays put.
9. Latching lid and possibly some lock down method
10. Self contained wash down....gonna fit it with a drain plug
The idea being that it is a sort of mini workstation module that is a
one stop location where I can find everything and quickly prep or
modify my surf bag on an outing or between locations. One thing I
don't like about the tube style storage methods...is that it is
natural to have the tendency to over pack them. In doing so... its
impossible to quickly locate a plug and extract it....so the primary
method of storage will be a linear hanger style. It may limit the
amount of lures I bring, but I consider it a feature. If I can't cover
the bases with 30-40 plugs for a 4 day outing...then there is
probably something wrong. I use either a 2 or 3 tube plug bag
when I fish....and like to fish light. 30 plugs is typically what I bring
on a 4 day outing and up until this point they have been tucked
into different plug bags and boxes. I am hoping this bin will help to
centralize things....and cut down on my fumbling around in a dark
trunk.
