Boat tackle bags

[Goose]

I recently got a waterproof bag from Basspro,the Extreme Messenger Bag. Its the medium size of the three bags but still big enough to stuff clothing and anything else you need.

My real score are what I use for boat tackle bags. These I found at Savers. Although I know that does nothing for the purpose of this thread,, there are some great bags that can be used for tackle at Savers, or thrift shops. Both of these bags are compact travel bags made for shampoo and hygiene products. The red bag I use for electronics/tackle bag with lots storage and the other I use as a tuna tackle bag, with a large side pocket for leaders. He shoots he scooooores... that's how I feel about these bags.

Plano makes a shelf-organizer thingy that can hold 3 or 4 3700 boxes. fits inside a milk crate.... cost is around $25. they look OK, but I've only seen them online- never in person though

I'll tell ya.....I find it hard to organise all my fishing stuff and then be happy with it. Always looking for something in a rush and not being able to find it. I think the better way is the plano boxes with a big majic marker......tuna, bass, cod etc. And then a way to stow those so they are not sliding around the deck.

the problem i have found with using any "household" bags for boat purposes is that the zippers tend to get stuck after a little exposure.

I have one large bag that holds 7 plano trays and has pockets for whatever else - leader spools, small tools, etc. simlar to the large one of these Bass Pro Shops Extreme Boat Bags | Bass Pro Shops
I end up switching out boxes depending on what type of fishing i plan on, but usually it is good for a few weeks as seasons progress. I have one plano that has all hooks & terminal tackle that never leaves the box, and one with sinkers that also never leaves the bag.

Then I have a white bucket that I usually throw a bag of frozen squid or some other bait I am bringing, and i throw a bait knife and a lip gripper in there. When I am fishing, i usually end up hanging the lures/rigs that I am switching between on the bucket, and then sort it all out when I get home, instead of constantly putting them back in their trays.

I would like to find a better system, but haven't yet. And not for lack of looking.

I have one of those yellow Bass Pro Extreme boat bags. Awesomely tough and waterproof bag but........

The D rings i have to cut off because they are steel and rusting. Called BP to bitch about that but "thed rings aren't under the warrantee". Yes on a boat bag...go figure.

Also inside the top cover of the bag is a fishnet liner with a zipper. This looks like a great place to store stuff but can i tell you how freaking long it takes to get fish hooks untangled from that fine fish net stuff....omg.
