BUYER'S GUIDE: Tackle Storage, Gear Protection, and Line Management!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Tackle Management is critical! Keeping your gear safe and easily accessible is one of the most time consuming jobs an angler has both on and off the water. Through the years we've narrowed down the gear we rely on to properly protect our gear both at home and on the water. Whether you're walking the shore, hopping on a plane, or getting in the boat, these are items we trust.
Tackle storage at home, on the boat, traveling between vehicles, and while traveling on major trips, all requires different equipment. Its easy to spend a fortune on tackle management solutions so we're here to help narrow it down for you. Each of these items came out of our personal gear and is an item that has tangibly helped us stay more organized.
If any of these items stand out to you, you can find them linked below. We've listed them in the order they appeared in the video to help you find the right items quickly. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

I had to look up everything the guy on the right side with saying. Dumb it down for those of us beginners I'm real impressed by you
Losing my mind that we’ve gotten like 10 TB videos in a row and my wallet is still *sorta* full 😅 those SPRO boxes are sweet! I actually keep one at work (I’m an auto tech) for smaller nuts and bolts, it’s worked great for that! Tim, I see you can also be just as long winded as Matt, so all we need now is a combined jerkbait/swimbait/lipless/storage video and we will be watching for hours 😂
Bwahahaha got him! You knew he had it in there somewhere 😂
@@tacticalbassin It is pretty awesome how the two of you just roll with one another and say.... Go ahead you go first oh wait a second...lol Then one of you just rolls with it and the other just chuckles.. Love it!! You guys are awesome
Nice. Thank you for the Replay back. Even with my name. I have been watching you 2 for allot of years and every year these buyers Videos are just so awesome... Thank you 2 so much for putting the time and effort onto these videos...
The most truthful statement In bass fishing. "You can't bring everything with you." Perfect.
"That was a terrible outro.." 🤣 bahahaha Tim is tough! You two are the best! Thank you for the vids!
I would love to see a couple videos on how you travel with your gear. Storage, rod storage, rod brands, what you take and how much.
When I say travel; I’m not talking a day trip or to your local lake to bank fish. I’m talking air travel, RV/camper, driving in a SUV for a week going to several lakes or regions in the US.
Also what’s involved to take items on an air plane, insurance, luggage checking and over sized luggage, etc.
Thanks
You got it Tim, I like thinner boxes too, especially for crankbaits! I'll take the Plano 3701 and 3601 boxes ALL DAY! Thinner boxes mean more boxes in the same bag space AND MORE IMPORTANTLY it means MORE SNUG storage so crankbaits don't scratch against each other as much. To me this is especially essential for lipless cranks and jerkbaits.
For sure! There are so many benefits to thin boxes 👊
Bank angler here. I use 2 of the Plano 3700 boxes; one for reaction (Chatterbaits, crankbaits, jerkbaits, etc) and one for terminal tackle, worms, ned rig baits, creature baits, jigs, etc. And I put those, along with a bag of other soft plastics (Z Man) in my Sog Ninja Daypack and I'm good to go. It has room for all that, plus water bottle, scale, pliers and Molle webbing so that I can clip on scissors and a towel.
Thank you for the Spro box tip, I'm 100% Kayak and terminal tackle can be a nightmare, the extra large spros fit in my side pockets on my Dorado and they are awesome!
I fish from an Old Town AP. The best way to store spinnerbaits and smaller glide baits is the Plano Edge fold up bag. You can fit so many baits in one of those and it’s way easier to store than a big bulky spinnerbaits box.
My OCD is so happy looking at your Plano edge tackle set up. I hope to be able to switch to all Plano edge.
great job guys!! that was one of my favorite vid’s for sure.
I love the fly box for hair jigs. I need to shop around for a little bigger though. Some of the hair jigs I tie for Northern Pike are 6”-8” long. The normal jigs are about the size of your hair jigs but 3/8-1/2 oz. I already a dedicated pike storage bag filled with Plano boxes, only fish for them a couple times a year.
I like some of those boxes you can adjust. I find when I go fishing now, I have to determine what season, where I'm going, the weather, and then just put several baits together in an extra box or two. Carrying everything I own is too much. Lol! Anyway, I went yesterday from the bank and took a few jerk baits, some soft plastics and accessories, and a few jigs. I ended up catching a limit of bass mostly on the jerkbait and Texas rigging a blue and black creature bait. Needless to say, I am stoked. The first spot I went to was dead, so I went to my second spot and had an awesome trip. I have a canoe with a trolling motor that I get out with some, but mostly fish from the bank since much is not accessable.
That Spro terminal box looks like what I need for my ice fishing tube jig heads. 🤙
What we really need a to see is a video of y’all’s garage tackle organization.
The plano z-séries is amazing, I usually either fill it with 3600 boxes and some other stuff when I go on someone else boat, and if it's on my kayak then I fill it small kvd speed bags full of my soft plastic.
I definitely need to improve my boat storage. I like the way y'all separated your baits by technique. That would make it much easier to change colors and sizes of baits when needed.
Another great video guys! 👍🏼 You should add the TW link to the AFTCO urban anglers pack…they sell them and are in stock.
I bought the Plano edge terminal tackle box and it holds everything I had in a much thicker box, and takes up a lot less space in my small boat that has very limited storage. they are a bit pricey but very much worth every penny.
They are great!
That ending! 🤌
I think those smaller, clamshell boxes like that SPRO are understated. They don't just hold 'a bit' of terminal, they actually hold quite alot in each individual slot. Alot of space is wasted vertically on traditional boxes. I use a Lost Creek clamshell box that has up to 20 configurable slots, and it's perfect for hooks, weights, snaps, and jig heads up to 3/0 hooks. It's really downsized and saves space compared to the 3500 box I was using! I can cram eight 1/8 and six 3/8 Tungsten bullet weights in a single slot.
We totally agree! It's amazing how much they'll hold!
I recently picked up a few Buzbe tackle boxes. They are great. Only draw back is that they are very heavy.
We've been extremely impressed! The weight is the trade off for durability for sure because these boxes are SOLID.
After these shopping guides are done, you should do a tackle storage video for the majority of us... how do you organize a (non-sickness) tackle supply to keep on your boat... my tackle bag holds 4 regular 3700 size boxes or 2 regular and 3 thin 3700 boxes. I get the concept of having 20 boxes at home and making day boxes all the time, but for most of us, that doesn't make sense.
I agree with these Edge boxes. They are the best out there!
Just bought two Plano Edge 3700 Thin (need to keep things compact for my kayak fishing) to try out and to replace the various cheaper boxes of similar size that I need to buy a new of every so often because the lids keep friggin deforming themselves without exception. One I hadn't used even a month, and when closed (two snaps on the long side) the lid at one of the short side was already curved upwards with almost half an inch.
One of the things I learned from my photography hobby is that there is a constant stream of new overpriced storage solutions. A few years down the road they are resold for pennies on the dollar. I stick to Plano boxes for immediate use, the rest is stored on cardboard sheets stacked in boxes. And of course the most important storage rule - control the GAS.
I use that Spro box for all of my flipping and T-rig weights, drop shot and wacky hooks, etc for kayak as well. Hasn’t failed me yet. And it’s waterproof!
I looked at that one as a possible replacement for my Plano 3449-22 that I keep my terminal in (bank angler) . Looks plenty durable.
Outstanding….you guys are truly one of a kind and yes, tackle organization is a monster. Need to get a closer look at this Aftco „finesse“ backpack 👍
It looks really nice. Do wish they made a fanny pack or waist bag. The places where I bank-fish here in Florida have all manner of Creepy-Crawlies that love to make their homes in backpacks lying on the ground.
@@oldeschoolbob1022 I understand….no such problem here in Germany but indeed, a waist bag would be a great alternative.
I have the BUZBEs. the configurability is nice. 2 things I don't care for are that there seems to be a lot of wasted space because the sides of the pop boxes when together are pretty thick. Also, if the pop boxes are not completely snapped in, makes it is hard to close the box flush.
i know it’s not related but try milwaukee packout boxes for fishing one time. it’s a modular storage system usually used in trades but i could see where it would be nice for the guy that beats on his or her fishing gear.
Plano edge boxes are a love hate relationship to me, love that they can be opened one handed then hate that they can be so easily opened and the latch is a little worrisome at times one side will connect while the other didn’t
The hard plastic also isn't as durable as the flexible plastic on the regular boxes. Flambeau boxes seem even more robust
Thank you, gentlemen. Tim gets a points deduction for not having the line spool bands color-coded by pound test. 🤣 . That Urban Angler Pack looks nice, but I have no need for a water bag, and backpacks in general are problematic for me in that you usually have to take them off and set them down in the dirt / mud / Crawly Creatures to get into them. Personally, I like fanny packs / waist bags better; would love to see AFTCO make one for us. Thanks!
OMG that box of JackHammers. I want to see that thing up close. Just go over the colors and weights for each in depth.
The plano edge terminal tackle boxes are the best storage solution to hit the fishing industry in ages.
Please do a guide on travel rods and other travel gear. Would really like to hear about high and mid range options.
Tim telling Matt to put a sock in it 😂
What’s a good tackle solution for storing larger soft swimbaits like the mag drafts on the boat?Sometimes Laying some soft baits down in boxes messes the tails up and then they don’t swim right after. Is there’s a good storage box that keeps the soft tail baits from getting messed up?
I'll be honest. Half of the tackle storage I have isn't even for tackle but fits things perfect. Like the keitech 5.8 and bigger and all other clam packs end up going in this art supply organizer I got from a craft store
You can put those moisture packs from the filters of the plano boxes in the oven. I throw them in for 10 minutes and I can reuse them
Hey guys, new subscriber. I’ve been watching some of your older videos and was wondering if you could start saying the actual water temp. You say late fall, winter, the outside temp, I’m sure you have on some videos I haven’t watched yet. Thanks for the info
There's actually a reason we don't. We've noticed in our drives around the country that a lot of fish behavior is dictated by season, length of day, and moon phase, more than by water temp. Sure there are some water temp generalizations but if we include it a lot of guys will miss amazing patterns waiting for it to warm up 2 more degrees. You're far better to work off of season patterns and ignore water temp in our opinion.
Love the EDGE series, except for deep cranks. I can fit so many more cranks in the old waterproof 3700 boxes with the 3 latches than I can in an Edge 3700.
Their plastic could definitely use more UV protection though
@@kenneth9874 I’ve heard those complaints. Fortunately I haven’t experienced any issues, yet….
Unfortunately you have to be extremely careful with those Edge boxes. You can’t leave them out on your boat deck in the hot sun if you keep hard lures in them. They will get too hot and destroy your lures. I’ve had to learn the hard way and replace some expensive lures this year!
Once again, another fantastic presentation. One concern I have about playing a wedge is that the boxes are very heavy. It seems to be a big trade-off in tackle management when we’re constantly trying to make our entire fishing experience lighter by weight. Is the trade-off really worth the extra weight for the tackle management?
Not really. Everything the Plano edge boxes can hold can be held in a regular plastic Plano (or even better, flambeau) box that will hold up better
Hey Tim, looking at your ned rig box do you have elaztech in there and if so does it play nice with the edge boxes? I couldn't tell what baits you had in there. I'm guessing you keep the zman stuff stored separately?
No. They stay in their own packages 👍
People keep sleeping on the Plano Z-Series lure wrap. As a co angler I can pack in 12lbs of plastics and keep more edge boxes in my backpack if I wanted to. I'll attach a carabiner to the loop handles to the pack and still have 2 free hands to carry rods.
That's awesome!!
can you guys do a “how to clean and oil your reel” video(s)?
I have the spinner bait box. I do not care for it takes up a lot of room for what it holds of course I throw buzz baits in there too. I’m looking for something like a binder if you guys have any suggestions.
What brand is that reel bag? Thanks for the content!
I will say that Im a bit disappointed in the Eye Surrender swimbait wrap. I’ve had the same issue that several others have had with the stiching on the clear dividers coming loose and I don’t even treat it tough nor stack more than one bait per slot.
Killer video guys
Thanks again guys!
We're happy to do it!
I'm interested in knowing your labeling system, what are you using to make your labels?
Have you guys tried the new Lakewood swimbait boxes they designed with Bucca?
I'ma have to check these out
We've used Lakewood boxes over the years, we haven't specifically tried Bucca's.
Do you guys do house cleaning?
Great information guys. So what is your preference for sorting crankbaits. By brand or by depth?
It depends on how many we have of a style. For example... Tactical Cranks get their own box, Spro Rockcrawlers get their own box... but there's also a "mid cranks", "deep cranks", "shallow squarebill", "spring squarebill", etc...
@@tacticalbassin Thanks for the reply. That's the way I do it as well BUT it always seems to happen that when I'm on the water a bait I want is home in the garage.
What box are you guys using for deep crankbaits 6x-10x ? Did not see this is video….
Can you please list the Arig box? Its listed as a spinnerbait box. Thanks
Hi , can you please send me the link to your Aftco back pack review. Thank you!
"My spinning rods go into pink or purple to remind myself that I've turned into a wimp." 💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣
Bwahaha 😂😂
i would love to see how you organise all this tackle in your boats?
How quickly after thr video was finished did Matt order the A-Rig storage tool? You could tell he was impressed by it.
😂 You read us well
I have that box, and the permanent lengthwise dividers all got warped.
Hi. On a different note. I arrived back to the USA and wanted to buy somr hog farmer spunk shad 5.5 that you reviewed in your chatterbait trailers a year ago. Can't find them anywhere. Are they discontinued? Thanks for any insight you can give.
They are at Tackle Warehouse.
Anyone know if there are any big, floating POD storage containers to tow behind my kayak? I have way too many lures, thx to Tactical Bassin' buyers guides 🤷♂️
I have a kvd 3600 signature series we’re do I get more bait file bags?
I have a question what r some good wader/fishing shoes/boots?
I like my edge pro's, love my buzbe's!!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback 👍🏼
What do you store your jerkbaits in? Do you use the “spoon box”? Or a normal 3700? Thanks
Normal 3700 or the slim 3700. You can't get anywhere near as many in the Spoon Box.
Can you do a review on your jet boat please?
Yes, we've actually done several. There are some recent changes to the boat however that could be covered again. If you search "tacticalbassin jet boat" I'll bet those previous videos will all pop up.
@@tacticalbassin ok thanks.. been following you for 12 months or more and haven't seen them..
I’m BROKE !! ran out of money after I bought the orochi xx with the curado mgl 150 I justified it by saying if Matt an go over budget I can to lol
😂 Broke sucks but if you have to end up there, that's a heck of a combo to do it with!!! You're going to love it!
@@tacticalbassin being broke as a kid versus an adult is way different lol
@tacticalbassin do a travel rod video for conventional and Swimbait rods
I have found the new Plano box latches suck, they are a pain to latch
Are there any hook covers available for BIG treble hooks? Like 5/0, 6/0, 7/0.
Not that we're aware of
I am sorry to have to ask but, after all of the years you two have been together, do you still get along off camera as you do on camera?
Ha! We get along really well on and off camera. If anything we wish we had more time to fish together! We accomplish more when we're divided but its sure more fun to go out and slay fish together!
@@tacticalbassin I really thought that would be the answer I would get. Love to see it.
Plano Z series bags are NOT WATERPROOF, only the base is. If you get stuck in a hard long rain these bags will get soaked, a drizzle you're cool.
Hey, organize and conquer
Lol!
First!🥇🎣🎄🦌☃️🎅🎁
Buzbe is what the tackle coffin boxes *should* have been
They're NICE! I just ordered some more!
My reels are all scratched up. It doesn’t impact their performance.
$60 for a 3700? I would have like $6000 in boxes alone lol. Too rich for my blood. They do look like a great system though.
First
Check out gammy gbox for hair jigs
Don’t make the mistake of storing Zmans elastic baits with other baits they will turn them into a nasty mess 😭
They turn into a nasty mess anyway in the heat
I will keep that in mind👍
Not a fan of those Plano boxes. Made in China of typical cheap China plastic. 1 drop and they explode.
Interesting… we haven’t experienced that
Left mine on my roof driving down the road! Box and baits were totally fine when I went back to grab it 😂
@TacticalBassin I dropped one from not more than 2 feet and it it blew a hole in the corner of the box and out came all my weights. shrug; Never an issue with Lure Lock tackle, though
Same comment about Buzbe. Made in China. Cheap plastic. Waaaay overpriced.
We've done a little digging and those two brands are making their boxes out of completely different materials. I'm not bashing or praising either in this comment, just pointing out that they're not apples to apples whatsoever. Its pretty interesting if you dig into it.
My dudes….merry christmas.
Merry Christmas!!
I know y’all probably received some harsh comments a while back when y’all were in Cali and did a video of a bunch of rods in y’all’s garage. I don’t know if y’all think it’d be worth doing. But can we get a video of how y’all store tackle at home? Like in the garage?
I'm not sure we're willing to go down that road again 😂😂😂
@@tacticalbassin 😂 couldn’t hurt to ask!!
