Mike I have a huge man cave stocked with everything you can imagine for tying flies. Storage has always been in flux. You showed me two things here that will help with my new idea. Thank you!
Ike I have similar ideas that I have done on crankbaits. For example flickershads I have sticker on what size and colors organized and bills pointed in one direction. If plug bill opposite I know I don't run straight. Also label how many of total boxes. Like 2/5 box 2 of 5 then I know which I looking at. Oh and I put dive curve copied on lid of box works also. I buy 6 of each color and size but, I keep one new plug in its package that I never use just to keep it for color to duplicate airbrushing. Good stuff ike. Thank you
*Exceeded my expectations **enjoyable.fishing** recommend in quality & appearance - bought this for my 9 yr old daughter, but would recommend it for any age girl*
Z rust technology, works well! Plano cases, too. Btw, Sixth Sense makes some really nice rod sleeves , 9.99 worth it to protect ya rods. I got your tackel bag , the bigger book bag version , looking at that Ike shoulder carry bag now ... Got a KVD bag made for soft plastics , it's a leather pouch looking thing , small fits them soft plastic bags perfectly!!!! That whole Plano box is awesome, but the soft plastic KVD Plano bag is cool. Just saying , I buy Ike stuff too , believe eeeeeee me. Vmc makes some of the best hooks .... Love their drop shot 🪝 Has split ring on both sides for rigging. That moon juice color code , omg bass love moon juice or The Deal !!!!!!!!
Hey Ike: Tip: On your big "permanent" markings, put transparent packing tape (available in same width as bright duct tape) aligned right over top. That way, the markings truly don't fade or wear off. Cheers.
Hey Mike, why all weight in the back, gets you faster on a plane in a bass boat? I keep all my heavy stuff (trolling motor battery, a cooler) in the front of my jon boat to keep it balanced. Not much free board, don't wanna get swamped. A fat guy in a back of a canoe comes to mind, haha. Also cuts into the waves with the nose, not with the boat bottom, smoother ride.
Ike you are such a beast and pro in life man. It's crazy seeing all these anglers creating social media and the how you adopted it so early and created an entire community around you. You're a great role model for the younger generation. We both know the real secret weapon to success is Becky though, making the Ike machine run smoothly! #GoingIke
Love the labeling and the fact that the heavy tackle goes in the back of the bass boat , performance for the bass boat matters , going across a chop on the back end of the bass boat makes a lot of difference and the over all getting it up on that pad , thanks mr. mike loved it !
Wow very nice. Wish I was that well set up. I run a kids fishing group. Last 17 years. We lost our home business when I got hurt bad. Packed up loved south. But ide just threw 3 tournaments to say thanks to our town for 20 years of business so wanted to take bunch kids fishing. Then lost home moves south I keep giving away all my tackle while I was selling every other thing I owned was even homeless 3 months with my 7 year old daughter we had fun spent most on the river I brought my van pontoon boat a d bus south. So we stayed in boat month than cops run us off every place we stayed cops run me away. Tried to take my daughter. Didn't happen. Raised her from 7 months till well she's 22 now just left home. So I wasn't giving up my daughter. But we fished Gabe away baits rods reels til my heart attack 4 years ago than virus hit. But im retiring but I want to travel Ina bus or rv if I can afford one. Lost my life saving on a big truck and toy hauler got scammed they seen handi cap man can't climb latter's to check the top can craw under it looked like new toy hauler got home 3 months layer it had so much water rote in ceiling the ruff fell now its flat bed the trucks no good out 6k truck 3k was 4k camper. Got a bus but Tran bad so looking to sell all find something. Than I want to take all my fishing camping gear drive state to state giving it all away just keeping what I use. So selling a d giving away th rest my house stuff trying to buy cheaper baits. Did good on plasitc but buying hard baits spinner baits when I find on sale or used from yard sales. Then man hooks got so high fishing line got high. So every tome I sell something I buy something. But I have to find what kinda totes to buy. We give 24 soft baits away. 4 each kind than 6 difrent kinds. But can't pack in one bag I didnt no that so I don't no what to do. If I pack 4 to bag give ÷ kids 6 bags that's gonna cost so much I may not get to do my way so kids get more types of baits. So im worried now I buy bunch bags than can't get hooks or fishing line or no more hard baits. I love giving. 17 years to short want to make it to 20 years. But stuff cost to much. But ill be living in my ride close to my. Drs office lol. Ok I'll hush I say to much when it's about fishing. Plus my heart attack ide got hit in head years ago then ⁴ or so hears after I. START getting dizzy and throwing up just drying off. Looking up laying on ,y back get dizzy. The Dr said may be skull cracked when look up side to side or Kay back its poking my brain guess small piece fell off. So it messed up my way talking typing a d trying to well tell a story takes to long to say it. So sorry if you read prob don't make since. It does to me till. Days later I'll be like what. Lol so sorry. Great video been following some your fishing since you started. Keep having fun. God bless
This was a great video loaded with great usable info. I’m a bit OCD and have a smaller boat(Tracker 175) so storage is limited. This is going to help me a ton. Thanks Mike!
Love the idea of a bait box you can change up from tournament to tournament. I also created what you called the “Panic Box”. That has come in handy and has allowed me two weigh in a couple fish last year when I was desperate. Wasn’t going to get a win, just add to overall points.
How bout a shop video on that line spooling station.... saw that w/Milliken, would love a quick parts and build breakdown. That is a time saver for tourney prep...
I had the majority of my baits stolen out of my boat. Luckily it was late fall so I took all of my rods inside. They pretty much got everything else. After losing at least 15 years of collection I had no idea how expensive it would actually be to replace it all. I have a garage now but still only buy as I need. People laugh when I say I gotta buy a jerkbait. People say 1? I say yep I lost one and I got one in the boat so I gotta buy one more LOL. I see this video and I am extremely jealous.

Wish I could afford to have multiple of things
Really like the way you have your baits organized. I've been having a hard time figuring how this is a great solution. Thanks for sharing 👍

Goooood video!!!! Love the way you have everything organized and labeled!!! Like the Flambeau blade box, just ordered one.
Awesome! Thank you!
Where do you keep your Hooks, Swivels, Beads & line? How about tools and buoy markers....Do you carry extra reels?...Just wondering?.

Great video!
Do you have a similar one for your organization of your Hobie?
Thanks!
Roger, The Smiling BassHole
If I had that much tackle I would do this, but I do love the organization of your boat Ike.
Humble man not a bragger bro that's why I am a ike fan!!
Great info! You are an ICON.!
I appreciate that! Never Give Up!

Like the build a box idea for a trip!! Will work great for kayak fishing
good stuff brother keep the vids coming TIGHT LINES from Texas
Mike you are the man
I really needed a starting point and this is awesome. Thanks!
This was a great video loaded with great usable info. I’m a bit OCD and have a smaller boat(Tracker 175) so storage is limited. This is going to help me a ton. Thanks Mike!
I love these videos both for the tips and I feel like I get to know you better as well
Great video Ike. Tight lines
Informative video, Ike.
Thanks Mike makes a lot of sense. 👍🎣
Whats insurance on that boat fully loaded for a full day on the water
Great video love the channel keep killin it!!!!!!!
Great information.
Celebrity boxing match Kvd vs Ike yes I’m reading your book.
Great tips brother, this is gonna come in handy when my boat thaws out....lol
I took your advice & put the heavy stuff in the back of my boat 21’ Skeeter w/Mercury 250 ... I noticed it gets on pad faster & smoother
great tips!
Love the idea of a bait box you can change up from tournament to tournament.
I also created what you called the “Panic Box”. That has come in handy and has allowed me two weigh in a couple fish last year when I was desperate.
Wasn’t going to get a win, just add to overall points.
I just bought that blade crate box. It’s really nice. Definitely recommend those ZeeRust boxes. 👍🏻
I've seen you on the highways and byways- nice setup
How bout a shop video on that line spooling station.... saw that w/Milliken, would love a quick parts and build breakdown. That is a time saver for tourney prep...
I love the in the shops, I really like the going Ike’s, are you going to film any Tournaments that would be super awesome.
Hey Mike great tips do you leave those soft plastics on the boat all summer? Will they melt or get messed up? Thanks
Hey bro im trying to buy one of your flat bill hats but can't tell wich one it is can you tell me wich one it is on your website
Nice set up man! I really like the flambeau regular boxes, but those waterproof box latches suck. Plano waterproof boxes are way better in my opinion
Nice 👍
You’re missing the best DT4 color Ike! Red Crawldad
Do you add the Flambeau stickers on or do they come with it
I had the majority of my baits stolen out of my boat. Luckily it was late fall so I took all of my rods inside. They pretty much got everything else.

Good luck fishing, what are you fishing this year. Thought I’d see you back on Elite circuit
Let's go
Good tips man, thank you
Yooo
How about doing one for how you organize on your kayak? Since we’re so limited on space lol thanks for another great video
Especially soft plastics
