Shoot, Skeeter, I had to buy a bass boat to hold all my stuff !

I keep my soft plastics in tackle binders, but do not use the ring system-I can get more bags in each one not using the rings.

My hard baits are in 3600s separated by type and color. I use some 1/2" bandage tape on the edges of the box to label what is in them.

Spinnerbaits I have bagged by blade combo in the same type binder I use for soft plastics, and buzzbaits I keep in one of the new Falcon buzzbait boxes-actually, there are 2 of them.

My terminal tackle I keep in a Falcon box designed for terminal tackle.

That said, like all of us I'm always tweaking how I store the gear-changing locations, how it is stored, etc.

All my boxs and bags are full, but not organized. I get out of p/u from bps, walmart or where ever I bait shop. I go to boat lift up seat and empty shopping bag. Baits under my seats have been there for along time. I need to clean it up. Glad you brought up the subject, gonna do it tomorrow, I think.

Just so y'all know, Raul is the guy who coined the phrase we all are so familiar with:

BAIT MONKEY!

So whats a good way for storing all these salt-impregnated super duper, guaranteed to catch fish, soft plastics..especially while you're off-season? I hate having all the bags of baits stuck in my tackle box and bag, so is there a way to store them to keep them from getting deformed and melted together before march comes?

Ken, if you keep them in the bags they will be OK. You could put them in a box like a 3600, but for me that takes up too much room. If you keep them in a cool dry place they should be fine. Just don't mix 3X baits with regular soft plastics-then you WILL have a melted mess.

ken, you know that glad ultraseal wrap stuff? the commercial shows this dude catching an enormous slamon. too big to be real of course, about the size of an average house. anyways, then hey showed how you use the wrap.you put the object on one sheet, and then you put another on top and seal it by pressing down the wrap around the object. that works, if you want to individually wrap each, or just put em all together. and raul, why wouldnt you use some cranks anymore? id gladly save you some space lol...

I use the tackle bag with boxes and arrange according to how the baits work in general. The top box gets the topwaters, meaning the plugs and poppers that work near or on the surface. The second box is generally the lures that work under the surface but not too very deep,including the suspending lures, and the third box is for the deeper baits, the sinking lures such as spinnerbaits, spoons, jigs, etc. The 4th box is my rigging box containing, hooks, sinkers, livebait rigs, etc.

I try to do the same pretty much with the soft plastics, concerning levels in the water column. The top container holds the topwaters, etc. etc.
