Plastics Storage

lunker-lander · 03-02-08, 10:04 PM

Well, after buying two Falcon Speedbag Magnum Worm Bags, which hold about 20 bags of plastics each, I've run out of room. I need something not too large, 20x15" at the most, and will hold around 90 bags of plastics. I was thinking something like the Falcon V4 or V6 Speedbag. I wouldn't use the trays that you buy for them, just separate the plastics by category and put them in Zip-Loc's, then lay them in the Speedbag.

Any ideas?

P.S. -- I'm willing to trade or sell these Worm Bags for $20/both.

Thats what I use to do for a while. When I got overboard, I started buying the Plano boxes without the dividers and putting the bags in there. I use to carry them in a back pack now I have to put them in a 5' duffle bag

Haha... Good point, Justice!

I don't have that much room to spare though, it's only a 14' boat. I saw Zooker put some of his worms in trays which in turn went in tackle bags. I don't know what to do. I'm really confused!

A backpack, That's a great Idea. I'd never thought of doing that. Although I have enough room in my Plano 7771 tackle box to hold all my soft platics at the moment, I'm sure in the (near) future I will need more room.

I carry two worms in different sizes. Red Shad and Motor Oil. 7 1/2" and 11".
Couldn't stand the confusion of which color the bass wanted. Confidence is the key, at my age I've decided on which colors that I most often use.

That's smart, but what about different plastic slike craw, lizards, etc?

I got a duffle bag, but I think every idea I've heard of has problems. Either you have enough room, but there is no organization (throwing bags and bags into a dufflebag or backpack) or you have organization but not enough room (those little wallets).

Last night what I did was I took my best 15 or so bags of softplastics and put them in a purse like deal, then through all the rest in the dufflebag. So I got what I know I like to use easy at hand, and I have the rest..stuff that I might turn to if I'm getting skunked or bored, on boat. We'll see how that works.

Ole Tommy got himself a purse!

"Ole Tommy" We really got stop letting you come up with the nicknames LL.

Anyways, I still like the backpack idea. If you've got an old one with like 3 or 4 different pockets, you could separate the plastics into the different pocket. Like one pocket for worms, one for tubes, one for creature baits, etc.

Lunker take a look at the Tackle Binders that have 8-10 clear zip locks in them. You can buy the extra zip locks so you can change the "inventory" you take with you fairly easy. It lets you keep you baits in their original package, along with your favorite scent. I have gone to 4-5 of these I can take easily and number the bags so I can keep up with what is where. I carry mine in a smaller duffle, you can get lots of bags of plastics in 2-3 of these.

Shop around, usually can find some store branded bags at Academy. Here is a picture of one from BPS. I got a Shimano binder that the bags are large enough to handle bags of 10" lizards.

BigBassin144,
You may need a second box for your craws,senkos,lizards etc..
However mine has only my go to baits. I.e best colors that I've used.
Everything else that I buy and decide not to use goes into a bucket in my "tackle room"!
