Location: Northern Wisconsin | I got this idea from the people at Musky Striker. They used a milk carton and platic downspout.
1. Cut the downspout any where from 10" or more, it depends if you use big baits or not.
2. Put as many sections of downspout as you can fit into the milk carton. They should fit pretty snug
and tight once you get about 20 in it.
It's easy to make, cheap, and holds a lot of baits(30-50). If i knew how to post pictures I would,
but i'm not good with compters or i just have a bad computer. I can email some though if you want
see what it looks like.

| I lined the bottom of mine. Baits that fall in get hooked in the holes. |

| I bought some clear plastic tubes from ULINE packaging and fit them in a square plastic bucket. It restricts what I can take but it sure beats hauling the over filled Plano around. Maybe that's a good thing because it makes me consider the realistic options for the day.
Here's a link to ULINE's page:

Those crate set ups look really nice too.

| I should add that those tubes come in various diameters and lengths. Also, the red caps are optional, not necessary for a tackle box but a great package for giving a homemade lure as a gift.
