Posts: 389 Location: Corning, Iowa | Don't take any stars away from me, but, how many tackle boxes do you take with you on a boat? We have so many, if we ever catch anything, there won't be any room to fight it. Doug | ||

Posts: 2089 | Doug, I started using Bibs Boxes last season and love 'em.I took one or 2 of the large boxes in the boat last season and only used a fraction of the baits.Better to have too much than too little.LOL.Needed a bigger boat to carry all the gear.Not really, I used to fill every compartment of my 620 with 3730's and have 2 monsters under the rear deck.Too funny.

| i've always been a big fan of lakewoods boxes, but i bought one from rob myers from shimano and it's cool! comparable to the smaller lakewoods box, but it has a mesh top/drained bottom, lightweight, individual dividers, and sturdy. dont' recall the cost, but it was a good deal. steve | |||

Posts: 793 Location: Ames, Iowa | I leave the big Flambeau boxes at home or in the Blazer. I got so tired of stepping over them and having them in our way during rougher conditions. Asking a kid to move every time I wanted a bait, then hving to look for it. I choose 15-20 muskie baits and place them in a 5 tube bait holder mounted on an ankle high seat pedestal on my bow casting deck. I take a multiuse box that holds 5 plastic flats- one for walleye cranks, one for jigs and plastic, one small one for rig material; one for muskie jigs and plastic and the fifth one has everything I need for replacement of muskie hooks, split rings, leaders, clevises, blades, etc. Room also in the box for xtra line, all my leaders, and repair items for rods, reels- compass, xtra flashlight, headlight, spare bulbs for all lights, camera, batteries, mosquito head nets. I take flats and other things out and replace them as I need to, but that box stays in the boat for evey trip. This works for me. Don | ||

Posts: 169 Location: Pewaukee, WI | (1) Dunwright Box for all bucktail/spinner Baits (2) Plano with clear vision inserts for Top Water/Gliders (1) Lakewood Monster for Big baits/Soft Plastics Several small Plano boxs that fit into storage compartments filled with Cranks and smaller baits. Not room in the boat for much else. Each winter I go through all the boxs and weed out the baits that didn't get used making room to BUY MORE BAITS! | ||

Posts: 2378 | I try to carry just one of the big Dunwright boxes for the majority of my baits. I then have various planos stashed away with jigs, eels, etc. I also have 2 magnum tackle binders stashed away that hold a BUNCH of spinnerbaits. for the Fall, I have a homemade custom box that I use for the BIG baits. that comes along with the rest Edited by BALDY 1/23/2006 10:26 AM | ||

Location: Contrarian Island | Tom you carry wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many lures in the boat! I try not to even carry a box and just put all the lures I need on my bait tubes or on the walls up front... like to try and keep the boat somewhat clean..so I have more room for rods! | ||

Posts: 1916 Location: Greenfield, WI | A few years ago I started monitoring how many boxes/baits were actually used during a day in the boat. With very few exceptions, no matter how many boxes were brought into the boat, only about a half dozen baits were actually thrown each day. | ||

Posts: 2 | I'm curious what exactly "bibs boxes, and capt. Harry's tackle tamers" are? What do they look like, where can I find them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. | ||
