Location: Tomahawk, WI | What is everyone using for lure storage these days? Big boxes? 3700's? Integrated storage?

Location: E. Tenn | 3700s for most everything... even rubber up to pounder size. Big hard baits go in the Plano Big Game box. Spinnerbaits go in a Lakewood spinnerbait box. |

Location: PA Angler | Pencil cases and other big craft containers. Also I buy big pieces of foam and hang them on it so they don’t tangle together. . |

| You'll save yourself a fortune if you buy a milk crate or two and fill it with down spout sections.. others have used a soft tackle box and filled it with them as well. Plenty of tutorials online about how to do it. |

| I just bought a 27 gallon tote and lid from walmart and drilled out holes on the brim to hang big baits in. Great for packing on trips and what not |

I tried the milk crate, down spout thing one time. A good concept but awkward and I want something fully enclosed. Not sure I have a bag or anything big enough to put the down spout pieces in. |

Do you make use of the open interior space? |

| A suggestion on here was to buy a large food delivery bag from amazon. I did so and then used down spout material to hold lures. Very deep , with carrying strap and double zipper. I put all my big rubber baits and oversized cranks in there. Worked well.
Bag is 23"W x 15" High x 14" Deep. I bought 3 years ago but price is still only $23. Waterproof liner. About $10 worth of down spout and small zip ties to hold them together. |

Great idea for a bag. |

| Again, it was an idea from a poster on here. And that cheap bag beats the milk crate all to heck. I used the down spout pieces from my milk crate to start filling the bag. |

As of now I just put extra plano 3700s in the center but there are all sorts of options for that space |

| Just encase. It wasn't just the storage, but also that I had a narrow back casting deck due to a smaller boat. I foot pedal from the back deck so I can track my contours on the console. Best 2 birds 1 stone ever. |
