How Many Label Their Lure Boxes? 2024
5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :
I was watching the FLW series yesterday. Several of the anglers pulled out each of the plastic lure boxes they had and some used a sharpie to label each section. I have a Kevin Van Dam bag which holds about six Plano trays. Each tray I have 15 or 20 different sections. These smaller sections had been labeled with a sharpie on the top cover of each tray. Like 3/8 ounce weights, drop shot hooks, Senko worms, etc. Do most people do this or is this just personal preference? Thanks! Joe :-)
endless reply :
I don't label the boxes but sure wouldn't labeling my cranks so i can know and remember each one depth range.
5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :
Good point. I always have to look at the bill closely on the crank baits to see how far they look to dive. 
A-Jay reply :
I do ~ Duck tape and a fine point sharpy.

J Francho reply :
Sharpie for me too!
Teal reply :
I label everything! I never thought of duck tape. I have pack of the label stickers ( large and small). Use a sharpie!
MarkH024 reply :
I label all my boxes. Sharpie on the sides.
5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :
I've seen the sharpie on the sides too. Just something else to do so my wife can call me a nerd. :-)
Felix77 reply :
I label and then label some more. I use a sharpie and those label stickers.
It helps on the water when you are in a rush to retie.
5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :
That's true there! I may go ahead and update tonight with some labeling.
bassin is addicting reply :
before i got to really "know" all my crankbaits..... i used a fine point sharpie and put the depth # on each one on the back/tail section on the side or underneath
i still do that with some.

Dwight Hottle reply :
I label all by jerk bait boxes as good, better, best & most expensive. Then I but all the crap baits in the most expensive box, the mediocre baits in the best box , the average baits in the better box & my most prized baits in the good box. My buddies always pull out the the most expensive box & the best box to select what baits they want to use. That leaves the good box exclusively for me. Never hurts to have an advantage. 
5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :
Lol Dwight. :-)
retiredbosn reply :
My crankbait box has labels taped so I can read the labels. My crankbait boxes are split up as lipless, shallow, medium, deep and topwater
Quillback reply :
Yes I label lure containers and I label my reels (on a small sticker) so I can remember what size and type of line I have spooled.
MrSwimJig reply :
I label my boxes as well. I use a label maker and have also cut the labels off of bags and used tape to attach it to the box so I have the part number and other information included.
Maico1 reply :
I label my boxes by type of lure,name of lure and weight of lure........
LgMouthGambler reply :
Sharpie right on the box. If I need to relabel, just some rubbing alcohol on a rag, no sticky tape mess.

Dylcook91 reply :
I don't label anything...mainly because all the lures/baits are still in their original packaging and jammed into every pocket I have hahahaha. I do a lot of shore fishing and hate lugging around tackle boxes so in turn I become a walking tackle box I guess.
SudburyBasser reply :
I put a small label inside each compartment in my crankbait box with depth info ... early in the morning I'm not looking to do too much thinking. Most 3700s are also labeled for that same reason.
SirSnookalot reply :
No labels and no tackle bag, I know just by looking what I have. I do use a fanny pack for my inshore fishing with 6 plastic lure boxes, spoons, bucktails, hard jerks, gotchas, top water and storm wildeyed, I know what each weighs and how they react because I use them every day. Have a pretty good memory on what lines I have on each reel, extra spools too. I can't tell you what I watched on TV last night, but have a memory like a steel trap for details.
Bankbeater reply :
I label the boxes, but I don't label the individual compartments. If I did that I would be relabeling 4 or 5 times a year.
Fishes in trees reply :
I've found that white duct tape sticks better than any of the sticky labels you get at Walmart. I try to label everything, but sometimes I am unsuccessful and things don't get labeled. When you are playing in the shop and enjoying an adult beverage or 3 sometimes stuff gets forgotten.

This is what I do. Also makes the boxes more flexible.
Flywatersmallie reply :
I label the boxes... If I didnt I would never find anything. 100+ 3700 boxes of hard baits and a dozen 10 gallon rubbermaid totes in the man cave. That modular shelfing is awesome for tackle organization!

Good lord, next time I start hearing any greef I am going to redirec to this post
Flywatersmallie reply :
Sure but I'm also a guide and have sponsors that either send or pay for all or part of my tackle. Last year I went through 4000 tubes, give or take in 200 days on the water. The wife doesn't give me much grief anymore since I started bringing a little money home.On 1/9/2013 at 11:28 PM, jhoffman said:Good lord, next time I start hearing any greef I am going to redirec to this post

I've heard it said that labeling them can have a detrimental effect on their self-esteem.

LgMouthGambler reply :
As long as you label them all, its equal oppertunity!On 1/10/2013 at 12:23 AM, Ratherbfishing said:I've heard it said that labeling them can have a detrimental effect on their self-esteem.
