Just wondering how you store your spinnerbaits. Pictures if you have them.
In a spinnerbait box of course! I just found some Plano boxes at Wal-Mart that hold 22 spinners for $2.99 each man!
Both of those look like they would work very well. I never knew there was a spinnerbait box, I've got to buy one.
the only bad thing about spinnerbait boxes is that they take up a ton of room.

True. The bag would be better to put in your tackle bag.
and....... boom goes the dynamite.

i used the box before I got a Cooks to go system for my boat. I must say after seeing Dan's bag today I am convinced that is the way to go if not fishing from a boat primarily.

Yeah those bags are great, I use them for my plastics, I did use them for spinnerbaits as well but still needed something better for buzzbaits, why I switched to the spinner / buzzbait combo box. Its about same thickness as most plano boxes.
I use the Falcon Spinner Bait box, holds 30 spinner baits and the Falcon Buzz Bait box holds 28 Buzz Baits. They are awesome.
Plus BPS has all their hard storage boxes 20% off right now.

I have an ole school hard spinner bait box made by Plano, it can hold over 100 spinner baits. I only keep a dozen spinner baits and a dozen buzz baits along with trailers, skirts, blades, split ring pliers, tiny flashlight, reading glasses ect.
I used to have an old style spinnerbait box. So old the plastic was falling apart and cracking due to rot. Got rid of it when I saw this tip on another forum.
It's a CD case.
That's a great idea. Nice.
Here's my choice! Love these boxes!

That's exactly what mine is like but bigger. I even thought about using a CD case but I couldn't find one around the house.
I use an old style box.
and the reference award goes to.............

;D ;D ;D
and cart....
the CD case is an amazing idea, thanx for sharing!
I use the Falcon FTO 701 Spinnerbait Organizer....checkout Tackle Warehouse site - (Sorry, I'm a newbie and would put in a link directly to it, but I'm not allowed to until I post 10 "Normal" messages) :'(
I keep all my spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and chatterbaits in a BPS binder.

This is what I'm using right now. I had a Falcon spinnerbait wallet thatwas nice and compact but it was too crowded and the skirts were always catching on each other.
I've literally tried just about every spinnerbait box, wallet, binder, whatever out there, and have settled on the FTO wallet. It works well with every type of spinnerbait, except the Secret Weapon Lures baits.
made a rack with some eye hooks and a peice of 1x2 on the underside of one of the hatchs in the boat.
Brian - it's hard to tell from the pic but, are those stored on the underside of a rod-box lid? If so, that's ingenious!
I have one of these with extra pages.

Yea, its on the side of the box lid that does not have carpet if that helps, the inside of the box. when you shut the lid they just dangle freely but dont fall off. I got some eye hooks that at home depot, and just opened them about 1/8" so you can get the wire of the spinnerbait in there.

Thx Brian! Now I have another 'project' that gets prioritized after my honey-do's. LOL.
It looks like a 3/8 x 2" firring strip. Did you use rivets to attach it?
I've often thought that there was wasted space under those lids and now you've solved a problem for me. Or created a new one! Either way - good idea!
i too use a cd wallet. i picked mine up for like 50 cents at a thrift store. holds about 40 baits. which is silly cuz noone really needs more than 10 or twelve. cant beleive i have that many.

You can also use a piece of aluminum track and drill holes through it. Add some d ring clips and store soft plastic bait packages. It is great to open you box and grab something real quick.
you have to go with falcon organizers they are the best. its all i use
I still use the Tacklelogic binders. I have one for Colorado blade spinnerbaits, and another for willow blade spinnerbaits. Each has extra envelopes installed so I may have somewhere around 65 spinnerbaits in those plus trailer hooks, spare skirts, and trailers. I carry some loose also in the boat too.

My method too......picked one up for 99 cents. Just realized my keyboard doesn't have a "cent" symbol.
i like the spinner-bait boxes by plano.kinda bulky but its better than boogerin up your buzz baits
I use a Flambeau 0550 "Big Mouth" for the spares that are out of the packages and a Plano 3503 for the ones I use on a regular basis. I find the Plano box to be the perfect size for the kayak. It fits perfectly behind my seat in an insulated lunch box.
I purchased many of the large spinnerbait plastic green boxes that were offerend many years ago buy now discontinued. The very first red plastic one had no storage on the top cover but the later green ones have the top cover flip up storage too. I also use these for my plastics storage too. Then my backup stock is in marked cardboard boxes on shelves.
I have found that using one of those plastic notecard cases, the ones that expand with inividual sections does the trick for me. I just put one spinnerbait in each pocket of the case. Keeps them organized and easily accessible.
I also like the CD case idea! I might have to upgrade to that!
But seriously the expandable notecard cases are money!
I use a cd case too...but love the eye hooks under the lid idea...if I ever get a boat.....Someday
ok...i recently got the falcon case... but cant for the life of me figure out how to hang the baits in that thing. i havent really looked it up online or anything... but i feel stupid that i cant figure it out.
help?
Plano and BPS spinner boxes in my garage. When just want to take a few I put them in a binder.

I use cheap little 4x6" photo albums.
They hold one spinnerbait per page, and it fits perfectly in my small tackle bag.
A cd case.
