How many tackle boxes do you have? 2025


fishing user avatarBASSclary reply : 

First off, Mods, im sorry if this is the wrong section, but this is where I guessed it should go.

Now as for my question, how many tackle boxes/bags do you own? I ask because I recently just filled up my Stalker bag to the brim (It barely zips!) and while they're on sale now, I have just enough to pick up another Stalker bag (Man, I LOVE [ch9829] these bags!).

I dont have enough for a rod or reel, so i'll be spending my last amount of money on tackle/tackle bag. My logic in getting another bag though is, im going to buy the house before I buy the furniture. Being why buy tackle if you have nowhere to store it? So i'll buy another Stalker bag, and slowly fill that one up with tackle because I dont have any more room in my current one.

And the Stalkers are a steal right now at $32!

I highly recommend you pick one up too!

But how many bags do you have, and do you think my logic in getting another bag is good logic?


fishing user avatarRed reply : 

I only have one, but it is packed, especially now after Christmas.  I am considering getting one of those worm bag to hold all my soft plastics, that will free up a bunch of space for more boxes with hard baits.


fishing user avatarkLuo reply : 

just checked the BPS website and they are sold out online ;)

I wish I had known about this earlier, I would have for sure bought one.


fishing user avatarBASSclary reply : 

Ya, I have a GIGANTIC plastics binder from BPS thats almost full, but all my trays in my bag are filled with jigs, spinnerbaits, and cranks etc

And I picked my bag up in-store. They usually still have them their even when sold out on-line 8-)


fishing user avatarGreen Hornet reply : 

Just one.  It's in my garage and does about 65 knots. ;D


fishing user avatarGrundleLove reply : 

I have just my 1 tackle backpack. Best purchase ive ever made.


fishing user avatarguitarkid reply : 

I have two backpacks.

1. An old Standard issue USMC ALICE pack (holds about 5-6 3700s)

2. Jansport backpack that I have filled with the "loaner" tackle.

fishing user avatar0119 reply : 

Too much tackle for a box or a bag. It all resides in an old entertainment center. How do you guys like using a backpack to carry your stuff? Anybody use one made for fishing tackle like the one they sell at ***?

I have the XPS Stalker, which is like a modified backpack, but not a true one like the TW one. I love mine :-*

If you shore fish, I think a tackle bag you can wear on your back is a must, especially if you move spots alot. You barely even feel its there, and is nice while riding bikes.


fishing user avatarSeanW reply : 

I have one tackle bag that holds 9 plano's. I rarely use it unless Im back seating for a day. I have about 60 plano boxes on shelves in my garage. In addition I have another 5 cabinet size units with 30 drawers full of tackle, and another 120 pegs on pegboard around the garage. 

   My opinion is if you can only carry one bag with gear why get another bag. I use a day pak, book bag when walking the bank.


fishing user avatarcbfishalot reply : 

Way to many!!!


fishing user avatarSoFlaBassAddict reply : 

Far, far too many.

Stupid monkey.......

x2

i havent even attempted to count my boxs or bags lol lets just say i ran out of room in my normal storage room at my camp so i had to convert one of the bedrooms and turn it into a second tackle room.. i keep rubbermaid and ULINE in business lol


fishing user avatarDaveSurfs reply : 

I keep 1 for salt water and 1 for fresh water. I also have a USMC Medic's Bag that I'll load up with things I need to have in easy reach for a specific day on the water.

Having more is fun, but I end up forgetting what's in there... ;)


fishing user avatarSirSnookalot reply : 

I like my systems.

1 Browning bag for saltwater trolling and drift fishing,  1st bag with zippers that don't deteriorate.

Fanny pack with 5 plastic lure boxes for saltwater inshore, each box hold 2-4 spoons, jerkbaits, top baits and jigs, 20-40 back lures in my car

Freshwater, use old xrap boxes with 2 or 3 lures per box, carrying in my pocket, I don't take much with me.


fishing user avatarbigfruits reply : 

i have one bag with many planos in it. i dont bring all of my lures with me. most stay home in plastic drawers or hang on a pegboard.

my other box is for salt water fishing...


fishing user avataronion man reply : 

I have the discontinued Falcon FTO V6 tackle bag. You cannot find it anymore, but it works better than any other bag I have used before. It stores all of my crankbait boxes and terminal tackle great.

I also have two of the FTO worm speedbags that work great for all of my plastics ;D


fishing user avatarlsufan334 reply : 

I have one bag but its huge.  I got the XL boat bag and have 7 falcon boxes and I keep all my plastics in original packages inside of big ziploc bags sorted by creature, lizard, trailers,etc.  I am usually a non boater and this suits me just right.  Big enough to have what i need.


fishing user avatarSenkoman12 reply : 

i got my main grab and go bag which holds most of my tackle, then i have my boat bag which is like an overflow if im fishing on a boat or tournament. i have other organizers and i just put in and take out what i need. i am going to get a cheap medium sized duffle if i need to take a lot of tackle


fishing user avatarRedlinerobert reply : 

Just one.  It also floats.

fishing user avatarStasher1 reply : 

Personally, I'd pick up a few Plano boxes and remove some of the lures you don't use very often from your primary tackle box.


fishing user avatardulouz reply : 

I have a Cabela's series bat that holds 3 3600 boxes (i only have two) and 8 3700 boxes (i only have 6).  I leave extra room for any extra stuff i need to go fishing for the whole day.  It is heavy so it usually stays in the bed of my truck when I fish.  This is my main bass bag. 

I recently put together a smaller bag that I use when I fish the river.  It is mostly cheaper baits that I don't mind loosing to snag or a pike.  I also use this bag when I have to walk to get to my fishin spot.   


fishing user avatarRaul reply : 

4 Bags ( various sizes )

Numerous 3600 and 3700 boxes

4 Tackle boxes ( various sizes )

A big bunch of shoe box size plastic containers stuffed with fishing stuff ( mostly soft plastics )

beat me to it.


fishing user avatargeoffs reply : 

I have one BassPro Super Magnum as a boat bag and my main storage.  If I'm going out with someone else or shore fishing I offload a few boxes into a smaller bag.

I have 15 bags in all, each set-up to a specific lake/technique, and species...Buy what you need.........

Tight Lines!!!   


fishing user avatarThe one that got away reply : 

I have the BPS Stalker bag with six 3700 style boxes and two 3600 size boxes on either end. That fits more than I need.

If I can't find something in there that will catch a fish, that would mean I suck at fishing and should take up golf or do something else. So, no I don't see the need for more than one bag unless you have one for saltwater, one for pike/muskie, etc.


fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

20-25 3700 size boxes, some deep, some shallow.

20-25 3600 size boxes, again some deep, some shallow

various FTO bags and wallets

a few Falcon terminal boxes, in big and small

four or five tackle bags in various sizes, and a milk crate for the kayaks


fishing user avatarMonarkMcfaster reply : 

I have 3. I keep all my confidence baits in one and it stays in the boat, I will resupply as needed.

The 2nd I keep all my soft plastics in and it mainly stays in the boats as well.

The 3rd I keep new lures and such in it...I will take it out and go through and pack what all I think I may need or something that might be productive for the water/conditions I will be fishing in.


fishing user avatarNateFollmer reply : 

3

My bag for shore fishing/wading

My Plano box (that Guide Series one that sit's up and has the drawers) for the boat (the bag comes on the boat too)

My junker tackle box that sits in the basement with the 'overflow' baits.

If you count my fly boxes... Make that 8 HAHA


fishing user avatarQuillback reply : 

Wow, I was worried because I have about 30 3700 boxes.  I thought I might end up being featured on one of those "Hoarder" reality shows.  But I'm glad to see that some of you guys have a lot more stuff than I do.

Then there's all the spools of line, rods, reels, and miscellaneous stuff.

And the boat..

And the truck to tow the boat..


fishing user avatarScorcher214 reply : 

I got the Stalker tackle backpack from BPS. It holds 8 3600s. Then i have like 4 extra 3600s. I also have a really big tackle bag from BPS, i dont use it cuz i shore fish a lot and it's a pain to carry it.
