What does your gear/tackle bag weigh??? 2024

Bassnajr reply :

Well, spring is almost here (I hope) the battle of RI vs. CT is shaping up nicely, and all use Northeners have had to much time on our hands, bait monkey wise. I can honestly say, that after my visit to BPS this past Friday, I have WAY more than what I need to start the season. As I hefted my near gear bag to my "fishing room" in the basement, (that's where my wife has banished me) I wondered, "Does everyone's bag weigh this much??" Now I know alot of you have boats with massive storage, but on average, what does you gear bag weigh? I'd like to see what everyone else weighs in at so I can determine how deranged I am!!! Mine......21 pounds even!

1,575 lbs.

That's the reason mine weighs so much. My boat has zero storage. :'(

NEBassMan reply :

37 lbs

dumb_dog11 reply :

exact numbers here:

9lbs 8ozs in soft plastics (not all of them either)

9lbs 3ozs for my tackle bag (this only includes about half of my lures though

Alpster reply :

Two Cabelas canvas 3700 box holders. I weighed them at 35 lbs. Of course this doesn't include backup stock.

Alpster...

Thanks for the photos... ;D too much!!!!! So at 21 lbs. (not including back up stock!!) it looks like I am in the ball park. I hope to have a boat with more storage soon. It stinks to have to lug you tackle from boat to boat!!

I guess now I can work on "satellite" bags, for when I'm heading out in the canoe or Bassraider!!!!

Branuss04 reply :

That's funny that this was brought up cause the other night I asked my girlfriend to take my tackle bags into the bedroom and she couldn't lift it, so i decided to weigh it. Main bag weighs 30#'s and then the swimbait bag/plastic's bag weights 11. Like everybody else, it doesn't include the backup tackle.

The_Natural reply :

Sean Connery said my bag weighed eleventy-billion pounds. If you have to ask, never mind

April and October i can get by with 1 "3700" size box along with 4 "wraps". The months inbetween, well, that is a different story. I do plan on limiting ;D what i carry in the boat this year....

Dean reply :

When mine is full, hopefully by the end of winter, it'll weigh somewhere around 50 pounds. Right now its a lilttle under half full and weighs 25lbs.

RockvilleMDAngler reply :

The bag I carried weighs around 40lbs. I got a new one for Xmas because the strap connector broke on the old one (it was not meant to hold 40lbs) that should be bigger. Like everyone else this does not come close to including backup tackle. I have a pegboard in my basement that holds 80lbs+ of soft plastics.

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

Just over a gram

Had to get rid of the bag

Popeye reply :

Too much. I need to downsize/consolidate all four boxes and large Okechobee bag into no more than 2. I'm working on that before our next outing!

senile1 reply :

The weight of a tackle bag is a moving target. It's like the guy who continues to gain weight until he weighs over a 1000 lbs. It never ends. I would venture a guess that Raul has some of the heaviest bags in the fishing kingdom.

fishfordollars reply :

I keep all of my tackle seperated as to depth and size in Plano type boxes. They number anywhere from 15-23 seperate boxes depending on the lake and the time of year. Plastics are kept in their original bags. Add it all together and I figure around 30-35lbs. They stay in specified compartments in my boat and seldom are they removed. If I had to guess my plastics probably weigh 15lbs + on their own. Heck I'm going to my boat now to weigh everything. Will let you know shortly.

fishfordollars reply :

Here are the weights on tournament scales:

22 Plano boxes with hard baits 17.53

All plastics 14.91

Terminal Tackle (Hooks, weights, etc) 1.81

Spinnerbaits and two boxes 1.43

Total 35.68

I did not count nets, bouys, rods, reels, life jackets etc.

FishTank reply :

I have been using a Jansport 2Day hiker backpack and a BPS Extreme soft plastic bag. If you weigh the two, it is about 40-50lbs all together.

SBM-RL reply :

My back pack was 37lb last year but now is more like 45-50lb my softplastic bag is 20lb and my 2nd soft plastic bag(all gycb) is about 5lb. my storage bags are about 10-15 each

F15HGuy reply :

Some days it weighs way to much and some days it seems I need just a few more things.

Ifish4keeps reply :

about 20 pounds :-/

I can see the local DEA agents kicking in your door after reading that post. ;D

Bassnajr reply :

I'm not sayin anything!!

Tpayneful reply :

I use an Extreme 370 bag and I have it pretty full. It weighs in at 23lbs. I have a few more 370 boxes that I swap in and out based on the day.

Big-O reply :

Which one? I have too many to count. Depends on time of year and length of tour. No way everything will fit in one bag if you have the variety necessary for all conditions. Sounded like an excuse for carrying too much gear didn't it.

I thought so too.

Bassnajr reply :

So in other word, despite what the wife says, I can buy more gear!!!!Great!!!!!!!
