Dollar Tree has garment storage bags in large and XL. They are thick mil plastic bags. The large comes in a 2 or 3 pack/$1 and fits lot’s of plastics. In the boat:one for craws, one for worms, swimbaits, creatures, etc.
In the small boat I know the waters I will fish and have junebug/blk and blue plastics of various shapes. Works good and cheap!
You two do a great job with your videos. For those of us out here who see all these storage options on line, but really DO NOTTTTTT want to go through all the trial and error (which equates to nothing but hassle) these experience based tackle-storage option videos are great.
Thank you!!
I use the 6th Sense bag. Singular. When I fished the knuklhed I had one 3700, one 3600, and the 6th Sense bag with maybe 12-15 bags of plastic and a few other miscellany. That’s it.
Oh. I put the bag in the dreaded under seat area.
Those are some good options though. Thanks.
This abnormal mild winter has me jonesing to get back in the yak. I use freezer bags for plastics. Works pretty good & cheap. Another cheap option is those plastic accordion file folders for paperwork. Good for big glide/swimbaits too. Thanks for showing bags fitting in the kayak 👍
Best value I've found for plastics storage are the 5gal and 12gal Husky "professional" totes from home depot. They are water tight which a sturdy clear lid
I usually bring about 10 plastics with me. I really like that Plano bag. Gonna order one for this year and give it a try. Thanks guys!
Guys I would like to see you all do some Crappie fishing with BFS gear and the lures you can only take what you can fit in a small Buzzbe Cube
You guys are in love with those Buzbe cubes. While I like their hard cases, the cubes would drive me crazy with stuff falling out when you open it. Personally, I love the large zip top 6th sense bait bag and the Zman waterproof blockz.
If it works for you it’s a great option
Really liked your youtube clip about plastics storage. I found a really great solution. I bought those empty plastic pencil cases for $ .99 cents to $2.00 for deluxe ones at the end of the rush for school supplies in the fall. They work great when you put the binder clips on them or buy a cheap 3 ring soft binder. I also just bought a Amazon toilettery bag and stuffed them in it.

Hey on your soft plastic bags you should look at the buzbe hard deep box and take all the bins out but then could leave some 1x2 in it for hooks and weights and still get a good variety of baits In the box. And also the box will float lol
I use the 6th sense bags. They are very durable and fit in my crate just fine. I do like some of your options though. Thanks for sharing guys.
I went down this road with my 22 12.5 native slayer. Ran the KVD speed bags under the seat. After two seasons they fell apart because the slayer with no scrubber plugs is wet around your feet. The slayer comes with a plastic seat base. I modified that seat base ( cut the center out of it and plastic welded it back together,not for the faint of heart , ).This gave me room to run a harbor freight stackable tool box ,top portion 39 $ under the seat. Sturdy water tight clear top a lot of room. I know this may be out of reach for a lot of ppl but my point is that if you think out side the box you can get something that works. Which is what you guys did. Great video keep it coming
I use the Diawa D-Vec binder and it is awesome.
I was gonna get the bait lockerz but after watching this the bait bloxz looks plenty big for me!
You may have done this but garage storage like the rack behind you . Rod storage. Anything like that keep the work up boys
Good option!
I got the plano 3700 speedbag a while back, It's pretty much the same dimensions just a bit wider than the buzbe large deep. If I could go back I would go with the buzbe for the extra $7, I like where the handle on the buzbe is more and how it opens. The bigger plano works more as an extra tote for stowaways. It CAN hold a lot but it gets bothersome if you have some plastics at the bottom of the bag, you have to go digging down through it all.
I don’t kayak fish but the Plano soft crate side bags are great soft plastics storage bags when your a co angler ! Wish you could buy just those side bags ! 👍👍👍
The last bag I like the option to shoulder it.
Great episode - a fun thing to do here would be a catch and cook bracket series - can have species combined with methods to fill it out - another great series would be loading up a day box and rigs and switching at the ramp and fish for a day in the other persons setup and tackle. Could do a pre spawn switch a spawn switch a summer switch fall switch etc
love the ideas! Thanks!
A travel toiletries clear bag works good for soft plastic storage.
🤘🏼
SO FAR, I THINK my solution is one of those sidio half crates at home with most of my baits in it and the buzbee large cube in my kayak and magpul daka pouch in my bank fishing sling pack that only hold a few plastics for a quick outing. I like that you guys don’t just test out things marketed towards fishing, like that makeup bag. I’ll consider and use anything if it works better than something specifically marketed towards anglers.
I have the zman blockz bag and I really like it. I agree it’s a little spendy to store your plastics, but it works for me and was the type of bag I was looking for.
Spot on
Off topic here but if you want a great UL rod for only $65, the Bass Pro Shop’s Crappie Max Quick Tip is amazing. It has Fugi guides, a really nice reel seed, and the second half of the rod is made of carbon. This rod is easy as good as any $100-150 UL rods. I have used the Dobins Sierra Panfish elite ($160) and the Crappie Max Quick Tip feels almost as good if not just as good. And BPS gives you a reel with the rod. The reel isn’t great but the rod is amazing.
I prefer my soft plastics so i can look through them like a library as Paul said lol. I cant stand mine laying on top of each otger and having to dig though them. But i do fish out of a jon boat with wayyyy more room lol
Great video and perfect time for it to drop on my suggestion, I've been looking at that zman one and the $70 one I'm glad to know you can fit more than its suggested 40 or whatever it is. And I love the little sleeve on the inside that's a perfect place to put your jig heads. It's perfect and honestly for 50 bucks I think it's well worth it. And maybe take some of that camp dry spray before you take it out and use it and spray the outside if it's a fabric if you do two good coats and let it fully dry I'm pretty sure it would make it pretty resistant to anything, as in the fabric
I’m headed out now for a bit being this pa weather has been crazy warm I had everything outta my bag for winter I just throw a few plastics and my terminal box and it’s still heavy lol
Went ahead and bought the buzbee medium tackle bag… for my soft plastics in my pond hopping backpack.
Ive been with MSUFCU since college in the 90s wft is my tackle bag!!!
Not long enough 😂
Zman for me for sure great video guys 👍
Great video, thank you
I would like to see You two Muggs go trout fishing
Up north . A catch and cook camping kayak trip.
I'm in Michigan. I like the pine, and betsy.
We would love to!
Am at 1min in so final I don't know but you can use one zman bag per say and put a dozen different zman in it say 3 of each of 4 pattern or colors. Similar for all otter plastics. Loose one and replace for next outing
This may sound overly simple but i organize my plastics by techniques ie,ned,drop shot,curly tail ,floating worm,senkos. In ziplock freezer bags marked with sharpie. Then just in a small duffle type bag. The bag is cheap from bimart.
Rubbermaid Roughneck Square (Rectangle) Bucket, 14-Quart, Bisque, Sturdy Bucket ... add sheathed fillet knife, pliers, leader, small rag, etc..
The Zman bait blockz are 600 denier waterproof material with a rubberized bottom
A couple comments. I tried the KVD worm bags for a season. What I notice is that anything that is weather resistant keeps moisture in as well as it keeps moisture out. Once you have mositure penetration, it just stays there. The best hook organizer I ever had was going to the hardware store and purchasing 3in snap ring style key holders. I then placed all my off the shelf hook packages in size order. One group was numbers below 1-0 and the other was 1-0 and above. Simple and worked well.
Awesome and simple solution!
Large ziploc bags have worked for years but i do have the weird tote everyone else has lol. Nah but i have been looking for other ways. I do have a few zmann baits binders. Two are full of just senkos. Just bought a hole punch and bam! But be careful not to puncture the housing to the worms. Each senko bag has melted corners you can get a hole punch through. I can hold about 10 full senko bag in each maybe more. I like the plano and buzbe versions you showed. Like the little window too! They need to make a magnetic heavy duty worm bag that snaps closed with magnets but stays open well... Fish on!!!
Cabela's Bass Pro Shops Reel Tote - 14" x 4.5" x 10" clearance for $20
That z-man $50 bag is pretty damn nice though
I only use a couple different plastics mostly drop shot Senkos. I can literally keep my baits in my pants pockets and maybe I will have a small tackle box in my backpack. I usually ride my bike or walk everywhere
When I go on vacation I end up using about three baits because I know the lake I fish at
One year I took a huge bag with a bunch of stuff in it and ended up using a bunch of the same baits for an entire week.
I caught northern, musky, and largemouth and small mouth bass all on two rattletraps.
You guys may be way overthinking this. Get an inexpensive Bass Pro Shop nylon canvas binder with a Velcro closure and handle 10”x7”x3-4”thick comes with 10 zip lock pages holds 20 packs back to back. You can open it up and view all your baits in 30 seconds or less. You can have one for each type of bait. You can also use first page for hooks and weights that match the type of bait you are using all in a small bag you can stuff anywhere.
I just never really liked binders
Prefer the Z-Man over that Buzbe for the searchability. Getting those plastics vertical is big. I'd add some kind of handle on the end.
Throughout this downsizing series, I love Paul’s spouse like look of disgust whenever Jeff talks about trying to reduce the amount of gear he’s loading onto his yak.
😂
I picture Paul knowingly imagining jeff putting extendable side compartments on the yak to add more gear 🤣
@@pdfahie 🫠
i found 2 gallon zip locks they work and price is right
2 Ziploc bags, pick your size, toss various plastics in bad, soak it with bait juice / attractant to keep the plastics from melting or sticking together & zip up, then place zipper side down, into 2nd ziploc. Make sure to remove as much air as possible from each bag, toss in pocket of pouch. Best part is various sizes.
I used to bank fish a lot so I would keep all the gear in my car. Had a bunch of soft plastics in a Plano box...after one 90°+ week I opened up my bag and every section of the Plano was just a different color solid piece of plastic. I keep them in their bags in a sling now that goes in my kayak which I store in the garage.
So those KVD long skinny bags (from other vid poo pooing on 'Em) .... Those you can easily stand up zman, top zippers.
Edit just got to the Plano speed bag so yeah... That doesn't look as big though and can bring several with paint marker labels on outside
YUUP WAS ON {SORRY caps}! lol
Berkley has a pretty cool bait bag.
I definitely need more tackle lol wish I had to much I’m getting it up tho .
awesome videos
I'll buy your Sidio lol. I need more organized truck storage to bring with me to the lake.
I would love a similar comparison with some of these under the seat of the 106 pdl. I just picked up a 120pdl and I think the under seat portion is the same. I am thinking I can fit the z-man under there. The pdl drive doesn't seam to sit as high as the center console on the paddle version. I will also have 1" risers so that will help.
Great video as always! I'm in the market of buying a soft plastic organizer and I'm wondering what the name and brand of the purple bin is. I would like to buy one. Thank you!
Sidio crate
So far I have managed not to buy any rods, reels or tackle since before Black Friday. It is my goal not to buy anything new for as long as possible.. Going with reaction tackle deluxe bait binder for all my soft plastics. I tried the reel holders for soft plastics but it was too flimsy. I’ve tried all of the regular bait holders, as well as numerous dewalt canvas bags.
Same with me. I have enough stuff to last me the rest of my life. I go to fishing shows to watch the shows not buy stuff.
I have my neighbor a bunch of stuff last year to get him started. He mostly fished for stripers where he came from now he fishes for pike.
@@madtownangler no way I would be disciplined enough to go to an actual show and not buy gear. Hard enough watching these videos and not falling off the wagon 😝
@@pdfahie I usually buy one musky lure from a friend of my nephew who guides for musky near where my parents live and one year I bought a collapsible musky rod from another semi-local guy. Otherwise I go to the shows and then walk across Lake Monona on the way back. Not this year the ice isn't thick enough for me
Plus our fishing show kinda sucks anyways most of the guys that I know just sell stuff off the internet and don't even bother going to a show unless it's just a musky show and people come from all the surrounding states for those. I would have to go to Wausau, WI for one of those
@@madtownangler I would head to the musky maxx in Pittsburgh but it’s a 6 hour drive. A little too far to grab one or two musky lures 🤣
😂 the six cents bag turned into A rig tube😂😂😂😂
I’m laughing because I have done that
My bad dawg
@@paulglass7268were you trying to put up their bag that has the double zipper on top?
Off-topic: Where can I find plans for the wooden storage unit your kayak is resting on. Need a work station/ storage spot other than the saw horses I use (too unstable to work on). Thx. I enjoy your work.
We have several videos on the channel. If you go back on our kayak playlist or DIYs
I head to the salvation army store and buy a used backpack for 5 bucks. When it wears out buy another. I have had the one I am using now for years
I feel like yall missed on the 6th sense large bait bag it’s 9”x8”x 5” tall it’s perfect for soft plastic storage and it’s only $15
We called it out
Lakewood billfold is a good solution.
Liked this video! I've been buying waterproof tackle storage stuff recently so this was cool to see.
I leave most of my tackle home these days, and fill a waterproof Flambeau WP5005 or two with the hard baits I'm using for the day, grab a couple bags out of my worm binders for plastics, they hold 4-6 pks. ea. depending how fat/full they are, if there's clam shells I'll put them in separate w.p.-bag.
I like that z-man bag, but if it's not 100% waterproof forget it, why would they just make the bottom of it waterproof?...FishOn...Jim
I think someone mentioned in the comments that it is a waterproofish material. Should hold up.
@@aaanglers you guys Crack me up! I have the same issues with my tackle! I do like that purple crate you have, but definitely not worth bringing all that on the kayak every time you go fishing. I have learned the hard way if it's not 100% waterproof leave it home.. .FishOn....Jim
Was hoping to see the binders. They seem same and super easy to find you baits. They have single and double binders. What do you think about the binders. I have been looking at them. I carry mine today in a Tupperware. Cheap, holds 30 to 35, waterproof and easy to find the baits. Downside hard to get in spaces and no handles. Kastking makes the boss bait binder. Looks nice but expensive.
We have used binders in the past. Not a fan. They are good for about 20 bags. After that they get over stuffed and the binder rings break. Doesn’t seem to matter which brand yoh use either
@@aaanglers Thanks. Yea I wondered about them breaking.
Honestly just store my soft plastics in a Plano edge 3700 to match my kit. It's water tight and they're all separated so I haven't run into a drying out or bait mixing issue.
Ziplock bag works too 😂
What are yalls options on the kastking bait boss binder? I'm just getting started in kayak fishing, and don't have much tackle, but it looks to be a reasonable option.
Everything is reasonable if it works in your situation. Try it out, see how it works for you
👍🏼
was the pink bag tall enough to hold bags vertically with the dividers in? was kind of curious about it because the medium size on amazon is 13x9x4.5 but i'm not sure 4.5 inches is tall enough to hold bags standing up.
Not quite
Kvd worm bag is the best ive found there made for 40 bags
I take what I will use for the day and then replenish as needed. 3 or 4 of the ones I think will work, because i'm a ADHD maniac that even when some lure is working I change colors/lures.
That Zman tote looks nice, but it looks like it would struggle with longer bags, especially big worm bags
It is designed for standard size bags, so not ideal for big worms
I always us3 plwstic waterproof amo can boxes
Questions what's the best way to carry plastics in a book bag I use a 6th sence stand up bag
That’s a good option, so is the Buzbe based on size and rigidity
@paulglass7268 ok thanks I've been thinking about getting the buzbe
@@jchap7139 we highly recommend them
Do you guys know where to get the Buzbe cubes? Everyone seems to be out of stock
They’ll be back soon but Buzbe is typically the best place
Hopefully Buzbe will restock soon
What is the purple box called?
Sidio Crate
What about the Reaction Tackle bag?
the binder?
@@aaanglers yes but I looked into it. I like to keep everything in it’s original packaging.
Real Ammo cans work best!
The longer Plano bait bag is better. Same height just longer. It would look like 2 of yours together.
Most places don’t sell it anymore… at least that we saw
I live a town over from the Plano Manufacturing plant. They have an outlet store. If they still have some I will grab you guys some.
I'll take you up on that!@@limpingfisherman1509
I stopped at the Plano outlet store today. They did not have the Xtra long bait bags. Sorry guys. I was able to pick up 2 Abu Garcia Roxani bait cast combos for 30.00 each. A large 3700 Tackle bag for 15.00. Also a Berkeley Highjacker top water bait.
What about bait binders?
Great option too for certain plastics. We have used a bunch and just haven’t stuck with them
How many fit in the buzbe cube?
Around 30 but after that it gets hard to find stuff or it pops out
Was this the medium or large (and deep or reg) of you have the deep of this could you see how many fit in that one? (Ive been working on my soft plastics storage overhaul)
@@PrinceSalah04901 large deep, easily 30
@paulglass7268 mind replying to my other comment? Yall are great!
@@PrinceSalah04901 large deep fits at least 30. After that it's hard to find stuff or they start falling out
Bass guys make everything so difficult something big something small something dark something light and if you wanna go a step further something in between lol
I carry a damn duffel bag full of soft plastics on my kayak like a maniac. But hey I don't have to worry about leaving plastics at home going man wish I had that plastic right now
Z man wins again
You can sew a handle on the Zman bag……
I mean, you can do a lot of things lol. This is just a first look off the shelf. That said, we can definitely add that handle
What I miss the most with keeping elaztech plastics (incl rigged ones) "hidden away" in their bags is that I can't just open up a box lid, say "OOooooooh" and get a nice "candy shop" overview of all the options I have, like I can with hardbaits. An not just during fishing but even in the middle of the offseason months away from open water I like to just open up a box of all kinds of rigged plastics and daydream I'm sitting in my yak wondering what to tie on...
With Buzbe boxes you can. Just set aside trays for zman only
Home Depot Husky 12" Zipper Tool Bag for the win. Who cares about waterproof bags, if your soft plastics are already in zip bags? Buzbee are Lamborghinis of storage = overpriced. Great video, but I think you missed some other opportunities. Does it have a zipper, is it quality/HD fabric, is it collapsible? $15 for the win. Padding for soft baits? Have used them for years. $50+ for a bag? No thanks.
Noooo, not msufcu!
Dont you love "upgrading" something then actually just losing something useful? Subtraction by addition?
40 minutes of being annoyed by watching someone holler and scream about bags!
And yet you watched it
I was paralasyzed watching this ❤
Hey on your soft plastic bags you should look at the buzbe hard deep box and take all the bins out but then could leave some 1x2 in it for hooks and weights and still get a good variety of baits In the box. And also the box will float lol
Good call
