A great option for hardbaits is using Megabass pouches and put hook bonnets on your baits. You can fit so much more than in a hard box. Then your home boxes can be hard boxes and all your baits can alsready have hook bonnets on the making subbing baits in and out super easy. These pouches make it so easy to move baits throughout seasons as the bites change and save tons of room.
Great video.I really like the Buzbe boxes but I find them to be heavy and all their individual compartments take up a lot of space in the box. Fine for terminal tackle but for hard baits I have been using one 1x4 to divided the 28s in half and then stuffing the two sides with hard baits. I use the owner treble protectors so nothing gets tangled up (does reduce the number of baits that will fit but I find it a good trade-off). I was able to get at least twice as many baits in the box without the compartments than I could with the compartments. I do keep the single tray in to help with rust prevention. I combined 5 of the SPRO half size boxes which are double sided that I used for jerk baits into 1 colony 28 and1 colony 15 thin. Saves a lot of space and is a more durable storage solution. I fish out of a boat with a ton of storage and am still always reorganizing to make it more efficient. For the A rig I like the tackle warehouse tube but I also use the Rig Rangler which you can use while the rig is still tied on and it keeps it from getting all tangled up.
Great video! I was concerned I might be carrying too much tackle around, but now I feel better 😉. I have 5 - 3700 boxes that fit in my Lews Mach Hatchpak backpack. A terminal box, top water box, crank bait box, jig/spinner bait box and a jerk/glide box.
If Bass fishing was prohibited, many companies would go bankrupt!! You guys are insane. Us beach fishermen bring like 10 maybe 15 lures to the beach and we have a lot more spieces to go after😂😂. Good vid.
I’m a creek fisherman if I bring 10 lures/baits I think I brought to much! 😂 I literally use a roxstars strikers 5 pack case to bring whatever I need that day
I’m working on a to-go UL kit for chasing blue lines. I started with a Kast King BlowBak sling pack, one 3600 terminal box for all jigs and small hard plastic baits - cranks, twitch, lipless, etc. I also got a Crappie Magic kit with plastics, removed the jigs to put in the terminal box and used the two partitions for floats. All of the Mule plastics are in original packaging, but with several of each color I bought in the small front pocket (stolen idea from a previous video of yours!). I still intend to get one of the Mule boxes for jigs and some pre-rigged plastics.
I am struggling with this right now. I have spent the last 3 days trying to whittle all the junk in my boat down to a reasonable level but have failed miserably. I have a 20' Champion so room is not an issue, I am just tired of hauling around what amounts to the weight of an extra person all the time. I can jump in someone elses boat with a small bag that weighs less than 10 pounds and 3 rods and fish all day and never feel like I am limited with what I brought with me. However if I go in my boat I end up with 150 pounds of tackle and 50 rods but still use the same 3 baits and 3 rods. I miss the days when I was 12 years old and 100% of the tackle I owned fit in one little 3700 box. LOL!
Bro, you have no clue how much stuff I bring on my float tube. I keep my hard baits and skirted baits in 4x 3700 boxes in a Gamakatsu G box 7000, all my terminal stuff in one of my zip pockets, my tools in the other pocket, a fish finder strapped to my pontoon, a Simms waterproof bag for my bags of plastics , a zip pouch for my clamshell plastics, my scale, leader spools and plug knocker in a 5 gal bucket behind my seat and a rod holder strapped to the other side of my tube that holds 12 rods. I think I need a kayak.
This past season I tried going with a lot less gear to try and avoid my newbie tendencies to change lures every 10sec. Bank bag has a Plano 3600 terminal and Buzzbe 3700 day box. Kayak has a 3700 terminal, 3700 Buzzbe generalday box and 3600 Buzzbe of baits I’m trying focus on
I have large tackle boxes then I have small boxes… the large ones store the bulk of my tackle and I use the small boxes for a day on the water. I can fit everything I need in my backpack. 3-4 crankbaits, 3-4 jerkbaits, a few swim jig heads and a couple packs of trailer’s, few underspin hooks, small box of terminal tackle for Tex rigs and a couple bags of plastics, few jigs, 2 glide baits and 2 large swimbaits… scissors and pliers plus a couple of lure knocker’s. Pretty simple and compact! That said, I used to bring an entire tackle shop and 6 rod’s!
I was thinking of doing a video on this, because I will be switching boxes on my backpack and preparing my waiding vest for spring. I just ordered the Kastking on the smaller size, for 15$ it's a steal!
I do take a lot when I take out my boat. But I do a lot of bank fishing so what I keep in my truck because it’s a hand full of box’s and a few bags of swim baits and plastics. That’s what I take in my yak. I have two of those kastking trays. Not bad for a cheaper version of the Plano trays. Does the same job 😂. Wish they would make some jig trays and a deeper tray. I’ll buy them!
I'm constantly trying to organize but still end up taking 50# of baits when I go fishing. Usually afraid that I'll leave that one bait that will work that day at home. So I take it all. But what you guys say makes a great deal of sense. Thank you for the video guys.
I always have that much with me, in the truck. My gear in the kayak is usually less, unless I'm fishing in a day long tourney and don't want to take the time to head back to shore.
I use ziplock back the freezer bags to store all my soft plastics Bag is super light and cheap and I like cheap. I have had the same bags for over a year now And I carry my crate and a rod everywhere I go so I’m always in it. I still use the milk crate also and cram 2 bags of plastic and 4 Plano boxes and a spinner and buzz bait box All in the milk crate
Y’all are wild. I’m over here using a 5 pack roxstars fly strikers case. one on my pole condense 4 into 2 slots a few rooster tails and a few prehooked baits thinking that’s to much to carry 😂 literally never use anything but inline spinners but, I always keep a few baits on me just in case I ever want to try them. I’ve always told myself if I need more than 10 lures/baits fishing I’m doing something wrong!😂
I found a knock off of the plano edge boxes in a 3600 size at the dollar store for $5/ea cad vs $35/ea cad for the plano ones. I'm using 2 for my terminal now
@@paulglass7268 what surprised me most was they actually have the metal bar through piano hinges vs the kastking all plastic hinges. I couldn't not buy a couple
I just got a bass pro super magnum tackle bag. It will hold everything including 2 3700 deep planos for musky lures, plus all soft plastics in the large reaction tackle lures bait binder. Also trying to separate lures into topwater box, mid level box and bottom baits.
Mark Daniels jr. Did a vid where he took all his gear to his local landscape store to throw it on their scale, added up to over 150 lbs of gear he has in his bass boat 😂
I was looking at buying the Buzbe colony 28s. I was reading the reviews and I found a lot of reviews stating that the bins fall out and other problems with the latches. Have you guy seen any of those problems over the time that you have been using the Buzbe boxes? I am currently pretty well invested in the Plano Edge boxes. The thing I don't like about them is what I also like about them. The one big latch.
I got a 200 dollar gift card to Dicks sporting goods for my birthday even after mentioning just a vid one would work so I could go anywhere. I wanted the Lews backpack and they had it. I was putting together a cart and fell asleep. I woke up 5am and it was sold out. Of course I could go on Amazon and get it tomorrow but it was on sale for a 129 at Dicks and it’s gone everywhere in this state there. So I have the gift card which would have worked better since my wife wouldn’t be thrilled with a 100 dollar fishing backpack you know
You guys did a great job covering kayak and boat fishing but you both missed bank fishing. Don't get me wrong I don't mind but these days once I hear or see a kayak or boat I just click off the video. But because it's you two I watched the whole thing and yes there is one thing I want to touch on. Efficiency: if you are make a general box that can work in almost every water possible then you just need to follow one rule for everything. 1 dark color and 1 bright color for all your cranks, jigs, etc. Also instead of using spinner baits you can combine a skirted jig with a jig spinner and it's the exact same as having a spinner bait at that point BUT less space is being taken up. I make my own jig buzzbaits that I can hook to a jig and it makes it into a buzz bait. I'm all about stay as light as possible especially once spring hits and I'm out from dawn to dusk. It needs to stay light to keep your back, neck and shoulders from being in pain. Now yes there are days when fish will be picky but what would you rather have walking around all day? 30 lbs of terminal or 5lbs? Kinda obvious. Sidenote: those mule box are the bomb. I use two for my day bag. 1 holds my eggs for texas rigging along with some drop shot hooks, worm weights, drop shot weights, jika weights AND under spinjigs. The foam in the back holds my fly fishing lures while the other one holds all my mule jigs and all my pre rigged mule jigs
@@aaanglers awesome sauce!! Also I'm working more on those jig buzzs baits so I can make then as small as mukai. So far the smallest blade I can get my hands on is 1/8 oz blades and if you want I could send yall the 1/8oz jig blades to try
I’ve said it before and it’s still true, the Lure or soft plastic you want to use is ALWAYS the one you didn’t bring lol great Video Guys.

Check my Instagram and watch the Minimalism Challenge stories. I got rid of probably 80% of my tackle in January. Maybe more.
Great job, I struggle with condensing myself. But I'm working on it.

I love my Buzbe tackle box, perfect for a bank angler. You can stock it easily with spinnerbaits. I'll be ordering another Buzbe box soon.
all my tackle fills up a 12x12 milk crate on my kayak and even then i hardly use any of it cuz i just use whatever i pre-rigged on my rods
This is the perfect video i needed this morning

I fight with this every off season I can't seem to leave anything out of my boat I would have to say my plastics take up the most room thanks guys
Great tips! I’m fishing from kick boats and float tubes. I always seem to bring too much 🙄. I have gotten better but still the same!

What are the best options for a budget that will benefit me like the buzbees?
Nothing does what a Buzbe does. However, your next best option is the standard Plano edge. Just find it on sale.
Is there room on your kayak for you? :) Im trying to get into using a single day box but that is tough
You can customize any plano with a dremel
Correction, you can customize ANYTHING with a dremel
Don't EVER down size and mix regular plastic baits with ZMAN baits. Oops!!!
1 box of tackle, 1 box of plastics....
