Show off your tacklebox

[tonka]

Not to get off topic but I always though you had to keep soft plastic baits on their bags or else they loose their scent. Is that true?

[johnl]

mike the bass fisher you should add a jitterbug to your topwater lures,if you don't have one.

I read it was fine as long as they are in close contact with the others

Meh, I keep them all together in that double sided Plano. Will most likely get another but I only plan on adding some more chunk trailers for this season really. I would like to remove 65% of those different tube colors. If you want them buy them off me haha but seriously you dont need too much...green, brown, and something chartreuse...craw,worm,tube,and chunks...but thats just me.

 

About the jitter bug, never fished one to be honest but a few friends swearer by them...im the same with a skitter pop, i catch so many fish with it...its mastering the lure that makes it special on every cast haha

[GBW]

Wow GBW those are some Clean Trays! Everything looks brand new.

Those pic's were March last year so not so clean now...

Also, that is my storage case and I have 2 other soft side bags I use that hold 2 or 3 trays each that I rotate all my lures do to what I'm fishing for that day.

If I were to get up off my butt and take a pic now of my travel cases you would LOL at the mess. But I know where it all is...

[robertag]

Okay, here's mine. I've added a few more in the last few weeks while anticipating my trip to the French River Victoria day weekend... can't wait!

[GBW]

I swear by the plano type case as long as it's not a "wet bait". Never had a problem at all in years.

 

Mike, the jiter bug is a DAMN good top water night bait and also works well in the AM. Dark for night and lighter in the day.

some nice lures there for sure

[rbaquial]

Oh man, this outta be fun!

[robertag]

Mailman just dropped off two new friends:

Wonder if they had used circle hooks would be better or worse due to the epoxy head?

Anyhow they sure look sweet.

 

 

 

Beauties!

You mean these 2 little guys? They are made by H2o xpress exclusively for Academy sports store in USA but you can find them on ebay for around $10 + a few more dollars for shipping. I got them a few months ago. I have not tried them yet but I think they would be killers for bass. I hope they don't get attacked by pike though because that would damage the nice finish.

 

 

 

 

 

For pike and musky I purchased heavier duty jerk/ swimbait lures (and inline spinner with trebles) with much bigger trebles and split rings. These have about 4/0 5/0 trebles and range in size 4.5" to 7". Also noticed some of them are coated extra thickly with epoxy but eventually all lures will succumb to the savagery of pike and muskie teeth.

nice! now you have really made me jealous haha now i gotta see if i can convince sum1 to buy these for me

[Banger68]

MikeTheBassFisher, Those salted baits made a mess out of my last box. Those holding up OK?

[MCTFisher9120]

Ya the baits hold up fine...I dont plan on using that case for anything other than plastics anyway so it can stay salty lol.

 

Alex, I got the orange/brown because it resembles crawfish best...if I get into thicker cover fishing ill fish black/blue as less light is in and this is when these colors will work best.

 

Dont frget time fishin those green craws too lots this summer

[ciceri]

nice! now you have really made me jealous haha now i gotta see if i can convince sum1 to buy these for me

But maaaaaammm, they work really good!

Over the winter I got a new tackle box so I transferred every thing over.

Prob wont be as clean after a few trips...lol

[mepps]

Wow - GBW, you boxes sure make mine look dirty!

 

Usually I just have one box with me full of lures for specific fish I'll be targeting, mostly I just carry the spinnerbait box

 

Heres some of my stuff, no including muskie lures (a collection I've recently expanded!!), soft plastics and the lures I make...
