How much crap is in your tacklebag ?

Quiete a bit of what I use a lot, good bit of what I try and some I plan on trying. Guess it's like women with shoes, only a LOT cheaper.

Crap is probly the only thing that ain't in mine.

My tackle bag is easily 60lbs and I have another 10lbs atleast of soft plastics in a cardboard box. I use pretty much the same thing baits every time and don't really try the new stuff I say I will when I buy it.

I have a problem.

I have a small duffle bag with 5 one gallon ziploc bags labeled

Worms
Swimbaits/flukes
Craws
Lizards
Creature


If they are full, I don't buy new bait. It helps limit how much crap I have.

I also have 2 Plano 3700 boxes for terminal tackle (one is dedicated to pan fish). 1 Plano 3700 box for crankbaits, which isn't even full because I rarely use cranks. 1 Plano 3700 box for jigs. And a spinnerbait box that holds 22, and it's only about half full.

Just reorganized and consolidated and I've condensed everything into the following:

Bass:
3700 utility box - bass terminal tackle
3700 utility box - Lipless crainkbaits and top-water hard baits
3700 utility box - Shallow diving crankbaits, jerk baits and hollow body frogs
3700 utility box - Medium and deep-diving crankbaits
3700 utility box - 26 spinnerbaits and 13 buzzbaits
3600 utility box - jigs and bladed swim jigs (chatterbaits)

All in one backpack:
2.5 gallon "Worms" ziploc containing:
- 1 gallon finesse/trick/shaky-head bag
- 1 gallon senko & cut-r bag
- 1 gallon curly-tail worm bag

2.5 gallon "Flukes, Frogs & Trailers" hefty containing:
- 1 gallon fluke (regular and swimming) bag
- 1 gallon soft-plastic frogs bag
- 1 gallon spinnerbait and jig trailer bag

2.5 gallon "Creatures & Crawfish" hefty containing:
- 1 gallon Zoom hogs bag
- 1 gallon beaver/otter bag
- 1 gallon crawfish & tubes bag
- 1 gallon lizards bag

Panfish:
In a small soft-side tackle bag:
3500 utility box - panfish terminal tackle (jigheads, cricket hooks, corks, spinners, splitshot, etc...)
1 gallon tube jigs, tiny flukes, minnows bag
1 gallon beetle spins and road-runners bag

Saltwater:
3700 utility box - hard baits (top dogs, wake baits, etc...)
3700 utility box - Spoons, hair jigs, jig heads
2.5 gallon "Saltwater Plastics" hefty containing:
- 1 gallon cocahoe minnow bag
- 1 gallon sparkle beetle bag
- 1 gallon gulp bag
- 1 gallon redfish magic/spot remover/rigged plastics bag

Catfish/Saltwater Terminal Tackle
3600 utility box - egg sinkers, kahle hooks, circle hooks, swivels, etc...

Now I know exactly where everything is and exactly what I have for every situation and it is all somewhat neatly packaged for transport and storage. No more digging through large pockets overfilled with soft-plastics or wal-mart bags full of sac-au-lait gear.

Rize has more fishing shite than anyone I know.

I have like 1 small tackle box and 4 rods. I don't have hardly anything.

However, my brother has anything and everything a freshwater fisherman in LA could ever need.

In his garage he has a rod holder that extends the entire length of his garage (a garage that can hold a 21' Skeeter). On top of this are 2 shelves that run the entire length of the garage. These 2 shelves are full of clear boxes, labeled and categorized.

That doesn't include all the shite that he just keeps in his boat.

I don't bring everything every time. I've got everything in two large Rubbermaid containers either in the bag they were bought in, or in a the flat tackle boxes. Pick what I plan to use that day. Learned that when I had my kayak.

Went bass fishing with a guy I know last year and his boat looked like the pic on the first page. He had 30 rods in just the left rod box (all with reel covers and rod sleeves.....very organized). Had to have over 5 grand worth of bait in his boat. Center hatch was full and so organized. Back hatches had milk crates full of baits still in packaging. He has more in his garage. He used to charter and I've honestly never seen someone who likes to fish as much as him. Including rods and reels, I would bet he had $20k worth of crap loaded on that boat. He's the kind of guy that replaces all of his reel handles with upgraded $125 handles, etc.. He spends money to get the best stuff he can find. Constantly selling off stuff to buy new stuff as well.
