<p>I have a plano box that is "bluegill/trout", one that is "Crappie", one that is "spinners/spoons", one that is "minnow crankbaits", one that is "topwater plugs", and one that is Catfish. I originally had a "Bass" plano box, but that got split into jigs/spinners and plugs several years ago. Early this spring, I bought a SECOND soft-side tackle bag, that came with four empty plano boxes and room for at least 3 more.

<p>I have a plano box that is "bluegill/trout", one that is "Crappie", one that is "spinners/spoons", one that is "minnow crankbaits", one that is "topwater plugs", and one that is Catfish. I originally had a "Bass" plano box, but that got split into jigs/spinners and plugs several years ago. Early this spring, I bought a SECOND soft-side tackle bag, that came with four empty plano boxes and room for at least 3 more. "Jigs/"spinners" got split into "spinners/spoons", with the Bass-sized jigs getting merged with my "Crappie" box; the "plugs" box got split into "minnow cranks" and "topwater plugs". I also had a "Striper" box and a "trolling" box. The Striper box is currently in storage, and might get converted over to "Pike/Muskie". The "trolling" box got converted over into a "Walleye" box. My "Crappie" box might get renamed; many of the jigs are better suited for Smallies and/or Walleyes. I might have to move some of those jigs over into the "Walleye" box, or start a second one :)</p>

<p>Like Ken and yours, I like mine the same: modular but specific to targeted species. If I happen to hit other species using what I have, BONUS! However, the modular tackles are focused on for that specific outing, and maybe enough to cover several people that happen to join me. However, specific lures and tackles that I value (because they costed way too much to be replaced), they are with me always, and will only be used by me. With that being said, it never went the way I wanted. My valued…</p>

However, specific lures and tackles that I value (because they costed way too much to be replaced), they are with me always, and will only be used by me. With that being said, it never went the way I wanted. My valued lures and tackles get raided all the time. However, once the lures/tackles have been returned, I stored them back to their storage positions, and back into my carrier bag they went. Nothing, aside from the bait and fish basket, remained on the floor, unless it's among the picnic gears. I lost way too much gears in the past leaving them along the shoreline. For the past decade, they have been been and will always be attached to me, by mean of my hiking backpack, or my cart with rod holders.</p> I hope to be moving soon and…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2016-08-01:2036984:Comment:6915302016-08-01T21:05:44.497ZMark Stinehttp://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/MarkAStine
