Just wondered what you blokes use for storing your lures, plastics etc. in while fishing. I've been using a Plano bum bag thing. But find it gets in the way with my pfd. Guess I take to much stuff with me anyway. Used to having everything in the tinnie.
Thanks JD

I use 3 Plano (guide series) tackle boxes. Roughly 26 cm X 18 cm X 4 cm.

Waterproof as well. I use 1 for hard bodies, one for jig heads, and one for terminal tackle such as sinkers, braid pliers,hooks etc. Got them from K Mart for about $9 each, and they are an easy fit into my hatch.

Use soft carry cases for all my SP's.

I use the small tackle box that came with my prowler for my favourite hard body lures and jig heads and anything else i think i will use and than i've got my soft plastics and everything else sitting behind my seat nice and snug in a cheapo tackle box.

Here is an old thread of mine about my first crate. You can see the tackle pack i use there.
It works a treat

JD I've gradually pruned my gear to the following

A plastic basket from Bunnings $5 [as supermarket type and smaller than crate] to hold following
Plastic toolbox from Bunnings $3.50, 34cms x 17cms, it has all SPs and heads, leader, pliers, scissors, sinkers and hooks, knife, tape measure and permits etc.
And finally [either a fresh, or saltwater] Plano plastic tackle box 27cms x 18cms for about 15 HBs, about $10 each
The basket holding the toolbox and one of the tackle boxes, and a sugar bag is all I know take except for rods and anchor

I use a small utility box about 10cm x 10cm and double sided, a steal at only $2!!! I store hooks, jig heads, swivels and sinkers in it. Al my rigs are pre-tied before the trip and tied around pieces of spongy polystyrene material. I normally take out 2-3 paternoster type of rigs and a couple of whitng rigs when fishing with bait. I'm not a fan of tieing rigs in the yak especially when the fishing are bitting and going mad. A quick change of rig and yor in business again. My lures I keep in a small transparent plastic pencil case. All the gear i take along fits in my centre hatch most days.

Milt,

Thanks for the replies,
All good ideas, I think I'll have to refine my gear

I only fish saltwater right now so like the other guys Plano waterproof tackle boxies all the way.
And at the end of my trip i wash all the lures ive used in hot water leave to dry in the sun and the spray with veg oil to stop the hooks rusting.
I got that idea for the guys on here to :wink:
