Looking for a new tackle box

by DallanC » Wed Mar 20, 2013 5:40 pm

I'm looking for a tackle box, I'd prefer soft side but thats not required. We only have freshwater to fish so salt isnt a concern.

What I do need though is flat pockets to organize dodgers and flashers (I primarily use 4.5" though 6" blades). I've kicked around the idea of buying a CD music case to store my blades in, might still be an option.

I'd also like something to keep lures with leaders better organized... either something to string them across to avoid tangles, or keep them wound up in smaller pockets seperate pockets. Typically my lures are 2-3" with 12-14" of leader (I fish them close to the dodgers). Right now I wrap my lures around pieces of foam pipe insulation, and might continue to do so and just store those in the bottom of the box. Not sure yet.

I dislike plastic trays for lures as they get scuffed up more when rattling around than in something soft.

I know we have a few fisherman here and maybe someone has something similar they use to organize gear?

Unsure if these sites will help you for the size of your lures.

Lakewood we have a couple of these for our lures and love them:

We never get skunked...its the fish that get skunked they just keep missing our lures....

Woot! Stumbled upon a solution for my dodgers, very happy with the look of these. I like how it can fold up and be stored in another larger box. I want something that holds them snug like the pockets so that they dont rattle around and get scuffed up.
