I'm looking for some opinions for the best one for the money. Really not looking to spend over 100 bucks, but would like a bag that keeps everything dry, has plenty of room for jigs and plenty of terminal tackle .
WFO makes high quality stuff. I ordered the small reel bag and i believe it is the best on the market. I plan on buying other tackle storage items from them.
I'm looking for some opinions for the best one for the money. Really not looking to spend over 100 bucks, but would like a bag that keeps everything dry, has plenty of room for jigs and plenty of terminal tackle . How about the Cabela's magnum bag w/8 3700-size plastic boxes? Here's the link: Cabela's Advanced Anglers Pro Series Tackle Bags with Boxes This or the one I prefer, which has an overhanging waterproof top, would organize and carry a lot of tackle. When not fishing, you load your jigs into it and carry it around or to the gym for an aerobic workout.
Side pockets on WFO will fit a bunch of long lures still in package. Or you could put them up top. After i open poppers i put them in the trays..and i put the jigs in a jig bag that fits in the top compartment or in place of a storage tray.
This is what i got, Shimano Borona Expandable Bottom Tackle Bags Plus I took and placed 3 of the large 3700 boxes in it plus 3 of the regular 3700 Cheapest I found on the net too d-a
Hi Brian, Which one WFO reel bag you and ToneyC use at Capt.Tomeny trip ? Small or large reel bag ? I need to get one for my spinners....
Your will never find a standard bag that will fit your needs. You either have to make due with the standard bag or box or get one fabricated to your specs. I own a bunch of tackle boxes and bags. Nothing is totally waterproof. Different trips take a different style bag. Day bags, two day boxes, and travel bags. I had a upholstery shop last year make me one that is awesome. He wrapped a waterproof fabric around a custom fabricated frame of aluminum and fiberglass. It's really cool. It's my perfect tackle carrier for a one or two day trip. I'd post pictures, but Uncle Russ would probably get jealous and drop everything to try and outdo me.
i put jigs in thinner plano boxes without assist hooks. works fine. i put poppers in thicker boxes. trebles can be annoying, but again, works fine. bait stuff is kept in boxes as well. i only bring what i need at the time out onto the deck. assist hooks/rings/split rings, etc are in a separate pouch. if a jig bag or popper bag helps you be more organized then go for it. i think the key is just staying organized as best you can.
