My setup has turned into a nightmare trying to find a certain bag of soft plastics ever since I started making my own baits i have them overflowing the boat lol. My bags don't fit good in the plano boxes so they just been in big Walmart bags in the boat. What is some good suggestions yall use to store soft plastics? I was thinking about just using the plano 3700 elite boxes for hard baits, hooks sinkers and jigs, and put my soft plastics in something else that is labled worms, creature baits, flukes or something. I want something that the plastics don't get smashed too bad

I keep the soft plastics in the bags they come in and separate them like you were saying, craws, creature, trick, flukes and so on. Then I place them in Tupperware container (I think I bought mine from Kroger) and put them in the box in the boat. Someone may have a better way but this one has worked for me. I also for the most part keep the weights and hooks for my soft plastics in the their original packaging and have a separate Tupperware for them.

- First off I do not load the boat with all my plastics. They are hanging organized in the shop.
- I will not fish more than 5 different plastics on any one fishing trip and those are specific for each lake that I am going to.
- I will pull 2 bags off the pegs of each that I am going to fish on that lake.
- They go in the top of my backpack which has all the other fishing items in it that I need.
- I do have the soft plastic day box on my Skeeter in front of the console and have it line up with a few of other things that I might like to throw if the fish are not cooperating.
- I keep it simple and change those baits out for others on a different lake the next trip.

I have a Skeeter with the new style large center box. I have my Plano boxes down the center in the slots. I keep my plastics in their original bags and store them in clear plastic shoe boxes with snap lids. These fit perfectly on the sides of the center section. I use large labels for the top and one end of each box. I can put as many or few as I want in the boat.

Home Depot sells a set of 10 boxes for $12.95

The direct link wont post but they are made by Homz
