RE: new tackle box
I like the new soft side products that are out now. I always used the plano series 3 tray open box when I had a larger boat and downrigged for Lakers and Salmon. I just left it open and all my tackle was there for the picking. Now that I fish out of a bass boat the floor space is limited and the soft side with 3600 type boxes works well. I put marking tape on the outside edge of the boxes with the description of the baits that are inside. Top water is in 1 box and jerk baits are in another, tubes and worms etc. I stand the inner boxes on end in the soft pack so I can see the stencils and grab the right box. When I fish in a friends boat I can bring a couple of rods and the soft side pack with a good assortment of baits in a small package.
