Tackle Box Vs Tackle Bag
Submitted by Trimee on Mon, 2018-08-13 16:42
Hey All
was looking at getting something new.
i was looking at tackle bags?
it would be mainly for boat fishing would you say it is easier to keep them tidy than a box
or the pros and cons of a bag over a box
Thanks

I swapped to a bag last year and find it much easier.....I have a selection of little boxes in the bag with either lures, jigs, hooks etc.....
my main reason was so if anything falls out of the boxes (swivels etc)...then they will be contained in the bag rather than falling into some crevice and slowly rusting and destroying my boat....

2 x tackle bags all the way, sooo much easier, got rid of the trays they supply and bought some you beaut heavy duty one's from Office works. One for all the terminal tackle and the other for jigs, trolling lures and placcys.

Very similar to what you get
Very similar to what you get in the tackle bags but they are fully moulded so you can't shift any of the internal compartments. But are very solid and perfect for hooks, swivels etc all the smaller items.

I went with a bag. First of all, my shins and hard angular objects on a rocking boat are not the best match. And then I found it is easier to put a bag into a tight place than a box. Bag deforms a bit, box doesn't.

Bags are great.....but the only thing that shits me is the zips only last a year or so, I wash with water and give them a spray but still have a limited life.

I love a bag - and the versatility of changing the contents for the plan of the day.
Bags don't smash if dropped, but the zips deteriorate and bust - and have to replace bag.
i am thinking of getting something like this

Bag all the way. Easier to
Bag all the way. Easier to shove up out of the way in tight spaces when not in use and worth its weight in gold when you're landbased and clambering over rock walls . My brother in law brings this great bloody tackle box on board when he comes out and it does nothing but give me the shits all day with the limited deckspace I have on my 5m boat.
I bought this one 2 years ago and it's still in new condition even with the odd bit of saltwater on it.

Hiking backpack works the best for me I've found and if it's a decent quality the zips shouldn't rust.
I use bait wallets for all my rigs etc and smaller tackle trays for my lures and stuff. Easy to fit clothes in with your tackle and keep it all together

4 boxes around 280x180, but about 6 x 160mm lures to each tray. I’ve bought extra trays, I just swap them out to suit the fishing I’m doing.

Can be checked onto airline and secured with padlocks
Add on few rod holders you have yourself a mobile rocket launcher on the boat. Can be seated and use as a stool to step on.
Can chuck my reels, lures, accessories in there

This is sprayproof if you have sea spray this ain't gonna be affected. Good for me when I go jungle bashing and need to be on foot constantly.

Tackle bag
I got one of the gear bags from whitworths almost a year ago and sorted all my gear into; heavy/light tackle, small/big/metal/soft lures, jig heads, asssits, etc. I've never looked back, it's so handy to pick and choose the gear I need for local trips and when I head away, everything fits into the one place.

I use a tackle box for spin/bait fishing and a tackle bag for all my fly fishing gear. Can't take a box out with you when you're wading.
