Tackle Bag/Box/Bucket Recommendation

[Harpoon]

Thanks for the feedback! I already bought one of those 5gal bucket toppers and will drill some holes. Maybe I'll expand on it someone day but I'll give this a try.

For just a simple box for sinkers rings and a few lures, I'd go with a plano waterproof case.

I use the Shimano Borona (md size) and even though it was expensive, it has features I couldn't find anywhere else. It has the planos stacked with a front opening for easy access, and I make sure to wax the zippers to make sure it doesn't go to crap quickly (I use a crayon). Plenty of room for rigs, scissors, pliers, knives, line, etc. Try to give your bag a quick cleaning after each use to extend its lifetime. I also bring a cooler where I mounted a cutting board on top to make for a good space to do cutting/measuring. Great for a party boat but there are loads of options to choose from. Good luck

I hate tackle boxes - they all break. So stick with the bucket or try this, its all I use now:

I find that they last about 3-4 years and takes an absolute beating. I use a permanent marker to put my name on it - can't beat the price!

This holds all my gear, and I bring a small 7 quart cooler for my lunch/taking home fish.

I do like the bucket approach too, but I find they don't fit under the bench on all boats...

Use a chlorine tablet bucket with the screw on top. Will stay dry and easy to take on and off.

Plano Dry Storage Emergency Marine Box, Orange. Come in medium and large. They're great.

This is what I recommend too, screw on top is completely water proof. We use one to bring saltwater back to the dock to store our filets in while cleaning fish.

A cooler on wheels with Rod holder works for me. You can sit on it, put a spare set of poles, scisors, hook remove etc and put your tackle in it as well.

I haven't found one I like either. I keep the clear flat plano boxes filed with what I need. One box for bottom fishing, one for jigging, etc. Then I can take only what I need either in an orange Depot bucket for a party boat or in my kids old backpack for a charter or private boat trip. Quick easy, inexpensive and you can customize it to fit your style of fishing.

I really like the bucket for party boat fishing, keeps everything dry and it's less likely to get stolen than a fancy tackle bag.

I like these. I use the Nomad. All built great, fit standard trays and have lots of storage. Check them out on Amazon.com too for lower prices.
