Tackle Boxes And Bags

What are you using to keep your jigs and spoons in?  Links or pics would be nice.

I use a small Plano box.  The one that has compartments on both sides.  I tried the tube thing by Northland once and had trouble with the tubes staying in the rubber middle housing and dumped jigs all over the ice.  The Plano works great for me.

I second the exact same Plano boxes. I use one for "spoon type jigs" only and another for "minnow style lures". For smaller teardrop jigs I use the smallest Genz Box by Clam. I think it holds like 50 small jigs and has some compartments for smaller spoons and plastics. They are small enough containers to fit in the oversize pockets in my rod locker/bag.

It's a fine line between fishing & sitting on the ice like an idiot

I use the small clear plastic boxes with compartments for each jig, that way I can see whats in each box. I just put them in buckets in my Guide.

I like this little box, has 4 removable boxes and a small compartment on top for storage of miscellaneous goodies. It's hard to show size, but it fits half way into a 5 gallon bucket, it's compact.

"perch eye remover" is that what that is?  I was wondering about that.

Works like a champ, too.   ;D  In fact I just mailed out a few to some friends today. I use antler tines for the perches on cedar birdhouses too, and making the perch eye removers is a good use for the base that's left over.

I have the exact same one. Keep different colors and styles in each small box and other larger spoons and other supplies on the top, a great little box.

Hahahahahahahaha no you got me on that one but I'm still thrilled to see someone else using that same little box for icefishing...when I saw that box on the shelf I didn't care about cost I said to myself "that's mine" and never looked back its absolutely perfect!

This is just some of my gear that I have pics of. I think there are 5 more small boxes also.



If fishing was work I'd never be sick!

I don't have the perch eye remover but I do use antlers for perches on bird houses. We don't have any perch in our area soooo.

I too have the same tackle box as bullelk34 but mine is tan. Its big enough to carry quite a bit of gear but small enough to fit into my sled nicely with the other equipment. I got mine about 3 years ago and haven't even looked at upgrading to a bigger box.

The plano 1157 is the best, the 4 trays for loose stuff, and the top tray holds my 4 fly boxes with jigs.  2 small clam boxes, 1 med clam box, and a bug luggage.  been using it for a bunch of years.

 I use the Clam jig boxes with the flasher bag by Clam as well. The Flasher bag holds a ton of tackle plus has a spot for two poles. I hole jump alot so it is a bonus to have everything all in a portable bag with a shoulder strap.

The little Ice Armor box is great for my Fiskas and Ratsos, and I have a couple Plano boxes for spoons and plastic tails.

This all goes in an old army grenade bag.
