"Organizational Tactics"
By: Chad Morgenthaler

Most anglers carry around a tremendous amount of tackle, so being organized is an absolute must!

Whether on the water during tournaments, or just fun fishing, the last thing any angler wants to do is waste valuable time searching through unorganized boxes and bags. To prevent this problem, I spend several hours off the water organizing and reorganizing my tackle boxes so that I can quickly find and identify the baits that I wish to use.

Plano offers several great boxes to organize everything from crank baits, buzz baits/spinner baits, jigs, and tubes. My favorite boxes are from the StowAway line. The boxes are very versatile because they come in several shapes and sizes. I prefer the ProLatch StowAway because of its positive and stable locking system. The plastic locks on the boxes do not falter in cold weather and can take a ton of punishment from daily use on the tournament trail. I also like the 3700's adjustable compartments to store my tubes, crank baits, weights, etc. They are clear so it's easy to identify exactly what's in the box at any given time. This box also comes with 4 sets of latches that I can use for color coding.

For an all-in-one box, check out one of Plano ’s newest products on the market, the FlipSider™. This system has revolutionized the tackle storage world with the 3378 hybrid base station and Plano ’s newest addition the 3258 and 7603. These systems offer the convenience of a bag and the organization of a box, making it a true hybrid.

The 3378 molded section houses three rows of patented FlipSider compartments that range in depths from 2.5” to 4”. The compartments are secured by a sturdy DuraView™ door and are great for storing a variety of spinner baits, crank baits, scum frogs, etc. The bag also features self sealing waterproof zippers, expandable pockets, an over-molded hard bottom and three Pro-Latch™ 3700 series utility boxes, which are included.
