Buyer's Guide: Best Tackle Storage Solutions And Gear Protection!

In today's Buyer's Guide we're focused on tackle organization and gear protection. Being more efficient on the boat and at home leads to more fishing time on the water. From better organizing your crankbaits, to protecting your reels, there are so many small actions that will lead to better results. Come along as we look at some of our favorites and explain why they're so effective.

There are some amazing new tackle storage solutions this year! Plano's Edge FLEX boxes allow you store virtually anything effectively. 13 fishing's Skull Caps protect reels more effectively than any other cover we've seen, and some simple bands will make line storage much more manageable. Come along as we explore the best of the best when it comes to storage and protection!

Below you'll find links to each of the items discussed in the video. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions. We've also included an explanation of the box sizing so you're sure to choose the right item for your needs.

Cross Country Fishing Trip (22 States) - Update!

We've been on the road for over a month and made it all the way to Alabama! If you've been following along you already know we've stopped at some amazing lakes and caught some beautiful fish! Truth is, we're just getting started and the best is yet to come. We're turning North and there are some huge Largemouth, Smallmouth, and some bonus species ahead!

Our goal for 2019 is to bring TacticalBassin to you. We vowed in January to get on the road and visit as many of you as possible. We haven't taken that goal lightly, fishing in 23 states and 2 countries thus far in 2019. Though we've now arrived home from our cross country trip there are many more videos coming. Keep an eye out for famous fisheries like Lake Chickamauga, Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, and more!

We also promised to give you the top 10 baits from this trip. Some of these lures are from videos you've already seen, others haven't made an appearance yet. In no particular order, these were the most influential baits of our 2019 cross country trip.

Best Gear For Fishing A New Lake

How Do you pack for a lake you've never been to? What gear are you going to need? How much tackle should you carry? How much is too much? Do you need anything special? Today Tim answers all these questions by taking you along for a tour of the gear he packed for his trip to Michigan.

Preparing for "anything" that a new lake can throw your way is very challenging. If you specifically select baits that have multiple uses it is much easier to be prepared for varying conditions. From clean water to murky, from a topwater bite to ledge fishing, you can get away with less tackle than you might expect.

Below is a break down of all the gear Tim took to Michigan to chase Smallmouth on lakes he'd never seen before. They're broken into Finesse/Spinning Gear and Reaction/Casting Gear.
