Gotta agree with you there, specially seeing as how my masters thesis is going to be designed to reduce harmful risk taking. It would be great for more young people to become addicted to fishing.

I have 2 boxes of softies and am in the process of building up my hard body collection. Have got quite a few different gold ones and am now branching into other colours.

Tell your dad that he definately needs to support this addiction of yours

Hey Mike,

If you are after a good box/bag for your softies and hard bodies and everything else, check this one out. Big W have them on special at the moment for about $50. They include the 6 boxes in the price. Pretty good value I think. The brand is No Limits.

Cheers

Hi mim

Nice little buy from Big W it pays to do your shopping.
So far in the plastics departments only three shades but growing gradually. i do have more flies than i can poke a stick at (Thoes trees wont get me now).

I think its breeding season for plastics.

Those No Limits bags are great. I got one for xmas and it is great. Mimbo have you seen the tacke wallet thing at Big W, it is about the size of a CD case and has inbuilt heavy duty zip lock bags in it. Perfect for keeping SP fresh. Like tne insinde of the ECOGEAR waist pack. I think these were $10-$20.

Yep we saw them too, but decided the bigger bags were better for now, specially when on a boat, as you never know what type of fish you might encounter. They are pretty light weight too.

I had two large plano's full of softies but there were a few plastics that were never getting used and had no intension of using. So I just made one box up of all my favourites. Also have 2 small container for ecogear (but now I keep them in the bags) and my 2 hard bodies (dont worry I'm waiting on a order:) )

Nice looking bag mim I would buy one myself but havent seen them in bigw down in the sticks :( They also don't have those spinner zip lock holders:(

no boxes but bags....i break my softs down into 8cm X 10cm ziplock bags.

then they are arranged into styles , colours and into atomic/slider bags. i find you can fit alot more into my tackle bag ;).

the smaller ziplock bags cost me $2.20 for 100....good for us cheapos :D

gday
are those zip bags like the ones that the atomics come in
the reason i like tha tackle boxes is that u can pick any softie from a lift of the lid.
thanks michael

Great idea pete I have found that some of my original plastics are fading and the ones I have left in the bags are awesome looking. Maybe they should start making smoke coloured plastic boxes to reduce the impact from the sun

Pete, you sound like a druggie :D

I always feel somewhat guilty when I buy ziplock bags.

:cool:

AtomicGrant,

If you are looking for them in Big W in Bunbury they are near the fishing stuff. The tackle wallets are in the ailse where the rods are to the left and the lures are to the right, go to the end of the aisle and they are there. The tackle bags are in the same place but are one ailse behind. Hope that makes sense.

i agree mike, a box is quicker but my tackle bag is small so it needs to be well organized. a trick i learnt from my bushwalking days is the bigger the bag the more DohDohDohDohe you put in it.

and lcf, i buy 100 at a time so i dont feel like a druggie....just a dealer :eek: :eek:

I keep them in their original bags, and I put those in big tupperware style boxes - all that goes in the tackle bag and on a given day I pull out the bags I want and put them in the vest for easy access:D
