Hey buddy! So, you know how every time we go fishing, you can’t find your favorite soft plastic baits? Yeah, it’s like they disappear into the Bermuda Triangle of your tackle box. Well, listen up because I’m gonna tell you how to organize those little squishy fish magnets so you can fish like a pro and look cooler than ever. Let’s dive in!
Starting Off
First off, organizing soft plastics is kinda like cleaning your room but way more exciting cause there’s fish involved. Ever open your tackle box and feel like a bomb went off? It’s chaos in there! But fear not! I’ve got the ultimate guide to turn that jumbled mess of rubber worms and grubs into a neat little army ready to do battle with the fish.
Step 1: Gather Your Army
Okay, first thing’s first. You gotta gather all those little guys from everywhere. Check under the couch, behind the TV, even the fridge if you’re feeling adventurous. Seriously though, just collect all of them from that magical realm of lost baits.
Step 2: Wash ‘Em Up
You don’t want to send your soft plastics into battle covered in dirt and mystery gunk right? Grab some warm water and soap (not dish soap though) and give those baits a good scrub. They’ve been through a lot—like surviving that last trip when you totally didn’t catch anything!
Step 3: Sort by Color and Size
This is where things get funner! Sort them by color ‘cause let’s face it, we need some eye candy in our tackle box. Pull out all the glittery ones and organize them by size too. It’ll look super pretty. Plus, when you open that box next time you’ll feel like you’re staring at a rainbow instead of a horror movie.
Step 4: Label Like a Pro
And here comes the real secret sauce…labels! Get yourself some sticky labels or even plain old tape if you’re feeling cheap (we love it). Write down what kinda bait it is—like “Worms of Doom” or “Super Squishy Shrimps.” This way when you’re searching for your magic bait while your buddy looks at you like you’re crazy, you’ll seem totally legit.
Step 5: Use Containers or Bags
Now lets talk storage baby! Get some containers or zip-lock bags. You can sorted each type into their own bag or container. Do this however makes sense to YOUR brain tho cause not everyone thinks alike… unless you’re me cause I’m awesome at everything.
Step 6: Keep it Accessible
But don’t put those organized bags wayy back in your closet where they can’t see daylight! Nah man! Keep them in an easy-to-reach spot in your car or garage or whatever magical fishing place you’ve got going on. That way when it’s time to fish you won’t be scrambling around like a chicken with its head cut off looking for stuff!
Step 7: Show Off Your Skills
Now comes the best part—bragging rights. When you’re out fishing with friends whip out that decked-out tackle box like ta-da look what I did! They’ll be all impressed and jealous while you pull out super cute baits that look amazing!
