Josh, don't know if you've seen the specialty utility boxes made by Falcon
or not, but they might be the answer to your crankbait dilemna. I started using them this past season & they rock. I employ several to house my cranks. These utility boxes are made for specific types of lures, everything from cranks to jigs to spinnerbaits etc. I just use seperate Falcon crankbait boxes for shallow/medium/deep runners, one for hard jerkbaits & another for topwaters. These boxes make cranks very easy to select & manage. Search Cabelas for "Falcon Boxes", I'd post the link but it was rediculously long... http://www.cabelas.com Warren -- Warren http://www.warrenwolk.com Http://www.tri-statebassmasters.com 2004 NJ B.A.S.S.

Just wondering if the group has some suggestions to make my crank bait box make more sense, assist me in culling out some lures.

Here ya go Warren (ie: Falcon Boxes at Cabelas)
http://tinyurl.com/58935 Went to Cabelas, found the Falcons, and went to Tiny URL to shorten it up. That URL should be valid for a month or so. Nice looking boxes. Wal-Mart around here sells one similar, each box has specific storage spaces for specific types of baits: shallow cranks, hard jerkbaits, topwaters, etc. But they weren't Falcon. I want to say they were Shimano brand, similar to these: http://tinyurl.com/6utja "go-bassn" wrote in message ...

Warren Sounds like the deal Warren. I ever get ready to replace any of my standard boxes and look for specialized ones like those, I'll give them a look since you have a high regard for them.

When I started building up my fishing tools again a couple seasons ago, I focused on the rods and reels (Daiwa-Shimano/St Croix-Fenwick), and boat, and just got some basic tackle bags for storage.

I fish different baits based on water temp, lake I will be at, season, etc.
and only take those baits with me. I use four 3700 Plano's to keep my cranks in: 1) Lipless baits 2) Suspending baits 3) Flat sided baits - Tight wobble 4) Round sided baits - Wide wobble Seldom do I have three boxes with me at any time. I then arrange the boxes by depth in four rows with super shallow, shallow, medium and deep. As for colors, I have four color categories: craw, chartreuse, chromes and shads. I also like to have rattling baits (usually plastic) and non - rattling baits (usually wood).

I carry all my cranks with me at all times. One of my favorite tricks is to
throw a long-billed crank in much shallower water than it was intended to be used in. Really stirs things up down there if the grass isn't too thick, deadly where sand & rocks mix. -- Warren http://www.warrenwolk.com Http://www.tri-statebassmasters.com 2004 NJ B.A.S.S.
