What are the best ways to store swimbaits?

[CastingWithCoop]

Hey SU 

do any of y'all know good ways to store swimbaits

i was thinking about getting a Lakewood tackle box but they are very expensive 

I was wondering if y'all had cheaper options?

thanks SU

I got a LakeWood this spring and they are the ish! What I had set up prior to that was a rubbermaid container with cardboard dividers just duct taped in. I wish Lakewood had a monster swimbait size for all my 12"+ esox stuff.

If you’re already considering the Lakewood, I would advise biting the bullet and do it.  I have had mine for almost a year and not once have I thought “man, I regret spending so much on this ultra-high quality solution for storing and protecting my expensive swimbaits.”  Do yourself a favor and get the big one with extra hanging clips.  It fills up FAST.  
 

I did manage to get mine on a pretty big sale around the Christmas holiday season last year.  Maybe see if they are planning on running another sale similar this year since it is so close.

I hang mine up on a peg board for storage and throw a bunch in a Swimbait underground wrap when I head out

I do the same. Big pegboard and throw what I want in wraps in a backpack when I head out to water.

I keep all my swimbaits inside many many many Plano boxes (Model 3731) in the garage where the wifey can’t see them…..

SBUG bait wrap for when fishing, these for storing swimbaits, excluding softbaits ofc.

I have 4 tier shelving in my garage that I keep my kayak fishing gear on and the shelves themselves have slits in the middle that paper clips can hang from. 1 tier of the shelving I hang my hard baits from the line tie by a paper clip and the other tier I hang my soft baits the same way. The slits in the shelving keeps the baits separated, no kinked tails or fins and keeps everything visible at a glance.

Similar situation in my garage……ssssshhhh!

Typically just bring a handful when I’m on the water. After use, they dry up….hook keepers back on, and back in the Planos.

Partitioned plano boxes with hook keepers for me.
