In today’s video, Andrew discusses his methods for swimbait storage. Both soft and hard swimbaits can be difficult to store somewhat due to their size. Swimbait storage helps keep you organized on the water and helps protect your favorite swimbaits.

From a kayak, I don’t have much space. I’ve modded some thin 3700 DBoxes and removed the dividers. I installed some closed-cell foam on the bottom. I can get 6 Chad Shad-sized swimbaits in one box. I don’t really fish baits larger than that. For soft baits like the Magdraft, I do something similar to you. I save the blister packs and stick them in a medium to deeper 3700-sized box. The Kastking box is cheap and works well for my soft swimbaits.
For Huddlestons use a giant worm binder, academy carries one that can hold 15-20. I only throw the 8 and the 10 and it holds them great. With a Huddleston protecting the dorsal fin is important if it gets bend too bad it can effect the swim.
I just use them for musky fishing. I have one big plastic tub that fits in my backpack for storage. So I have to be limited on my baits
When I'm fishing in a boat I have a big honking bag. The last time I went fishing I only used two baits for an entire week.
Nice video Andrew! Some really good ideas for storage! Thanks for sharing my friend! God bless!
Eyesurrender bait wraps are sweet You can carry Multiple Baits With a small foot Print. Definitely convenient for bank beaters, such as myself.Throw it in a Backpack and you're good
Been using ammo boxes for a while and honestly it’s the best storage for packaged baits.
One of the guys I fish with came up with a great DIY box for storing bullshad type swimbaits. I would be great for glides also. We have a video up on our channel where he goes through the build. DIY Bullshad Swimbait box. The one I have will hold 11 baits total, all laying flat in their own cushioned space. 5", 6", 7" and 8 inch baits.
