Location: Orland Park, IL | After spending what seemed like hours untangling my cranks (why and how do those hooks get in eyelets I will never know) and putting them in the bait box, I found myself staring at a 2 foot tall stack of plastic boxes.
A couple of ideas came to mind:
1.) take some construction adhesive and make a foot rest or stool by the fire.
2.) connect them side by side with the adhesive and make a ramp of some time.
3.) throw a flag and make em into a planer board
4.) assemble by 3 in a triangle and make a pole toss game
5.) remove the separators, drill a few holes for a leech holder
6.) remove the separators, drill a few holes for the NCA upcoming season baitholder
7.) Use em for other storage on the boat, ie, nuts, bolts, smokes, lighter
Take them to the next plano anonymous meeting.
"Hi I am Mark and I have 22 empty plano boxes"

| Mark, For plastics I've taken most of my plastics out of the original packaging or sandwhich bags they get shipped in and moved them into zip lock bags. The kind that have the slide tab. It makes it easy to open and close bags and grab what plastic you want.
Then I have all my plastics sorted by grubs, ring worms, etc etc. into seperate "rubbermaid" containers. Clear plastic with white covers, bought at Fleet Farm. They're only a few bucks and you can get all different sizes for what ever you want.
So When I'm fishing and say I'm pithcing jigs with grubs. Then I'll keep my grub box out and the rest stored. But I'll have all of my colors available.
And if you have 3700 series plano boxes.....I'd be interested in a takeing a few off your hands. I have a unique fileing system at home for all my plano boxes.
Good Luck |

Location: Berlin | Congrats on the B&B box. It is nice to not deal with tangles and they float. I wish I had one when my box of 100 Hot-n-Tots blew out a Saginaw a few years back. As for the plano's, melt them down and make a nude sculpture of Jerry. Just a thought  |

Location: Orland Park, IL | yep, very nice product. Mannerino gave it a big thumbs up. And I remember when I ran into Ryan at the Farm and Fleet in Oshkosh. Got em (2) yesterday.
Maybe is melt them down and make little jerry's. Hang a hook and pull em. Give new meaning to bare naked. HA |

Location: Chicago IL. | I have b&b boxes for my plastics. I did what jayman did and use ziplock bags and have a double sided and took out some the dividers and have rings on one side and grubs on the other. Makes life easier. I also use a box for my hair jigs. |

Location: Berlin Wi | As a long time user of the B&B bait boxes, I have strugeled with this dilemma. I would get smiles from B&B when I was purchasing "New" baits. Unknown to them was the fact that I was using the old plastic boxes to store those "old" baits that I could not seem to part with. (Don't tell B&B) . I now have all the old boxes full. What am I to do? My wife says I "definatly need help" . She has offered to help me do a "clean out". (Not a good Option)
I'M in a quandary! |

The quality of B&B is great. Really solidly built. Plus a great way to take a picture for insurance purposes. One stop crank bait shopping. It also reminds me of the number of cranks I have. I got two bait boxes. Both are full, and I still have more to go. I think I need to order some more....
