I’ve got dozens of small packages of soft ice fishing plastics just stuffed in larger ziplock bags. I’m looking for a good storage solution so I can store them in a way that I can see and choose the plastics easily.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Al
I have all mine in small plastic totes bought for about $2 a piece. They stack well in the storage compartments and I have a handful so I can separate my flukes, curly tails, paddle tails, worms, and creature baits.
I use a product called the bookworm. It’s a canvas foldable wallet that velcro shut, and has velcro inserts inside of zip lock baggies. Each inset is like 7 zip lock bags sewn to a velcro strip that you can attach to the inside velcro binder. The mini will only hold about 30 total bags, while the regular will hold over double that. Sportsmen direct sells these, as well as extra inserts. The description of the product should say how many come with the bookworm. I know I ordered a couple extra and make them all fit….

I can take a photo of mine when I get home.
Clam makes a pretty nice soft plastics holder that separates everything out very nicely and neatly. Lots of room too!

Shane,
Thanks, Shane. That looks right up my alley. I’ve seen the Clams’ holder too, Matt. But, I think the Bookworm would fit my particular needs a little better.
Thanks for your replies!

Here’s a photo of mine

The additional bags. 6 sewn into a velcro strip. Then you just apply it to the velcro binder.

Wallet size…. keep in mind the mine is half the size, and if you have alot of plastics, you won’t be satisfied with the mini.

Appreciate you taking the time to post pics Shane. Looks like a nice set up for plastics.
Yes, thanks for posting the pictures, Shane! I ordered the big one.
I appreciate the heads up!

I’ll second Shane. I’ve used one for the last few seasons and really like it. I like that it fits so well in the pocket of my bibs so all my plastics are on me and ready to go all the time.
Bryan, I assume you’re talking about the mini?
Al
I did just get the big one and it fits in the pocket of bibs but the last few years I was just using the small one.
Thanks, Bryan. I think I’m going to really like it.

I attach 4 sets of bags per side of binder. Here is how to do that…. see how I have it staggered over?

By the way, if anyone is thinking about the mini bookworm, here is a pic of mine….

I scored a Spiderwire plastic bait binder in the clearance section at Wally World for $5. Too bad it’s $25 regularly.

I just leave the baits in their original packaging, and organize them within the big bags of the binder. I have 4-6 small baggies within the large binder pages.
Plano SoftSider Worm Wrap is a good one too. That’s what I use.

Would love to try these but they are out of stock. Anyone know where they can be found?

Anyone find a better soft bait binder for ice plastics recently ? Clam discontinued theirs. Nothing in the new catalog for this year replacing what they had.
