I dont think my tackle box is that tidy but that's giving me the heebie jeebies nick 😬😬😬😱

I've decided I can't really control all aspects of my life, but if I can get and keep my tackle organised I will be happy 😁

It starts off tidy at the beginning of a session, then by the end looks like a bomb has gone off😳😱

I haven't tidied it since my last carp trip in October😉😁

Last time out in France... I moved 5 times you can only imagine the state of my tackle box & storage bags  by the 5th move 🙄😁

This is my chaos 

Will have to do in two stages, although having seen nicks I feel quite tidy 😁

Hello , Blue .

I'm thinking about buying a Korum Fast Mat .

In your opinion how big a carp would you feel happy putting in the mat ? , on the water I'm on at the moment the heaviest they go is high 20s .

Ta .

I asked korum this before I bought one 

they reckon the biggest they have had on it is 40lb

looks ok to me for 30 odd

I've gone through a fair few different terminal tackle solutions in my time, from using one of the old original Shakespere tackle boxes back in the 90's, to the Fox F Double, Avid Pouches and Korda tacklesafe - however as the years go by I found myself naturally honing my terminal gear to just what was necessary and fell upon the Korda Tackle box a few months back. I like things organised and this is perfect, rather than having hundreds of plastic pouches in pockets to sort through. I know it's very fanboyish and I'm not like that normally, but I think this is a genuinely decent product for someone like me who scales down their carp gear for mobile UK day sessions.

Very neat  👍 .... I wonder if we added up the cost of filling out our tackle box’s what the amount would be ?

I dread to think of the amount! Even buying rig bits from places like bank tackle, it soon adds up.

Agree.

I often consider insurance value. The big stuff (rods, shelter etc) is easy to value but if you had to put a value on the tackle box it'd be tricky. Those little packets add up innit.

[elmoputney]

First off I got 2 ngt lead bags one for pva bits and one for leads, markers and other toot that is still messy from lto 😁

[elmoputney]

Then this lot in an ngt glug pot bag 

Which also houses this 

And that is all my bits other than a rig wallet and it fits in my rucksack with space to spare 😁

 

 

[elmoputney]

Almost forgot my repurposed ngt stove bag which is for camera and bits and other electrical bits like lights and a torch 

Which all fits nicely Into my rucksack, pouches on the side, rig wallet and camera main compartment with room for a few other bits 

 

[elmoputney]

My tackle pouch fits nicely In the top section leaving me with a big front pocket for buzzers and banksticks and some space In the main compartment for anything else I need, thing I like everything has a place and can be quickly Reloaded 

For me that is pretty organised ta daa 😁

I tend to take a small amount of pva nuggets just enough to use for the session I put them in a zip lock bag. The spare pva refills go in there also.  ..... where’s the flask going ?

Stove and gas go In food bag along with tea making kit pans and any other food based bits I need 😁

[Rich7]

I’ve posted this before. But the whole kit is £130. With wheels waterproof and pretty bomb proof

and the rest, I bet I've got over a grand in hooks and leads alone, it is truly frightening how much money is in my tackle boxes and a high percentage will never be used!

Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of us have £2000 plus in tackle box bits alone

I worked out I had £9 quids worth of fox tadpoles then stopped before i added up all the hooklinks (I have recently purchased £10.95 worth of esp x stiff coated braid though) so that's £20 on 2 items 😁
