Milkcrate Question

So, what's in YOUR milkcrate?

-Allen

found this in Joels....

I retired mine, takes too much space.  I'm using the orange not so waterproof Plano orange tackle box.  Just got smarter on not bring too much stuff.

Used to be: a giant old-school Apelco VHF handheld (but it took almost 2 hands) in a drybag, two reels in another drybag, a burlap sack, and 4 PVC tubes on the back.

But like FishingAddict I went to an orange plano box so I could stop using the drybags.
The plano is like "instant add-a-hatch".

retired mine, now it holds spare kayak fishing items in the garage

Unlike others I have a 2.5 gal (w/bubbler) bait well, 4 poles holders, tackle box that fits on top of the 2.5 gallon bucket, flashing neon light for fog, stuff hanging off the sides I tried the kitchen sink but had to put that in the front hatch with the radar system

I usually only use mine when fishing multiple species. Bass, trout, panfish, Catfish etc all on the same day. Only thing that goes in it is my bait icechest, and small tackle bag. It also has room for three rods on it for the same reason. Don't use it in the ocean. I have a Tarpon and is not equipped for the semi waterproof plano box.

Also, night fishing it gets a 12v battery for my light that I use.

I quit using one too.  I really didn't need all the crap I was putting in it and it was just causing me to carry more than the essential equipment.  The more you carry, the more you add to the yard sale that's sure to happen some day.

ditto....mine now holds rattle can paint in the garage. For the T13 I used the plano box. for the hobie the center hatch tupperware. LESS IS BETTA'

I never used one on the yak but I still use them for the yak.  I have a crate designated for each yak and they hold that yak's specific rod holders, FF, DR weights, batteries, etc.  This allows me to just grab a crate when I know which yak I'm taking and I automatically know that I have everything for that yak and thus don't leave behind rod holders or the FF.

And I also have most of my tackle stored in small, clear plastic plano boxes that are stacked in crates.

Crate?
 Is that the thing we used years ago to carry too much gear in?
Now with the trailer all my gear is loaded in the yak, ready to go ... if I ever get the chance

P.S.
I have a couple crates avail w/ rod holders if anyone is intrested

Two rod holders and plus that's what I use it to saddle my yak when I tow it on land.

Too much crap. A few knives, gotta have knives......

I got 3 rod holders attached to the milkcrate and use it to store my RF's.
