Personal Assessment
Before spring arrived, I was looking for an alternate way to store my fishing tackle.   I had a large plastic tackle box which I lugged around every time I want fishing.  This box was not only heavy but took up way too much room in our boat.  I saw these SoftSider Systems offered by Plano and knew I had to give them a try.  I enjoyed the convenience and portability of these tackle systems the first time I used them.  I have the 3375 SoftSider System and the Guide Series Medium Bag 3336 Tackle system.  I also purchased many of the stowaway plastic boxes which hold everything from spinnerbaits and rubber worms to my crankbaits.  Now instead of lugging all of my tackle with me, I just swap the StowAway boxes in my bag to suit the kind of fishing I’m going to be doing that day.  The straps make the Tackle Systems a breeze to carry and the pockets are perfect for extra tackle such as bobbers, pliers, fishing line, maps or anything you might want to bring along.  To say this product is portable and convenient is an understatement.

Product Limitations
I keep this section in my reviews to give the reader ideas as to what application the product wouldn’t excel at.  I can’t honestly figure any application short of wading on a stream where this product wouldn’t be useful.  The strength of the Softsider is the fact that it is universal.  You can make the bag fit your needs regardless of what type of fishing you are doing.

Recommendation
I would strongly recommend the SoftSider System to anyone who needs a good way to store their fishing tackle.  The product line includes bags and stowaway boxes of all sizes and will suit the needs of any fisherman.  I especially like the ability to throw the strap over my shoulder and carry my tackle hands free.  The StowAway boxes are adjustable and will hold tackle of most any shape and size.  If you are looking for a new and possibly better way to store your fishing tackle, check out the Plano SoftSider Line.
