Your Team Kits. Let's Go Fishing.

Doug put these three boxes together specifically for the CVCS team — everything you need to get on the water and start catching fish, organized and ready to go. Each box builds naturally on the one before it, so you're always learning something new without starting over.

Soft plastics and the foundational rigs every angler needs — stickbaits, ribbon tails, swimbaits, and tubes. Four baits, four colors each, with the right jig heads to fish them properly.

Jig fishing and heavier cover techniques — flipping craws into structure, working jigs around docks and timber, and burning a bladed bait through open water.

Finesse rigs, swim jigs, and topwater frogs — the ned rig for picky fish, micro jigs for skipping under docks, and the frog for those unforgettable topwater blowups.

Box 1. Reaction & Finesse.

Box 1 is where it all starts. Four of the most reliable soft plastic baits in freshwater fishing — stickbaits, ribbon tail worms, swimbaits, and tubes — each in four colors, with the right jig heads to fish them properly. These are the baits that have been catching bass for decades, and they still work everywhere.

Whether you've fished your whole life or you're just getting started, these four setups will teach you a lot about how bass think — and they'll put fish in the boat while you're learning.

There are cheaper boxes out there. The latches fall off, the dividers are flimsy, and the whole thing flexes when you pick it up. This one doesn't. The Plano 3700 is what tournament anglers actually use — built to handle years of hard use on the water.

Box 2. The Flipping Game.

Box 2 is where you start getting into some of the most fun fishing there is — flipping craws into heavy cover, working jigs around docks and timber, and burning a bladed bait through open water. Two craw profiles in four colors each, matched up with compact jigs, arky jigs, and boogie blades. The colors are coordinated so everything pairs up right out of the box.

There's something really satisfying about dropping a jig into thick cover and feeling a bass thump it. That's what this box is about.

Same box as Box 1. Stack them, label them, and they'll hold up for years. One-handed latch, pre-cut heavy-duty dividers, dedicated label area, made in USA. These are the real thing — not the cheap version that flexes when you pick it up.

Box 3. The Jig Game.

Box 3 rounds out the whole system with a few presentations that are just flat-out fun. The ned rig is one of the best finesse techniques in fishing — simple, subtle, and incredibly effective when bass are being picky. Micro jigs skip way back under docks where nothing else goes. The swim jig covers water and finds fish. And the frog setup — there's nothing quite like watching a bass blow up on a topwater frog on a calm morning.

Once you've worked through all three boxes, you've got a really well-rounded kit and a solid foundation for a lifetime of fishing.

Three boxes, three lids, one organized tackle system. All three are identical — stack them, label them by box number, and you'll have a complete kit that stays organized for years. Built to handle real fishing, not just sitting on a shelf.
