What size storage containers for soft plastics are y'all putting in the front big compartment of a 721? I know somebody posted an amazon link before, also what size bait trays are ya'll using?
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the compartments are the same as my 920. Any 3700 series size will fit in the middle. I have a mix of bass mafia, plano, and flambeau boxes in there.

I would try and only keep lighter stuff in that front box if speed is a concern, the very front is much more weight sensitive

I use the deep 3700 plano boxes (with no dividers) for plastics. I keep them in the packs also. I have the majority of them stored in the compartments behind the seats with a couple in the middle compartment of the ones i use the most.

Tupperware. Alot cheaper than fishing specific boxes. I'm about to go that route myself. Grab 4-5 of them and separate creatures, trickworms, mag worms, lizards, and maybe even swimbaits still in the shells. That way I can for one not have my front storage look like a tornado tore through the plastic isle at bass pro, and 2 move them all to the back storage to get weight out of the bow as DREWTICK suggested. You can always move whatever you're using that day to the front storage.

yes just keep a couple of boxs of plastic in the front rear box and even then to the back of that box make a difference, these work good in the rear boxs, you can fit 3 and 2 3700, I do this to add weight to the passange side when alone and quick swap to the other side when have a co angler or swap out with a different box for that time of year.

recently I also use a lot of the shoe boxs, you can fit 4 of these in a rear storage and still have room to stuff things, get them at Dollar General or in bulk on Amazon

I just switched over to gallon freezer bags from an actual nicer style soft plastics bag. Like it so far simple and I can see what’s inside.

I've used 3700s in the back passenger compartment for a long time but I'm slowly going to gallon bags. If you have a lot of plastics I would use the passenger rear compartment to store them
I am still playng with the position of everything but i almost feel like the boat leans to the passenger side, i may have to switch soft plastics to driver side. Hopefully i dont have to move my rods to driver side. I guess its common to try and counter the weight of the driver but I only weigh about 140 so maybe all the gear weighs more than me lol

The boat is passenger side heavy to start with where the tm batteries are positioned. I wouldn't move the rods. Just move tackle and if it still leans a little add some water to the driver side livewell
I think my cranking battery is on the passenger side if i remember correctly. I will try the livewell trick if i have too

Should be the trolling batteries on the passenger side.
