To the comments on how much gear you see in this video. Keep in mind you’re looking at the Tiger Woods or Lebron of his respective sport. This is a true professional and a man who can match any forage or hatch wherever he’s at and win a tournament. Thanks for the tour Mike Best of luck and tight lines
Nice, thanks for the insite....can you show us what u take out with you on the kayak on a day of fishing say when you might be exploring a new body of water? Like your just haves and search bait type stuff and you are also limited because of the kayak so I would like to see how uu would do that. Thanks man and good luck this year
I thought i carried a lot as a bank fisherman lol. 2 Flambeau WP5005s full of hardbaits and a smaller box for jigs and my other terminal tackle, add in the soft plastics and it's quite the variety.
I utilize the deck system as well. Love it. I mounted a sliding bed on top of it which makes it pretty easy to access items in the front of the bed. There are some pros and cons to it though. Limits head room a bit and sliding bed doesnt fit window to window so you do have about 4" of space between the bed and window on each side. Im alittle OCD...I hate wasted space. lol
😲 I've been in many a tackle shop with less gear than what he's got in his boat, let alone the truck... I was actually surprised it was just 30 rods! I was expecting 50!!
Mike, That is cool, I am just like you. I pack everything because if you are truly fishing by your gut you could be using anything. It’s nice to have it tuned in by first day of tournament but why not have everything for practice. Good luck, this is your year.
Like a wet dream for someone like me with one rod that shore fishes. Its almost depressing lol need to book another charter at stick marsh or istokpoga to get over it
Save your money on the charter and buy a used kayak or jon boat and get out on the water. Most people only need one rod in reality, especially if you only casually fish one species.
Awesome video! It’s crazy to think how much tackle you’ve got! Great storage tips that I can hopefully utilize one day. College is expensive and it’s hard to even afford a bag of plastics to get on the water sometimes, let alone anything else, and you’ve got a wall, boat, and truck full! I wish I had even a handful of those haha! How do you accumulate so much?! Anyway, good luck this year and tight lines Ike!
Pretty neat tour thanks for sharing!! I can only afford like a couple duplicates of my favorite lures but it works for me. I wonder what gas mileage you get all rigged up like that? ? Like 6 miles per gallon? You must need lots of rods because when you get pissed you break them. I also wonder what toll pro fishing takes on a marriage and how couples manage? Maybe it’s good for marriages, not being around as much you don’t get on each other’s nerves. Also how long do you keep or replace your plastic baits? Do they have a “ best used by date” on them? Can they dry up or are they more effective when just out of the package? Lots of stuff! I’m just happy with my ultralight annoying a few bluegills in my dinky yak if I can get a day off 😂.
Mike, Thank for sharing. I'm not surprised but I am impressed. I would have guessed weight in the front to get on pad quicker. Thanks for the lesson. Wayyy too much stuff for one person to use, on the other hand it is your job so I get it. I'm guessing there have been more times than you care to recall when you said. I can't believe I left my whopper plopper box in the truck or the garage or I was sure I had my 6" sprayed grass lizards in here, what happened. But I have to say I think it may be time to buy a label maker! Thanks for the great Video!
Good lord man I didn't realize how much tackle you guys carry, that must be 30k in lures and line and another 15k in rod and reels. Mad props to you, I see know it's not just fishing.
I think the amount of tackle here is excessive. I mean even for a guy at Ike’s level. I would have a hard time finding what I was looking for timely just do to how much crap was in my way. But that being said Ike knows what’s best for Ike.
Apparently I dont have as bad of a tackle problem as i thought I did hahahaha. I only have one room of tackle and I fish for everything salt and fresh. Great to see the some insight on pro status. I can only imagine how much of a project it is when you reorganize knowing how mine is hahaha
necro but it looks like there are about 200 boxes of crank baits behind you. it must be hard on an off day in a tournament when nothing you have is working knowing you have that many options at home in your shop.
@@carson4632 over time I suppose things accumulate.😁 I stock up on trout gear during the summer and bass stuff in the winter. More cost effective, but they are always coming out with that new real or plastic/lure that I gotta have😁
What a great walk through. It’s amazing how much gear you carry just on your boat. I know you said you carry 25-30 Ross for practice, but how many rods do you replace during the 4 month season?
And the grand total is... Any guesses just for fun on how much all that brand new gear including boat and truck would cost if a guy would have to pay retail for it?
Hey, Tyler! It's about having fun and making memories. If not that? Why even fish! You don't need all that stuff if Mike had to pay for all that tackle he would be broke! He could even afford the Boat and truck. If he had a real job. Think about it. SHAWN.
You need to do a giveaway with all that extra tackle! Prefill packages with a little bit of everything and give them away! Also if you use my idea I should get the first bag haha
Mike, looks like you need some sleep, burning the midnight oil to get prepared for the season. What's the gas mileage on the truck with towing the boat and all that weight in the boat and truck bed? I bet you guys burn some serious fuel.
when you fish for a living you can't ever have to miny rod's and fishing tackel I found that out the hard way year's ago so yea its better to have to much then not enough oh and Ike keep showing those other pro's what your made of your awsome
You have more tackle than the tackel dealer in my Hometown.😅
"should be enough for one tournament day" good lord.
Holy crap!!! I can't believe he has so much stuff. Even at the end, over his right shoulder. Boxes of stuff. Just crazy!!
I thought the 4 boxes I carry was a lot.
You and me both!
He’d never use them ever. Tie 25 baits and you’re done.
Same dude! I'm like 5 packs of strike king craws is all i need.
You have more stuff than most sporting goods stores I shop at! 😂 . Good luck this season! My son and I will be following your progress!
Thanks Mike for the tour..I've always like to see you in tournaments. So much stuff. I can't wait for the yard sale. Good luck.

Thanks for the tour Mike
Best of luck and tight lines
Thanks Mark! Tight lines brother!
Ah... To be successful and do what you love... Really cool bro! Good luck this year, will be rootin for ya
Thanks for the support!

Hey Mike thanks for the props on the DECKED system! Looks great and proud to be on board with you on tour!
I thought i carried a lot as a bank fisherman lol. 2 Flambeau WP5005s full of hardbaits and a smaller box for jigs and my other terminal tackle, add in the soft plastics and it's quite the variety.
Have a good season!
Thanks man!

Mike you duh man! Thanks for the tour. Have a great season...we'll be watching.
Thanks for the kind words Jim!
Could you do a kayak version of this video?
I'm really digging the soft plastic storage. I do something similar but I don't do the bags in the box. I'm adding that to my setup.
I like it! You don't have to have as much as what's in this boat and trailer to be able to benefit from the same type of set up.
This boat is a tackle boat.....incredible
That is a great way to organize. Super efficient. Amazing at how much tackle you have. Looks like you have more that any fishing store. Lol
lol! Gna need a bigger space!
Mike Iaconelli Fishing I can store some of it for you. Lol
Amazing organization 👍 IKEMASTER!! What size or model are those deep flambeau bait boxes?
This guy has a whole store in his garage. #Goals
BOY a whole warehouse in his boat
Do you even have room for the fish?
mike you will always be my favorite pro. your truck melts my face every time I see it. :o
😲 I've been in many a tackle shop with less gear than what he's got in his boat, let alone the truck... I was actually surprised it was just 30 rods! I was expecting 50!!
Thanks so much for this one MR.Mike , sharing your organization process , so neat too , I really like
Mike,
That is cool, I am just like you. I pack everything because if you are truly fishing by your gut you could be using anything. It’s nice to have it tuned in by first day of tournament but why not have everything for practice. Good luck, this is your year.
I ordered your backpack
Flambeau Ike series, red and gray with black.
It's nice !
Zrust technology
I just wonder how many thousands of dollars of weights are in that box behind his driver's seat alone?
I only have one question...were do you put your clothes. Great insite of how you prepare. Beautiful boat..Good Luck in 2018.
Suitcases Ken! Tight Lines!
I wanna go to that Wolf Preserve in North Jersey
Ike, Random not fishing question: what shoes are you wearing. They’re nice!
Vans
Like a wet dream for someone like me with one rod that shore fishes. Its almost depressing lol need to book another charter at stick marsh or istokpoga to get over it

Great video. Thank you for sharing. Do you let conditions dictate, bait color, size, and technique? Or, is that just a small piece of the puzzle?
Thats a huge piece of the puzzle!
Mike Iaconelli Bass Fishing Can you do a video on the puzzle, and how to solve it. I just can’t figure out how to catch the right size fish.
What flambeau box did he use for the soft plastics? That's a good idea!
You own a whole fishing store it seems like with all that supplies
Thank you for sharing! Nice setup! Good luck this season
I love it man that's awesome I can't wait to get organized myself
Good luck to season Mike I hope you do good looks like you're prepared awesome deal you're awesome boat and truck that's awesome
Thank you Daniel!
Good luck this year safe travels
Thank you Jeff!
love it!!see you on the Sabine this year!!!!!!!!!!

Every fisherman has they're own way of doing things. This is one of the things that keeps me at my best. Thanks for watching Frank! Tight Lines!
Good luck this season and good luck at the classic. I’ll be rooting for you from lake Casitas!
Every pro and even some wanna be’s has a shop or garage full of tackle.
Ike are you sponsored by Ziplock? You should be.... Thanks for the tips and ideas for storage!
No problem!
Apparently I dont have as bad of a tackle problem as i thought I did hahahaha. I only have one room of tackle and I fish for everything salt and fresh. Great to see the some insight on pro status. I can only imagine how much of a project it is when you reorganize knowing how mine is hahaha
It's a good thing I dont have money like that I'd have big 300 gallon tanks set up with big pike / muskie shiners and suckers
You collect old wooden lures.?
I've got a few I'm looking to sell.
Nice setup!
Good luck and tight lines out there
necro but it looks like there are about 200 boxes of crank baits behind you. it must be hard on an off day in a tournament when nothing you have is working knowing you have that many options at home in your shop.
I see those strike king products😂
Haydog _322 oooooo Ike’s a traitor
Looks like ike got a bit of a winter coat on!! Yeah my man! Ike's da man!
I got to meet him he is awesome
25-30 rods?! I haven't owned that many in my entire life! 😆
Just enough larger to be an excellent tackle box
Do you ever make a box for a particular lake you are going to be fishing?
Nicely done,Ike. You didn't mention chatterbaits...do you fish them at all?
He did mention chatterbaits he just called them vibrating jigs
Michael Martin you're right
Ross Watkins yea, I acknowledged
Michael Martin that he was correct.
Wow, very nice! 1 tote is all the tackle I own and I thought that was alot😂. Loving the truck storage system as well👍
Drama D I don’t been own that much
@@carson4632 over time I suppose things accumulate.😁 I stock up on trout gear during the summer and bass stuff in the winter. More cost effective, but they are always coming out with that new real or plastic/lure that I gotta have😁

Awesome truck and rig!
Thanks Anthony!
Nice setup
Ok IKE...first fish of the tournament this year I want a BIG IN HIS FACE for me. Good luck this year and stay safe out there.
Thanks Blake! Tight Lines!
I want one of those hats and those flambeau with the handles nice set up good video see ya on the next one👍🏼
You should start make pop sockets. They will probably sell out fast though
I'm drooling
That's awesome! Those poor Bass won't even
know what hit them!👍😎👊good luck out on the road Mike hope you bring home the gold!!
Thanks man!
Good luck in 2018 Mike !! Love the video Bro. 🎣🎣🎣
Thanks Cory!
And I thought Debo had alot when he did his organization video
Never Enough!
damn those spare rods is building up!!!!!
I think you are short a few rods in your storage compartments against the garage wall. Better get work'n on that!
If I may ask, how much does your boat weigh with gear and fluids? Thank you.
Got any beetle spins?
Man this is my dream job and just started the tournament trail for youth anglers b.a.s.s trail. Any tips man?
Great video!! What tires are you running on your Tundra? Also do you prefer Double Cab or Crewmax?
Impressive Ike! Love the BassCat! Which one you running this year?
Great video! You got the dream setup going man! Keep it up.
And the grand total is... Any guesses just for fun on how much all that brand new gear including boat and truck would cost if a guy would have to pay retail for it?
Mark Blackstad 40k-70k would be my guess
70k wouldn't even buy the boat!!! I'm guessing around 300k+.
My arsenal of baits not even close to yours! Holy Crap! Thanks for sharing this with us! Good luck this year Mike!👊💥
What do you do with the old stuff do you just keep stockpiling it
Awesome man, hope one day I can have setup like this
Keep chasing the dream and never give up!
awesome set up Mike
Thanks Dwayne!
Got any spare baits your willing to give to a 15 year old bass angler named Tyler
Hey, Tyler! It's about having fun and making memories. If not that? Why even fish! You don't need all that stuff if Mike had to pay for all that tackle he would be broke! He could even afford the Boat and truck. If he had a real job. Think about it. SHAWN.
Mike,Were headed to Sc from Sav, See you next week son! Now get your tackle game right Look for my big ass sumbrero.
Awesome!
dude you have so much stuff hookup a broke fisherman out hahahahaha
You need to do a giveaway with all that extra tackle! Prefill packages with a little bit of everything and give them away! Also if you use my idea I should get the first bag haha
holy shirt bro, I only want to ride with you to watch your magic. you have a layout that seems mythical.
Your the man Ike catch some big ones this year
Appreciate it Bryan!
I wonder if everything is labeled?
Mike, you’re really missing out on not having some sponsor checks coming in from Ziploc 😂😂
A whole tackleshop in the truck and boat alone
Hey mike, your demon DT-6 and 10 is on fire on Martin right now.... just a tip from a bama guy:)
Thats what I like to hear Chase!
hats off mate super organised
Get me a couple lures, some power bait, 12 pack of beer, steak for dinner, shaded lake, my girl and my dog. Good to go!
Still searching for the vid where Mike busted the windmill on the front deck of his boat.....Give it up Mike.
3 packs per bait, size, and color!! I get one bag, and if I don't get bait. I don't even bother
Just curious whats the kayak for😂
Mike, looks like you need some sleep, burning the midnight oil to get prepared for the season. What's the gas mileage on the truck with towing the boat and all that weight in the boat and truck bed? I bet you guys burn some serious fuel.
Running on fumes! Just got back from a out of country trip and getting ready to head out again.
Dam its a tackle store on wheels.
when you fish for a living you can't ever have to miny rod's and fishing tackel I found that out the hard way year's ago so yea its better to have to much then not enough oh and Ike keep showing those other pro's what your made of your awsome
Always better to be safe than sorry in any situation.
My favorite tool,heavy TP 🤓
He has a mini store in his truck i think he just taks a craw out of a bag and throws the rest away
