sent into the ether:

I decided to re-reorganize my tackle and the more I stare at it the more
confused I get.Spinner baits for example.I use these little square boxes
that hold about 18- 20 lures and by the time you get them in by colors
blades weight etc they are co crowded in that you choose one and end up
with three.Any better solutions.???Worms etc.I use long plastic trays 7x12
approx. and sort them by brands into color into size and so on and at the
end of the day I have about 10-15 bags loose and strung out from one end of
the boat to the other.HELP. I don't seem to have as much trouble with
cranks R-traps and the like becaust the are easy to remove and store in
trays . the same with jigs.I know that I carry way to much tackle for one
man but I just can't bring my self to leave any behind .I know there are
better systems than I've got but what are they and who's got them???
Thanks Ken Blevins

Hi Ken,

This problem used to bug me too. I bought a fairly large soft tackle
bag with 4 side pouches, 2 large front pouches and use Plano style
boxes. The bag holds 5 in the bottom and three smaller ones in the
top. The top also holds one small spinner box, The side pouches have
different uses. One just holds bags of soft bait, like worms and
such. Another is equipped with rings and holds my supply of spinner
bait supplies and the ones I don't use very often. Another holds my
hook supply and the last hold weights, slip bobbers and assorted other
items. The top front pouch holds plastics I am using at the time so
they are not laying out. The bottom front holds pliers, side cutters,
forceps, clippers, scissors, Advil, sunscreen and such. I manage to
get enough variety with this bag so I have not been left without what
I need. Of course there is my "backup" bag that has another six or so
boxes. I may bring that along and leave it in the truck. That way I
can switch stuff around for the water and conditions and my boat is
too small for 2 bags. And I don't count any supplies I have stored at
home.

Your best bet is a larger boat with more storage :}
