Organizing Tackle

[Dennis Steele]

I keep my tackle in Plano boxes but have found that my tackle keeps getting all mixed up.The plastic box bows and bends from the weight of the sinkers and everything gets mixed together in a short time.
How do you keep you tackle organized?

Well, as far as sinkers go - by far the best way I have found is to go to your local hardware store and get a "bucket boss" type thing that construction guys use to hold their stuff. Mine has about 10 different pouches and I put different size/type sinkers in each one. I got mine from Ace Hardware and it has a very sturdy strap in the center for carring. It can hold a bunch, and I mean a bunch, of sinkers. Mine stays in the boat, exposed to the elements all the time. Three years going and its not even close to being worn out. No lids, no plastic. Just reach down and pick out the sinker you need. Works great for me. Hooks get stored seperately in a typical Plano type plastic container.
