When you have made the decision that it's time to really upgrade your fishing tackle, you've probably already started buying some new lures, hooks, weights, and baits. However, what are you going to do with all of that tackle to keep it organized? The right organizational structure for your tackle box, or boxes, is essential to protecting your tackle investment. Here are some things to consider.
Create Separate Boxes for Different Types of Fishing
Combining all of your tackle in one box can leave you with a cluttered mess if you tend to like many different types of fishing. Organizing things so that your fishing gear is easily accessible no matter what you're fishing for can make your excursions more enjoyable.
Create separate boxes for your bass, trout, and other species. Alternatively, you can invest in one large box and dedicate separate trays for each species. This is ideal if you don't have an excess of tackle for any single species.
Separate Your Tackle Types
Weights and sinkers should be kept in sealed compartments of their own so that they don't inadvertently damage any of your lures or soft baits.
Keep your lures secured in separate compartments, and protect all of your soft lures and baits with sealed plastic bags or similar packaging. This protects them from damage and keeps them from drying out. Don't combine hard baits and lures with soft baits and lures because the chemicals and materials can cause damage. Keep them separate so that they all stay in good condition.
Protect Your Lines
Fishing line can be fragile stuff. If you want to protect your spools, keep them in sealed plastic, whether it's plastic bags or hard plastic containers. Keep each spool separate so that they don't risk being tangled or knotted.
Separate Your Tools
Dedicate a single tray in each tackle box, or one tray in your large tackle box, to your tools. Your pliers, cutters, and hook removers should all be kept secure and away from any of your tackle. That way, you don't run the risk of something being damaged accidentally due to a sharp edge or shifting in transport.
