I agree with Okie. There is not a good way to store them. So I don't. I throw em in 1 gallon zip locks. And have them packaged into lakes, waster conditions, and time of year. I have 30 gallons worth. I usually only have to take one or two with me each day.

I really like the system I have now:

Large duffel/boat bag> 5 Plano speed bags inside> each speed bag is organized by type. The bags I currently have in my boat bag is: Senko/finesse worm, Curly tail worm, craws & creatures, flukes/ swimbaits, & a day bag.

the boat bag weighs a ton because of the # of plastics I can hold, but since it is so organized I can pull out the speed bag I'm looking for and find the bag I want very very fast. It fits nicely behind the bench of a center console.

You also have room in the boat bag for a culling beam, culling tags, weigh in bag, and buoy markers underneath the speed bags and an auto inflate life jacket on top of the speed bags so you're always tournament ready on someone else's boat.

Refreshing, an honest fisherman!! There is not a good solution....
have to agree with Okie

Haven't done it yet,but full pegboard and constant rotation for every variable for each trip, about only way to go. My family thinks I'm addicted to the organization process, I hate it, I could use that time to fish.

I do exactly what you are thinking all the time. I have several soft side bags that I keep soft plastics in their original package in. That way you can add what you need or take out whatever you don't need for the trip, depending on the season or techniques you plan to use that day.

Get a soft side bag that has other pouches on it for other stuff like pliers, hooks in their original package, weights, and dip n dye since you are planning on taking it with you as a co-angler.

This ^^^^ is the answer to your what you are wanting to do. I have used this type of tackle storage for many years and it works very well. I just don't understand why some have problems with tackle storage unless they have never tried this system. Now in the boat I have several plano boxes with soft plastics in them with finesse worms for drop shotting and baby brush hogs because I use those baits a lot and they are always in the boat. Everything else is in the original package in a soft side bag with side pouches. Works great for me.

I made this out of a wooden frame with slots from 1/4" pegboard. I have used this for several years, and it works great. If I'm going somewhere where I may use diff type baits I take some plano boxes out I don't think I would use and add more. ONe box I keep all my worm hooks and weights ect.

Looks good buddy. I like the way you used a piece of PVC to keep your C-rig leaders organized too!

I think the takeaway here is to keep your plastics in the original packaging, and find something (duffel bag, speed bag, plano box etc.) to keep your groups of plastics together that works for you. Let us know if you find something that works well for you!

Agree....not only keeps them as well as can be expected but, you have all the mfg information on each package.

** Again, JMO but, if you have soo many packages of plastics and are not a 'pro' or fishing for a living, you probably have way to many. LOL, I know I do....but I won't add to the problem and my habit by adding a 'pegboard' to store even more

I will say that my pegboard full of baits and lures is a lot cheaper than a Shrink..
