In addition to space saving, it allows me to know what is what and when the bag is empty i know i need more. I buy multiple bags of high use plastics and then combine two bags in one, the normal package doesn't carry enough if you are on a hot bite or co-angler needs that color.

I keep my color choices to 3-4 and bait style to 3-4. I will combine 2 or 3 packs of same color / style of bait and then put those on a metal shower curtain ring with all like styles of plastics. Plus two 3700 boxes of hard baits.

I usually have a ring for:
10 inch worms
Senkos
Flipping bugs
Brush hogs
Swim baits for A rigs

I then keep a tote to replenish those in my boat storage shed. Reduces weight in boat and keeps things simple.

I thought you had to have every color and color combination known to man to catch fish. I sure hope my wife never hears this.

Everyone could actually make life a lot simpler and still catch as many fish with this approach. I probably have soft plastics in my boat that have been in there for nearly the entire 6 years I've owned it that I have never used.

I keep my soft plastics in the bag they come in and put them into these containers. Finesse worms, craws, creatures, trick worms, etc all in their own container. It works very well for me. I get them at Walmart.
