Good idea, I have organised shit like terminal tackle (jigging hooks, assist cord, jigheads, split / solid rings etc etc) into those proper sealed food containers from the supermarket then marked the top. Other items like skirts, jigs, placcys, divers & poppers are stored in proper bags, lure rolls etc then depending on what fishing I will do from the boat I grab what I need & carry it in a tub.

Keeps it all organised however add in a tool drawer for the containers etc. & label each drawer will keep home super sorted, I like it.

I have my gear at home stored in large heavy duty (semi water proof) travelling bags that I usually take on overseas trips. Inside my gear is stored in a mixture of different methods most appropriate to the items being stored... poppers in a popper roll, jigs in jig bags, small stickbaits (rigged) in plano boxes.. large trebles in clear containers.. terminals (split rings, solid rings, swivels, assist hooks) in a shimano binder.. small easy to lose items (split ring pliers, ferule wax, cigarette lighter, braid scissors, bobbin) in a small shimano pouch etc etc... When I'm heading out I just go through my bag quickly and grab what I need for the day (or what I think I'll need) and put it into a seperate (smaller) day bag. Probably not the most efficient way but works well for me.

I had the same dilema a few months ago my solution was such

Categorise your tackle ie. Hooks, terminal tackle, jigging tackle, sinkers, metals, jigheads ect.

Then I puchased a heap of Tactix tackle trays which you can purchase from bunnings and sort everthing in to it's own tray

I then found a sports bag which the tackle trays sit upright in and labled the spines with a dymo labler

All the other items which are to large for the trays go into various other tackle boxes

Hope this makes a little bit of sense I'll try take some pictures when I get home from work tomorrow.

 Simple RULE; Yer cannot have enough fishing tackle/rods/reels, just in case!

Toolchest great idea!

 I was actually thinking of posting something about this under the title "show us yer tackle" and get snaps of how people store their gear.  I'm likely to go the rolly tool box at some point.  For now, I have two of those big plano tackle boxes - a 777 and a 777-1 which are pretty much full, and the rest of the stuff is stored inefficiently in various containers in the shed, from lunch box sized containers to those big lidded tubs from bunnings.

I am often fiddling around with it all, trying to come up with a perfect system.  Put it all in a big tool box and run the risk of forgetting something.  Store it in smaller containers in bags and end up taking the lot, including gear you don't need.  I reckon that if you have  boat you're well ahead because you can keep a lot of gear on the boat itself depending on storage/security of course.  As an side one of my mates has his boat in a boat stacker and needed to let people on to do some work, and bingo, two nice rods and reels goooone.

Anyhoo, I think what you really need is a sort of "box of boxes" so you can at least grab 6 or 7 boxes rather than be selecting individual items.  But it is difficult.  Fortunately, its also fun.

I use a nylex recycling crate with a lid. Its great on boats as its tough enough to stand on, it has a lid for spray and takes a wide mix of containers which some of the proprietary solutions won't.

I find the big 3750 size plan cases always crack, they're too flimsy. I prefer to use the small IMA boxes, or 3650 sized ones, with a richter rig roll for skirts and a HPA jig king for jigs.

i have 3 large tackle boxes that are overflowing and some boxes of tangled mess of bibbed lures and rigs etc, i do have my skirts in a richter roll and my jigs in a daiwa jig bag, its the rest of it thats the issue.

some good ideas already though, plastic boxes within a larger box is a good idea, especially if the smaller boxes fit into a portable tackle bag nicely...leaning towards a bag or 2 instead of plano boxes lately - as mentioned above the boxes break and are generally a bit shit to use...

my idea was similar anyways i guess, to have small plastic boxes in the tool box drawers that would fit in a tackle bag.... then the top of the tool box doubles as a bit of a work surface, but im still keen to hear other ideas as well
