Best terminal tackle storage ideas 2024

Best Terminal tackle storage ideas to prevent tackle getting mixed up.
i have tried multiple ideas and boxes and i like to have all my hooks(treble,bluegill,crappie /bass), swivels, weights( bell singers and split shots), snaps etc all in one box like a plano 3700 series.. problem i have is once i organize it i can not tilt the box or flip it upside down because eventually all my tackle will side under the dividers or over the dividers and get mixed up.
what do you guys use to keep it all organized where it can be tossed around in a boat and dont have to worry about it
Fishes in trees reply :
Weights - I use lots of smallish boxes sorted by style. 1 box for tungsten, 1 box for drop shots, 1 for internal tube weights and so forth..
Hooks I store in their original packages and sort by style. I use those zippered pencil bags you get at Walmart for a dollar each.
Anyway there is one bag for tx rig hooks, another for drop shot hooks, a third for wacky rig hooks you get the idea, I think there are nine or ten bags all told.
I carry too much variety to try to make it fit in one box - AND I have the room in my boat to carry a bunch of stuff.
I know how to cut back and just carry what I need for one day, it is just that most of the time I don't have to, so I don't.

Super glue the dividers in, on the bottom and in the side grooves. Also glue a piece of non skid shelve liner on the underside of the lid. You'll be able to turn it over and shake and nothing will move.

There's a few terminal items that I use constantly - 2/0 to 5/0 EWGs, bullet weights (1 or 2 sizes), round drop shot weights and line pegs. These are in a small Plano "mini-magnum" style box that stays up front with me on the boat.
Then I have a two larger Plano boxes (3600 I believe) that has fixed dividers for the rest of my stuff. I put a sheet of cardboard on the underside of the lid, and on that I have a layout map of what every compartment has.
I like the system of different boxes, because If I find that I'm using a lot of finesse hooks, for example, I can easily just swap it out or add them to the smaller box and have them immediately handy for the remainder of the day.

I have also been looking for a good solution to store terminal tackle and came across the Plano 45501 that looks to be exactly what I was looking for

I use a standard Plano 3601 and I have never had stuff come over the dividers. That's the extra thin box. In several the normal thickness ones I certainly experienced it. You'd want the 3701 I suppose.

I use the Plano 3601 as well and never had a divider problem but 1 did come out today. No big deal I was considering doing the superglue or some type of glue that works well on the plastic. But over all I like being able to lay out my dividers as I want them.
I use one whole Plano 3601 for my Flippin stuff exclusively Hooks,Tungsten, Skirts, rubber bobber stops etc.
I also have one smaller 2 sided clear Plano Medium Double Sided Organizer #3450 . It hold an amazing amount of assorted weights, hooks and stuff for its small size. I use it for my more common used terminal stuff like EWG hooks etc. Oh I really like it has 2 latches per side so if one doesnt get latched completely I dont have a huge mess in the floor of the boat.

Bankbeater reply :
I keep the bullet weights, split shots, and smaller size hooks in empty medicine bottles from the pharmacy. They fit in the 3700 box, and the cap on the bottle keeps the stuff from spilling all over. I just write on the label with a Sharpie.
Fishinthefish reply :
I cut a peice of foam to glue to the top of plano boxes, and glue the dividers to the base. That keeps everything where it needs to be.

I bought the regular/shallow Bass Mafia box a few weeks ago from Tackle Warehouse and I have to say, that thing is sweet. What a premium tackle box that thing is. The red color and Bass Mafia logo is pretty cool.

Putting hooks and swivels on a safety pin helps keep them organized and together.
WIGuide reply :
I think it was about two years ago now I switched over to the Plano 3701's for my terminal tackle. I've got one for hooks and one for weights and etc. Since I switched to those I haven't had any issues with anything sliding over/under the dividers. If you are looking to use what you have though and modify it, you can super glue the dividers down. Otherwise, you can get yourself a roll of aquarium airline tubing, split one wall of it so it forms a "c" and slide pieces of it over all the dividers as it'll fill the gap between the top of the dividers and top of the containers. For something like split rings or swivels you can either keep them in small bags, or if you want something waterproof, you can pick up some contact cases. Put your stuff in there and label the lid.
blckshirt98 reply :
The Plano terminal tackle box is what I use. Anything else I have the same problems with tackle sliding under dividers and getting mixed up with other tackle.

I’m up to 2 big flat Plano boxes of terminal tackle. I like the idea of super glueing or epoxying the dividers in
JediAmoeba reply :
I have tried everything and I am back to multiple 3700 plano boxes and keep everything in the original packaging or I put it in a lot of small watertight ziploc bags and rip the package label off and shove it in the little baggie and keep it in the 3700 box. I have 5 3700 boxes for terminal tackle - weights, heads, hooks and such.
When I go fishing I use the small 3600 boxes with everything thrown in I need for the day. After going back and forth and having to throw everything away once, when it got wet and everything was in a 3700 box but loose - I am sticking with this.
Smalls reply :
I've tried about 100 different ways of storing terminal tackle. It's pricey, but I'm really impressed with the Edge box so far. Wish it was just a tad deeper, but that's just nit picking
Quarry Man reply :
- 3700 Bass Mafia Box, either double deep or normal size, depending on the amount of tackle you want to store.
- go to the dollar store and purchase cabinet mesh used for holding dishes in place, glue it to the top of the container
- go to the local arts and crafts store and purchase 150+ 2" x 3" craft baggies.
- cut out 2" x 3" notecard from hook packages
- label accordingly
- put the hooks in the baggies and weights and all your other terminal tackle
- remove two dividers from each section of the coffin to make room for the baggies
- organize the baggies accordingly, put bigger hooks on the bottom
- purchase desiccants from amazon, place 1-3 in every compartment.

I absolutely love those boxes. In fact I have switched over to using them for everything. As a bank and kayak angler, they offer so much efficiency, its the best I have found yet.
Small 3449 model for terminal tackle.
Another 3449 for zman Ned baits and terminal tackle for Ned rigs.
3450 for lures and jigs.
3500 for soft plastics.

The Cal Coast Battle Box is the best way to keep terminal. I can keep everything in separate canisters and pull the canisters I'm using out and put in my pocket. Never have to worry about dividers moving on me. It also comes with round labels to put on the top of the canisters so you can easily see what each on has.

I realize I don't have a boat, but I do have a kayak. With limited space, and with me needing to keep things simple. Here is how I store my terminal tackle.
Went to my local Kroger, and asked if they'd sell me a hand full of prescription bottles (they ended up giving them to me). I label the lids with each container's contents. Keep them in my box/caddy. Easy access for me, and nothing getting mixed up together.

That's pretty cool! Looks like I will make a few of those up.

Pill bottles. If you're a geezer you probably throw them away all the time. They have 3-4 different sizes depending on the pills. Locking covers etc.
As far as boxes (and please remember this old geezer is a very cheap uh... frugal one) I purchase these boxes on Amazon. They are thread organizers. Good hinges and tight clasps and it's not cheap flimsy plastic. The dividers are fixed but there are a few long ones in the center. 46 compartments on two sides. They are about 10"x3x14" and to get an idea of the compartment size, they are often purchased to hold matchbox car collections with room to spare in each compartment. Those are big spools of thread. And about $13 each.

I hadn't seen this. You have to know what to ask for for the right things to show up on Amazon. Nice find, especially for the price.
I've found that if you put the word "fishing" in front of it the price doubles. And sometimes you don't need the ones that will survive a fall from an airplane because.... well, you're in a boat.

Beachpig reply :
I’ve wrestled with topic for the past few years. Started with a large bag and 3700 series Plano containers, then 3600 series and then I started feeling like I was making things more difficult than they had to be. I fish from a boat, from shore and from a kayak. I only need to take some of my terminal tackle depending on when, where and what I’ll be fishing from. Best option I came up with is this small tackle bag and I filled it with 2 diffent sizes of the Plano 3400 series boxes. Each box only has one type of item just different sizes or weights. Now I either take the whole bag or just what i need. I haven’t even filled this bag to capacity yet. I could easily fit three more 3400 boxes or one more 3500 in there. Best thing I’ve done to date when it comes to my gear.

So $30 for the box, and then $35 more to make it work (plus man-hours)?
All we have to do is take all of our items out of the already labelled bags, then put them in different bags and make new labels. Then modify the box so stuff will stay in place by adding some shelf liner, even though everything is in bags, and even though I just paid $30 for this box that should be perfect at that price?
Yes I think my system is better...Plano box for $2.88 at Walmart. Only tiny hooks get under the dividers, but I never use them anyways. Weights stay where they should, snaps stay in their original bags. 
Heck at these prices I could buy a separate box for every hook and still be cheaper, though bulkier I'd imagine.
And you probably can't afford to sue me if you're paying $75 for a box 
Or maybe that means you can. Just havin' fun.

This is a good easy option and lays to rest, to me, the biggest problem with terminal tackle storage.
To me anyone that doesn't either store their terminal tackle in the original package or transfer it into a separate baggie over putting it loosely in a plano box has never had to throw out 100 dollars in terminal tackle due to rust.
I have tried a rustrictor box and that may help to lessen rust from condensation due to temperature change but it didn't work for me.

the process I am using keeps the terminal tackle from getting wet and therefore no rust. I try to buy hooks and items I use a lot in bulk, but didn't want to bring 100 5/0 hooks with me. This seemed to be the best solution for my fishing routine.

I'd also vouch for the Bass Mafia, though I don't utilize the baggie system and I use spreadsheets way too much at work to be that anal about my tackle.

I bought the Flambeau Zerust Tabs for mine. Just cut them to smaller size and they seem to work pretty well.
im off at school right now so I don't have pictures of my most up to date system, but ill link the few I do have

basically I have all my ewg hooks up top left, I have superline and normal and light wire in each of 1/0 - 5/0
in the compartments I have:
- all my finesse hooks in various sizes
- trailer hooks, flipping hooks, round bends, misc hooks that see little use but have a specific purpose
- all my tungsten worm weights
- all my tungsten drop shot weights
- Swimbait hooks
- Swimbait jig heads
- ned rigs and shaker head etc
like I said, this isn't my current setup but its similar, I keep all my extra hooks in a little Tupperware and refill when needed, that way im not carrying too much of each hook. this also helps me stay visually and mentally organized

I tried those from Walmart and the bands hung loose on the hooks. What am I doing wrong?

Can't say for sure ~ Perhaps post a picture ?
I will say that I always 'wrap' the bands around both trebles a couple of three times.
Just enough to keep them secured & not flopping all over.
If that doesn't do it let me know And I'll post a few close up pics here of what I'm referring to.
btw - 3 treble baits like jerkbaits & top water plugs require a little creativity.
Guess I'll post a few pics anyway -
Give me a few - brb . . .

Does this help ~ ?
For Three treble baits I go around the front & middle and end at the back

OK, I know what I have to do now, thanks. The BM Deep is not going to cut it on the kayak, too big and hard to handle reaching behind the seat. I'm going back to the Plano 3700 deep like I was using before. I'll have the BM stored up front in the hatch.
