They make excellent boxes for separating lures and gear into categories such as lake fishing, stream fishing, trout fishing, etc. One of the new style of tackle carriers is the sliding drawer box. It sits vertically and drawers slide out from the front. Drawer boxes are perfect for wet weather fishing as everything except the drawer that's open will stay dry. They also are excellent boxes for use when boat fishing, where space is at a premium and where lures would be difficult to select otherwise.
Many anglers prefer to organize their tackle into special lots in smaller boxes.
These smaller boxes can then be stored away in larger boxes, such as a hip roof unit, until needed. Tackle can easily be segregated this way and available at a minute's notice. It's also a convenient place to carry your fishing license. Also remember to dry the hooks off to keep them from rusting. It only takes a minute to ensure that moisture has been eliminated and your lure finishes will reflect the additional care.
