How you organize your tackle box is very dependent on your personal fishing style, what type of fish you are trying to catch, and how many people will be using the tackle box. There are almost a thousand different ways to keep things organized.
However, setting personal preferences aside, most anglers have found that keeping certain items for certain type of fishing together in one area of the tackle box can be beneficial. For example, if you enjoy fly fishing for trout in the river, having all your fly fishing gear in one area makes it easier to find when needed.
Another tip is to keep the tools you’ll use most often, such as the needle nose pliers, hook sharpener, and fish knife in their own separate compartment that is easily accessible from the outside of the tackle box. The last thing you want is to be rummaging around in the depths of the boxes when a hook is stuck in your thumb.
