I leave plastics in origanal bags and then place them in labeled one gallon zip-lock bags ie: 3 inch Senko, 4 inch Senko, 5 inch Senko, Lizzards, Tubes, Drop Shot, 7 inch worms ect. I then have lid mounted bait holders that hold the plastics I am using or plan to use. G3 HP180

I leave them in the original packages and store them in these boxes.

I label the boxes, worms, tubes etc. You can dual store two different types of baits in one box as a standard plastic bag will take up exactly have of the width of a box, use one side for worms and the other for tubes. You'd be surprised how many packages of soft plastics will fit in these.

I really only have a few favorites and the rest take up space, I get out what I'm using for the day and keep it in my TM recess (day box lol). It's easy to pop down to what I need. I have a ton of plastics but only use a little.

Ziploc bags (gallons) or tupperware boxes. I leave the plastics in the original packaging.

My rod lockers have racks that are raised, so I have plenty of storage available under the rods in each locker. I use plastic bins the size of shoe boxes, and separate each type of bait (craws, small worms, large worms, baby brush hogs, flukes, senkos, etc.) I keep them in original packaging, but combine 2 to 3 bags into each one. The boxes are the perfect width for most packaging to fit perfectly in. I can fit 12 small boxes along with one larger one (for all my craw type baits). and have all my plastics int he same lockers and organized perfectly. I'll try to snap some photos after my seats and carpet is redone (everything is out of the boat now).

I use two of the Plano boxes mentioned above. I have one with nothing but Zoom plastics. One side has nothing but Brush hogs and the other side is everything else. The other box has one half Powerbait and the other half is other various plastics. If you fish enough, you will know where each color, style, brand, and size plastic is in each box.

Plastics like Senko's, Worms and finesse worms which I have a lot of stay in original bags and go into plastic shoe boxes by type. Plastics that I don't have so many of, like Beavers, Frogs, etc. stay in original bags and go in the Plano boxes referenced above (deep ones).

I kid those notebook zip pocket things-like kids put in three ring notebooks to hold pencils and things (about 25 cents apiece at Wal-Mart) and put them together with three heavy duty key rings. They are bigger than any worm binder on the market, you can color code them, and they have see through plastic, so you can see your worms. Really works great and better than anything I've seen on the market.

I have the Shimano Baraja Monster worm binder. It is also a 3 ring, but the original rings were too small and worthless. I added 4" rings from the hardware store than added 20 additional "bags". I have 3-4 bags of soft plastics in each in their own original bags. I have close to 50 lbs. of soft plastics and can find anything I want in no more than 15 - 20 seconds.

got a friend who uses these to hold his worms and locks them to the underside of a couple lids. great way to also save a little space by having them on the underside of the lid. http://cgi.ebay.com/50-Black-J...08a3a
