Organizing Lures still in the package

[MartinTheFisherman]

Hello,

 

I was wondering how everyone organizes their non-opened lures or new lures still in the package? Without getting them misshaped or rusted?

 

Thanks

Martin

 

Lures I need to find a way to organize...

Leave half at home as backup for when you lose one

I open them and throw away the packaging as soon as I get them home. I then store them in Plano utility boxes.

I store them on peg board hooks.  Once I'm ready to take them out to the water, the packaging comes off and they go in my box.

Plastics go into shoe-box sized plastic tubs sorted by type.  Hard baits go into cardboard boxes placed in large rubbermaid bins very roughly sorted by type.

Plastics go in old tackle boxes based on what type of plastic it is. Senkos in one box creatures in another like that. I open the hard baits as soon as I get them home.

66 quart tubs with other like baits where they set forever because I do not have enough time to fish them but keep buying them.

I keep them semi-organized on pegboards in my shop.

several totes like this with grocery bags inside organized by type: stick baits, flukes, craws, creatures, etc...

For hard baits, a huge cardboard box with grocery bags inside organized by type: spinnerbaits, shallow cranks, mid cranks, deep cranks, jerkbaits, jigs, etc. 

Then a few smaller cardboard box for terminal tackle like weights, hooks, jig heads, misc., etc. 

I don’t have a problem with bent baits. But then again haven’t gotten to the bottom of the tote lol. Seems like I never will. The pile only gets bigger!  I do rummage through occasionally and haven’t noticed anything too bad

Thanks for all the replies and help!

I've seen display stands sitting out behind stores in strip malls many times. I assume they're trash and are free for the taking. Or you might ask someone in a store if they have any old display stands you could have.

This is what I do too. Open them, change out the hooks and split rings and organize them in plano boxes.

Pegboard hooks. Easy to see and grab when restocking.

Store them in Ziploc gallon freezer bags by brand or type, then store those in the large 66 qt Sterlites.
