Simple Soft Plastic Lure Organization for Your Trip to Mexico

Based on years of experience, I can tell you that no matter how many hours you spend organizing your tackle prior to your trip to Anglers Inn El Salto or Picachos, by the second day everything is likely to be a mess.

Those gallon ziplocs you packed so carefully? Their contents are spread throughout your tackle bag.

The specific binders that you filled and labeled? They are buried deep under three utility boxes.

And that one soft bait that seems to get bit better than everything else? You have a hundred of them in the room and none in the boat.

The five-hour morning and evening sessions on the water go by remarkably fast, and if you don’t have the right lures or can’t find the right lures, you’re burning time and money. Even if everything you need is somewhere in the boat, every minute you take hunting it down is a minute that you won’t have a bait in the water. Take all of the “what if” possibilities you want, but once you’ve narrowed it down to five or six key baits there’s a simple way to make sure that you always have plenty of what you need right at your fingertips.

The great thing about this is that it doesn’t require you to bring everything you own in the boat. It doesn’t require you to have a tackle bag weighing 500 pounds. It doesn’t require you to take your whole tackle bag back to the lodge each night. And it doesn’t require you to buy any specialized equipment – you likely already have a utility box that’s perfect for this solution.  Trust me, I still spend a fair amount of time digging around as I cycle through the oddball baits I want to try on each trip, but I spend far fewer minutes in “search mode” than in years gone by.
