I am a recovering tackle addict.  I've been tripping since the 1980's and cutting back my fishing tackle has proven to be the toughest challenge for me.  Every year I narrow it down a little more.  I used to take a big double sided plastic box but these days it's a small plano and small foot long duffel for misc. gear.  If it don't fit I can't take it.
