i really enjoy hearing other peoples ideas for tackle storage and how they carry all their stuff. first year up there i had never really fished artificials much as i just used live bait on the lake i lived on. i had a couple bags of grubs and some jigheads with a few crankbaits. now i fish almost exclusively artificials and over the years my amount of tackle i bring has expanded. i had used a plano 2 sided tackle box for a few years,

but the best method ive come across so far is a pair of plano 3700s (with the big blue latches). one for the front of the canoe, one for the back. the rear one velcros right behind the back seat on the horizontal triangle portion of aluminum (rear deck lid) and the front one velcros on the vertical wall in front of the front paddlers feet. hooks portion of the velcro on the canoe, and the fuzzy loops on the tackle tray so its quiet if you set it anywhere. a few weeks before the trip i get the empty front tray to whoever my paddle partner will be so they can fill it with whatever they want. each tray has 2 pieces of 2" by 8" industrial velcro, so the trays sticks easily on portages, heck id even trust it to stick to the canoe on the drive up. that way i dont have to dig through my pack on the way in when i want to change lures and they make portaging a breeze
