I like to change lures frequently when I'm fishing in the QP.  

Problem: Try as I might, I have a hard time keeping my lures organized when I'm in the canoe.  I know I should return them each time to the tackle box, but I'm basically lazy, so the lures end up on the bottom of the canoe, stuck in the wood trim of the boat, or worse, stuck in my shoelaces...

This year I'm trying a new approach: a length of pipe insulation sliced on one side lengthwise and then pushed over the side of the canoe...see attached photo.  

I'm excited..this system seems easy and convenient, lightweight, and portable (can be moved wherever you are in the canoe).  What other ways do all of you keep your lures "under control" in the boat, other than religiously returning them to your tackle box?

Ever try (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)?  They won't keep the bottom of your canoe uncluttered, but the clutter doesn't get snagged on anything.

But isn't your tackle box already open & in front of you when you're getting the next lure out?

Same ease of selection as foam, but a little more secure.
I'm thinking you could use some peel and stick Velcro to anchor the box between your feet on floor of canoe, maybe back under the seat slightly?
Still accessible, but you can lock it shut if your paddling or the water gets rough. Flambeau  # WZ-11-9819
