Two part question here.
I currently use an 'old-fashioned' multi-tray hard plastic tackle box for surf fishing. If space is limited and I'm with the family, I've even put tackle in a hard plastic Nestle Quik container. (They are worth saving for the garage and shop, too!). I also carry the occasional plastic compartmented clear boxes that you see in those tackle 'bags' (soft-sided tackle boxes).
What you do think of these soft-sides? Do the zippers hold up? Or do you have to wash down the bag every trip?
Also, I like to make my own 2-hook pomp rigs. How do you like to store them? It's just a mess in a tackle box. I've used cheap, non-food grade ziplocs and put them in the Nestle Quik box before.
Always looking for improving the set up. Thanks.
