What do you store your terminal tackle in?

For years I’ve stored my terminal tackle, light wire aberdeen hooks, split shot sinkers, and a few floats in a Plano 3500 box. Storing this upright on its side in a bag allows the smaller hooks to slip from their trays and blend in with other sizes of hooks. What’s a better alternative to this?

I keep my split shot in original dial container and hooks in a cheap Amazon fly box. Hooks stick in foam and stay upright.

If you want to keep using your Plano boxes, go to Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Michiels, etc. and get you a full sheet of 2mm craft foam. Color of your choice and some contact cement. Cut the foam to fit inside the lid then glue it in-place with some weight to ensure full contact. Wait about 24 hours for full drying to take place. Remove weight and close lid. Foam should seal each compartment and not allow spillage from one compartment to another...
I use E6000 glue, available at Walmart.

You probably just solved my issue. They even make these foam sheets in peel and stick form. I have a Hobby Lobby within 3 miles of home. I’ll be trying this. Thank you!
