I keep mine in TB by colors, But do have two boxes by brands witch I thing I like better. Most of the time I leave in bags until I am fishing with that color of jig then I'll take the out of bag and put in box.
I use a BPS worm binder - something like this >>

Generally speaking, I leave them in the pkg they came in ... or put them in a small ziplock bag of approximately the same size. All those bags/pkgs are then placed in tackle boxes, in accordance with where/when/how I'm fishing. Occasionally I will move them around, between boxes & storage containers, depending on how well they've produced ... or if I want to give them another chance to prove themselves :Rofl
Since I usually use weedless jigheads for casting plastics, I don't tend to lose all that many plastic bodies ... so my "collection" stays fairly substantial.

I have to agree with Pappadave, the BPS binders are awesome. I just received two that i ordered last week and i am more than just a little impressed. Tons of room and I went ahead and ordered 1 set of extra pages, cause you know you will load those suckers up. Personally I leave everything in its package, unless I can find a storage device that will allow me to remove them. Plastics, I feel, do not store well out of their packages. But thats just me. I have been using 2 Plano double sided TBs for the last twenty years and this year i figured it was time for a little change up! LOL
I mainly use the binders for plastics(didn't read the OP correctly). Got a pouch for each different color. The ones I use most come out of their original package and dropped loose into the envelopes - easy to grab - likely to buy them by the hundred. Stuff I don't use as often stay in original packages with several per "page".
Other tackle, like cranks for instance go in plano style boxes. Got boxes for jigheads, boxes for topwater baits, boxes for worm hooks, a couple specialized spinnerbait boxes, waterproof planos for river floats, etc. My "tackle boxes" are milk crates, or file crates. Keep all the different planos in an old file cabinet and just pull out the ones I need for a particular trip and drop 'em in the milk crate and go.
papadave,what size are the bags and how much do thet run?
I have 4 boxes of different colored plastics and one box with jigheads...
If you use the BPS binder the rings open accidentally quite often. Fix them by replacing with a couple shower curtain rings.
Here's what I have(or close, mines an older model) > http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shop...2042405182739/Quote:

Stuff l use often and buy by the hundred I just dump a handful at a time in the pouches. They are easier to get your hands on that way(plus the whole pack wouldn't fit anyway). Other stuff goes in in the original pouch, might be several different colors and don't want them to bleed. Both sides of the binders have zipper compartments, hand ties go in there.Quote:

As long as I don't just stuff 'em in there.Quote:

Organized? LOL. Seriously, I tend to store mine by style. Jig heads in one Plano, BGs in another, tubes in another and hand ties yet in another.Quote:
