Fishing Gear Organization

I love the idea of checklists. Ohb - I too love the lancer jigs, only jig I use. Btw - he makes them bigger but they aren't as cheap as the ones you got from me.

I use a checklist for the kayak and clothing, not for my fishing gear, e.g., kayak, mirage drive, rod holder, FF/GPS, PFD, VHF, dry suit, etc.

Like others during the seasons I have my terminal tackle organized by type of fishing in Plano waterproof boxes.  Off season (winter) everything gets collected into type of gear, sinkers, swivels, soft plastic, buzz bombs, flashers, hooks, leadheads, etc.  This is so I can see what holes need to be filled from gear lost. 

Much like others, my tackle is organized into trays, Hobie gear buckets. As to other gear, it's all separate but put it all into a big Rubbermaid tub or old Ikea bag. I've copied what a friend on NCKA, Tote, started. He's made small check lists of every type of fishing he does. They're laminated and a grommet put through the top and they hang on a hook in the man cave. So on the night before you look through the lists, grab the one that applies, and put gear in the truck while checking it off with a dry erase pen. From tackle, to dry suits, to accessories, it's all in there. If you add something new to your list of gear for a particular type of fishing it can always be added with a Sharpie pen.

I have laminated checklists and a dry erase marker too.  Not because i am organized,  but because I have ADD.   

When I use the checklist i don't forget things.

Craig. Go put "Paddle" on the list.
