was just wondering how you guys store your plastics. do you put it all in a plano or the like box? Or do you leave in the original packaging? just wondering what would be the best way to organize. And what ways have you guys come up with to organize tackle.

Multiple soft sided cooler/lunch box (most are 6-pack size) filled with original package. Each cooler is filled with similar styled baits.
I tend to leave them in the original bag because I have had some foul my tackle box in the distant past. Maybe they are made better these days? The ones I left in the box melted and stuck to everything making a nasty mess. I have several smaller plano boxes in my tackle box to store like items like plastics and hooks and sinkers and crankin lures.
I have most in their original packages in a soft sided tackle bag. The soft side will hold a few Plano/Flambeau boxes and I have some baits in there too. Then there are the ones I have in paper bags under the boat seat. Oh yea, I have some in my rain suit pockets. The secret ones go in a BIG Zip Lock bag behind the couch in the camper. Nobody will ever find them there! Not even me!
Water proof Plano boxes also.
The Plano waterproof boxes. I am changing all of the regular boxes over to the waterproof ones.
Plano 3730 is deeper than the regular 3700. I like those because I usually by mid south tubes by the hundred pack and there's plenty of room to keep them all in and toss the bags away
I paint my tops of the Plano boxes with white spray paint for plastic. Helps keep the fadeing and heat down when laying in the boat.
