Geez never mind the end of the season. That's what mine looks like twenty minutes after I get to my honey hole. I'm sure it's gremlins cause I turn my back and it looks like a grenade went off in it every trip.

what you have to do is keep a max of 3 lures to a three tray tackle box.

Half the time I just use one of those 50L blue rubbermaid bins.
Just dont move your hand too quick when you're digging around in there.

thats so funny and so true. no matter how hard you try to keep organized it always gets jumbled up.
worst of all is forgetting or "losing" some live or frozen bait in the jumble and 2 weeks later it is rotting and stinking.
on the other hand, i know some anglers whose tackle box always looks like the 2nd pic, but they seem happy enough.

only one tackle box!!!????
How do yo fish with so few lures? And where are the bent and rusty lures?
Where are the sinkers, the leaders, the soft baits, the jigs, the bobbers, the , , , , , , , , ,
Doesn't every fisherman have three of more sizes of everything?
Geez I feel like a slob with my suitcase sized tackle box jammed full of twisted leaders and rusty spoons. Not to mention the bailing bucket half full of jigs and Rapala's, knotted line and broken bobbers.
And now! and now there over half of my spoons and lures have no hooks on them. I had to take off all the hooks with barbs so some gung-ho warden wouldn't pack me off to jail.
Yeah I could have pinched the barbs but where those lures get used barbs are legal and it made no sense to pinch the barbs so I could leave the hooks on, if I would have to remove them later to install barbed hooks when I wanted to use those hooks.
I know, I should have just left those lures at home. But then I'd be carrying an empty tackle box, well nearly empty.
And one never knows when one might need that ten inch rapala or that 6 oz jig. Sure there aren't a lot of 30 lb Pike in the Grayling steams out west, but there might be one that got dropped out there by a water bomber.
That's the thing about fishing, one just never knows.

And the best part. Is that you have way to much gear. I know I do. And end up using one hook all trip.

We also always seem to need to get more all the time always looking for that extra leverage to increase our odds in landing more or the one particular fish you've been trying for.

No ..... it's not just you ....
I have converted both my live wells into large tackle storage lockers.
I find using the plastic trays helps me organize a little ......
I still keep my "other" specialty gear (salmon, trout or other) gear in separate plano trays so I can just switch them out for the next trip.
But yeah .... it still gets messy

I like organizing mine the night before a trip out to the lake.. If it didn't get messy I wouldn't be able to do that!

Mrs. Omega takes tackle organization to a new extreme.
She has named each and every lure that she owns and using her label maker has a defined and labelled home for each piece of her terminal tackle.
My tackle box is an old daypack. I reach in very gingerly

For the majority of my "stuff" I use the plano boxes as well. Probably 95% of my fishing is for walleye, and I use various rigs or jigs for the majority of my walleye fishing. Rigs are pretty easy to store, I can hold about 100 in one plano box.
I do have cranks and spoons but do not use them to much, compared to the rigs. Over the years controlled depth fishing for walleye has worked well for me, and that can be difficult to achieve with spoons and cranks unless you spend a lot of hours experimenting with them.
With the exception of slip-bobber fishing most of my presentations are from the bottom up, rather than top down, (cranks, spoons) as controlling the depth off bottom, and having the ability to repeat it easily, have worked well for me.
I have other plano boxes for lake trout and sturgeon fishing.
Like a said, not a big crankbait user, but I have three or four of these for cranks
A few of these for blades, beads, terminal tackle, bobbers, etc.
When I have these all full, there is about a 100 rigs or so here. This is definitely my go-to gear for walleye

Ever heard the expression " A clean desk is the sign of a sick mind " ? Same goes for a tackle box . What fun would it be if you could just reach in and find what you need immediately ?

I do like to keep my tackle in a relatively orderly condition, and that may be the sign of sick mind.....LOL. I fished tournaments for over twenty years and that is when I picked up the "habit" of having things where I could find them.
Without exception it seemed whenever I would loose a rig, or blade whatever is either when the bite just turned on, or about 3 foot swells blew up. I was always the one controlling the boat, so neither of the scenarios I mentioned were a good time to be looking for "stuff".
