I'm in the process of becoming more space efficient. The problem with with
using tackle boxes is that electronic parts are smaller than most fishing
lures, so the contents get scrambled when you move the box around. I
recently bought a parts organizer from McMaster-Carr that's much better.
It's a simple design with a clear lid on each side. I'm using that with an
inexpensive plastic toolbox for larger parts, and an old suitcase for
tubes. I also have dozens of plastic bags from some company in Texas :)
Another way is to use paper envelopes with an index card cabinet.
