Storing Tackle and Taking care of your equipment

[jooleyen]

Hi all.

What do you use to store your tackle? Do you use specific boxes for a certain type of bait? I was thinking about getting a crankbait box. I only have five crankbaits and they take up all of the space in a box, but if I had a crankbait box, they wouldn't even take up 1/4 of the box.

I know it gets to the point where you can't fit nearly all of your tackle in one tackle bag. When this happens do you find out what you are going to use prior to fishing, and then only take that stuff?

How do you take care of your rods and reels on a monthly/weekly basis?

I notice that if I let three feet of line out, and I sway the line back and forth, it makes a tick tick noise, because there is a small dent on my rod guide. I think that's what I get for purchasing a cheap rod.

I have a crankbait that broke after hitting some logs. http://www.flickr.com/photos/15156139@N00/321512092/

Would you bother to fix it?

Thanks all and sorry for the length of the post.
