-Keep small magnets in the compartments of your tackle box where you keep loose hooks, swivels, split rings, etc., etc. It'll save you from a big mess to clean up if you happen to tip it over or accidentally drop it.

-If your crank baits don't dive to your desired depth try rigging them up drop shot style. Sounds silly but it works! It also allows you to retrieve slower if need be and it'll keep your line off the bottom preventing it from getting all banged up on the rocks.

-For the shore fishermen... Keep a fish tank thermometer in your tackle box. Knowing the water temp can help you decide how and where to fish. This is especially useful in the spring and fall.

-If you have some favorite soft plastics buy them in bulk online.

-Make marks on your rod for a quick way to measure fish.
