Do you remember those hot summer days as a child when you would open your tacklebox only to discover that your prized plastic worms had melted into one giant discolored glob? Charlie Hartley, Elite Series pro and fastidious organizer, has experienced that scenario all too often. He has developed a strategy to keep his plastics in top form throughout the year.

Competing at the highest levels of the sport, Hartley explains that soft plastics storage and organization is a critical process that can't be overlooked. "I'd hate to weigh the amount of soft plastics I carry while I'm on the road fishing the Elite Series," he says. "I would guess that at any given time I've got around 300 pounds of soft plastics in my truck and my boat."
