[cool][#0000ff]I would have been dead a long time ago if I had tried to keep track of everything with the "biblical system" (seek and ye shall find). I have multiple boxes for each of several different styles of flies, jigs, spinners, spoons, hooks, beads, lure parts, rod building components, etc. Once I finish pouring, painting and otherwise finishing a lure, I put in in the proper place and keep track of inventory.

[#0000ff]I use permanent markers to label the compartmented boxes on all sides, for easy reading at any angle. And then I keep them sorted by classification, size, color, etc. As those who have been to my tackletorium will verify, There is nothing I cannot put my hands on quickly whenever a question comes up or they want to see or buy something.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]It takes many hours to set up such a system. And you periodically have to reorganize as you expand your horizons. But, it makes it so much simpler to keep track of what you have and to put together a trip when you need to gather specific items.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]A big part of my working career involved time management and organization so I had some good experience in setting up systems.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Doesn't give me any more excuses for buying stuff but it helps me keep track of it so I don't double up as often...or run out just when I need it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Sounds like you are laying the foundation for a sytem. Keep on keepin' on.[/#0000ff]
