I have the Falcon Terminal tackle organizer that I really like. BUT I was having trouble with some of the smaller stuff, small hooks, tootpicks, ... shifting compartments. I found some foam rubber shelf liner at Lowes for fairly cheap. I cut a piece that fit the lid exactly and glued it to the lid. This pretty well seals each compartment and stopped the shifting of the smaller stuff. It would probably work the same on a Plano 3600/3700 box and is fairly cheap. Just cut the piece then test to be sure you can close and latch the lid before gluing it in. After it has been in for a while it forms grooves where the dividers are so it gets easier to close.

This is a great tip, I have the same problem with my Parasite Clips shifting into compartments and mixing with hooks. Looks like I'll be going shopping........thanks for sharing

Wow! Great idea, I just recently got rid of the box that I kept my hooks and some sinkers and split shot. Just because of what you mentioned. Could have saved some money!

It probably helps it float better also.

Have you had any trouble with the foam rubber holding moisture. Just wondering if it would be detrimental if it got wet - creating rust within.

I have had no rust problems, BUT I live in west Texas where normally high humidity is 15%. This year however we have already more than doubled our annual rainfall, trypical humidity been around 45% and no problems. Don't think the liner will hold any more moisture unless you leave/have it out in the rain. Then if you do, just open it when you get in to air out. If it's in the rain without the liner, you probably need to open it to air out any way. Bottom line, if you are in an extremely humid area or in rain, air you boxes out if they get damp, with or without liner.

I had that problem when I had the Plano 737 Tackle Box with the small storage boxes and I just used Duck Tape the top of the cover on the inside. I recently upgraded to the Bass Pro Extreme Qualifier 370 Tackle Tote, and the storage boxes are pretty much Plano 3700. I haven't had any trouble with hooks and other smaller tackle some how getting into other carpartments. I will have to wait to see if the heat might open a gap.
