....As Sam so rightly says, horses for courses.
Having started fishing 50-odd years ago with a 'gas-mask' shoulder bag and a couple of tins, bought a folding camping stool which hung on the straps of it - I progressed to a wicker basket (Xmas present) for many years, then the biggest Leeda box available - good way to permanently deform your shoulders! - the old shoulder bag became a fly-fishing bag until it fell apart when it was replaced with a slightly larger shoulder bag which is just about falling apart now (as a drop-shotting and lure bag). Then moved to a rucksack with a built-in chair - now elevated/relegated to fly-fishing use - it works well on rivers or still-waters when you want to keep your profile down!
Given-up on the whole big Tackle Box thing - just use it for storage now - I use a rover-type chair and large bag mostly for rivers, and a director-style chair with lots of pockets for still-water 'sessions' plus sundry bags/buckets, etc.
The point is - as your fishing changes, your needs change too, and what was good for the coarse-fishing you once did - may well be just the thing for the fly/lure/carp fishing you now do!
At least that's my excuse to SWMBO for never throwing anything away!
mg:
If I was starting from scratch now - I'd probably start with a multi-pocketed waist-coat, get most/all the tackle in that in v.little boxes - and then think "just what do I need a box for?" - floats, stops, baiting needle - will all go in a long thinnish stiff box that'll fit in a long trouser-leg pocket.
Don't lumber yourself down unneccessarily!
Tight Lines!
