I have toyed around with several different storage bins for my vehicles over the years. The thing I always end up back at is that the more gear I place in an easy-to-move bin, the easier it is for a would-be thief to steal all my stuff in one neat package. While I used to travel with a bin similar to the one shown there in my truck at all times "just in case", I now only travel with a small back-up surf bag of extra gear. I figure if I ever get broken into I will only lose a small piece of my gear.
However, for home storage of my gear I use a commercial fish tote with cut-up plastic drain pipes to hold the lures.
