A system and method of managing fishing tackle is disclosed wherein a number of soft pack fishing tackle units (A, B, C, D) which are customized and color coded for carrying specified fishing tackle. The individual soft pack units may be carried in a master bag (E). The soft pack units include a number of transparent pocket systems (F, G, H, I) which are customized for carrying specified fishing tackle. The pocket systems comprise customized arrangements of overlying pockets constructed from transparent plastic material in a manner that a maximum amount of fishing tackle may be stored in a highly visible arrangement. In a number of the soft pack units, an elongated pocket (24) is carried transverse to the rows of pocket systems. The elongated pocket has a longitudinal opening defined by overlapped edges of transparent plastic material having an elastic retaining band carried in the edges. The side pockets are customized for carrying containers of fishing tackle. The elastic overlapped edges provide for placement and removal of the containers in a quick and easy manner while preventing spilling of the containers when the soft pack units are unrolled and laid out for use. By providing the pocket systems in rows of individual pockets which overlie each other, maximum storage may be had and also the upper row of pockets may be utilized as a closure flap for the underlying row of pockets. In a particular embodiment, a number of overlying pockets (52, 56, 60, 66) are provided in which a number of the pockets have openings which open in opposite directions. This prevents treble hooks from becoming entangled with each other. Other customized pocket arrangements include center gussets (112) for accommodating bulk fishing tackle.
