Glad I'm not the only crazy one! I find filling the cell with a certain. color helps me keep track of which leaders have been re-tied. Here is my version:
-
Top down when tying Sand Diego Jam.

Its a 3700

It is currently 17 of those sleeves, which can fit two chatterbaits each well, more if you preferred. I dont have any trailers on them, but a guy could go that route too. It is not overly compressed, more sleeves coukd fit, this is 95% of the chatterbaits I own…

The plano bladed jig box seemed like a good idea, but only for some brands/types. This is my solution, after trying bags and other bag based boxes. Two fit in a lure sleeve, maybe more. Sharing in case someone else is looking for a solution.

Look into the IMX-Pro 841C CBR, it is the best baitcasting setup I have found for smaller shad raps. With Aldebaron 18 and 8 lb mono, works pretty darn well.

Very whippy rod, I am designating mine for vertical drop shot nose hooked rigging.

LOL, I guess something about my post was offputting. Just for others, I will update the setups I went with, and my progress in case others find themselves in a similar situation. I went to the Pacific Coast Sportfishing show hoping to fondle all the Loomis rods I was considering, and Shimano had a quadruple sized booth, but did not bring any of the rods I was hoping to check out. The sles manager was a great guy, who gave me excellent insight, but I was pretty disappointed... my thinking was they would bring everything, and then let us go to their dealers to buy ... live and learn. They did not bring a single conquest, or even an NRX= in MBR... I ended up ordering the Conquest 903c MBR. This is the current plan for the year: Loomis GCX 872C and Metanium Shallow Edition, braid to 8lb flouro (FG knot) for finesse bass fishing. NRX+ 894C JWR with Curado DC 150 8.5 braid to 15 lb flouro (FG knot) for jigs and worms/bottom contact Phenix XG-2 AND Curado DC 150 6.2 braid to 10 lb mono (FG knot) for crankbaits Loomis Conquest 803C MBR and Metanium DC 70 HG 12 lb Flouro for Chatter, spinner, all-around Calstar GX8 and Curado 200 DC Braid to 20 lb flouro for 1-4 ounce wake/glide/swimbaits. Hope to get my first bass over 3 lbs this year, will keep updating the journal for posterity, hahaha.

Hello and thanks in advance for your advice. I have a ton of experience fishing all kinds of saltwater, stripers, walleye, smallmouth, musky, and panfish. My weakest and least experienced species is Largemouth bass. I am trying to refine a quiver that will allow me to fish every technique I will use in this part of the country. I live in the west, and fish Lakes Mead, Mohave, Havsu, Arizona, some Utah and Cali. I have not seen lillypads since leaving Minnesota, so I don't really need a frog/punch setup, at least for now. I am thinking these 5 rods will be able to do everything I need to do pretty darn well: I have m/l dropshot setup, and I have a Calstar GX8 I love for my bigger baits, andI just got an NRX+ 894 JWR. I am thinking adding these two setups would round out the quiver: IMX Pro at 855 or 906 CBR NRX+.842C So my spin on the setup question is, what are the holes in this quiver, what can I NOT do well with these 5? Thank you again for any input.
