You already said it - reduce what you carry. I can't see any need to carry a tackle box anywhere 'cept on a boat or in your truck.
Get a good plug bag and put in what you need. Get a camel back or a canteen for your water. Bring one rod and sapre spool or reel and consolidate your eels into somehitng which allows you to work a beach.
I have been very negligent on getting the last bit of consolidation down but you can't effectively work an area if you need to go back every few casts to move your tackle box, cooler, rods and spikes, lunch pail, and 5 gallon buckets.
You really want everything with you so as you work the shorline you just move as needed and fish instead of chasing gear....
