Ah! Understood...and it makes a ton of sense.
The tricky thing for me, is that I tend to go on 3-4 day runs to
different locations. That is the primary purpose of the bin. Road
trips. On these trips I do not fish with a specific plan and improvise
as I go....so often the trip will be a bit of a wildcard. When I fish
my home area, I just bring whats on my belt.
I guess I am playing roulette, with having a big loss if I get my car
broken into. At the same time, I don't want to be out buying some
plug that I forgot to pack at home. But you bring up a good point.
Perhaps I can chain the thing to the car somehow....at least make
it more difficult for the casual crook.
I have several surf bags that I use as storage, but they are a pain
to locate in the trunk with the ton of other crap...and when it
comes to quick glance identification and access ...I am often on the
losing end of the memory game.
