It's personal preference and it seems to be working for you. I just like to catch so I match the gear to the situation. I f I am in a known big fish local ( not you Larry) I use big stuff and tackle that will handle it. Ocassionally you will encounter fish that outsize your particular set up(s) that day but that makes it all the more memorable and on the other hand there are days when you are in a large fish local and all that eats your 8" swimming plug are twinkies.
In know people that do just as you are and are quite happy with it so I guess whatever floats your boat. The main thing is your enjoying your self right? I went to a three tube plug bag this year and I am loving it, of course I still stuff way too many plugs in it but my back and shoulders are really happy. It loops onto my wader belt. No more ten pounds of plugs in an overstuffed bag that 90% of them will never get used.
Having a plan or a strategy is really common sense approach and it will pay dividends in the long run. Keep at it!
