I use Gladware, too; it's great for outsized elements, and it's not as
cumbersome as tackle boxes. I especially like using Gladware for stuff I have
sorted by type and not color, as then I can dump the Gladware container into a
larger box to rifle through it for the color I want. Then the box dumps easily
back into the Gladware.
