I have collected quite a bit of heads, guards, and skirting. What do you use to store your materials in an orderly fashion?

All my stuff is in Ziploc bags by size and then again in a bigger bag by component. I keep everything in a small Rubbermaid tub under the bench.
I use a couple of those plastic nut and bolt organizers. Cheap to buy and many sizes available.
Cheapo 3700 boxes.
I store molding parts in small boxes on my self next to my tackle bench. I store tying materials in ziplocks. Then, the ziplocks are put in an old yellow plastic box that Humminbird used for their portable flashers, along with spare jigheads, vibrating jigheads, and spinnerbait frames, a spare vice, bobbin and thread, various bottles of nail polish, and some small pliers and wire. That way I can take it with me on a week long trip just in case I need to make some additional baits.

3700 for me but that Menards storage unit looks like it would work well also.

Thats because you didn't have enough stuff in it. Everything jig and spinnerbait related is in this. I bet you blame the dog too. lol

I use something similar for hardware, hooks, blades and such. 3700 boxes for skirt tabs that I will be using, and ziplocks for bulk skirt storage, transfering tabs to the 3700 as required

I keep one of these bags in the boat at all times. I’ve had to add dividers from other boxes because it doesn’t come with enough but I’ve probably got 60-70 colors of skirt material in the boxes along with all of the common heads I flip with in black, brown, green and white. Skirt collars, tying wire and tools stay in one side pouch, about 10 ziploc bags of casting jigs in different colors and sizes in the front and all of my living rubber and flashbou in the other pouch. I can build any jig I want on the water in less than 2 minutes.
Extra material and colors I don’t use much go in a cardboard box in the garage.
