Last year, I found a satchel to use as a "soft" tackle box.  It is just the right size to hold the medium size tackle trays, and I can fitin  at least four of them--with some extra stuff on top and in the side, front and rear pockets.

Earlier this season, I found a similar bag for Small Fry and got her a couple of the appropriately sized trays.
