Well i think we should amuse ourselves with ways to keep the truck organized and not turning into a jumbled pile of traps, so how do y'all keep your traps in order?

I use totes, my truck is always well organized the first day. I find it gets tougher as the season wears on. I have a wire rack as high as the top of the box so I can get 2 layers with a taller topper with side doors.

Milk crates and totes and I use a snake hook to maneuver them. And a 6 inch diameter 8 foot long piece of PVC pipe to keep the 10 foot drowning rods In order

Great minds think alike lol. I use milk crates an PVC pipe for t-bar stakes. My main issue is keeping cable stakes, cable drowners and snares straight.

Do you have a garage with a lockable door? If so park truck there and lock the door.
Any use of truck will involve disorder, simply driving it on the roads will shift and bounce things.

On the other hand if things are randomly heaved into the truck and used normally, after a week the stuff you don't need to haul will be on the bottom and can be removed and disposed of, until the truck is orderly and empty.

Wrap up the BG when the springs are pre set. With the tag end of the cable drag It through the spring eye to hold It In place. When ready to use them just drop the BG and It unwinds like a yo yo.
