Went by WalMart this evening and picked up a few things for the tackle box. I got some Senko style baits, a few of their $1 buzz baits, some flukes, spool of 12 lb Big Game line, some lizards and some hooks. Brought it all home to integrate into an already bulging tackle bag and I remembered that I had meant to look for a new box to store my hooks in. The one I've got has too few compartments and is just too small. I did a search on the topic of hook storage and followed a few links. (Some of them leading to here.) In my search though I ran across this box and I think it would be dandy for storing hooks. Problem is, Each compartment opens up individually. I've never seen one exactly like this anywhere. Does anyone know where I might find these? 

 

If I can't find them, I may just get one of the double sided boxes that WalMart sells. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Plano-Medium-Double-Sided-Organizer/16351085?action=product_interest&action_type=title&placement_id=WM_Home_IRS_Spot_1&strategy=PWVAV&visitor_id=82756402367&client_guid=d1bd319c-2b55-4491-b72f-5ad5fbad2f09&config_id=6&parent_item_id=16351085%2C33956368%2C20628109%2C31906376&guid=29762f93-8bd9-4470-947f-75a2f1f5f794&bucket_id=irsbucketdefault&findingMethod=p13n

I would try the pharmacy. That looks like more like a pill box.

I agree. It looks like a pill/medication organizer.

It looks like a bead organizer for making necklaces & bracelets my daughter has something just like it. You can get one's just like it at a craft store like Michael's.

This^^^^, Any craft store will have these as it is a bead organizer. I use the same thing for spinnerbait spacers and beads, clevis', and swivels.

I've found that storing hooks loose, even in boxes, is asking for it, eventually.  Sooner or later, you will drop of spill the box and the hooks go everywhere.  My current storage solution for hooks is to keep them in their respective packages and organized by category in separate clear plastic zipper bags that I found the the school supplies section at Walmart.

 

Weedless wacky hooks go in one bag, Texas rig hooks go in another bag, drop shot hooks - another bag,  Tx rig senko hooks - another bag and so on.  The bags are all plainly labeled (from & back)   They store relatively flat and take up a little less space than boxes do.

 

I take the organization one step further and store all hooks, regular weights, specialty weights, drop shot weights, and sundry other items in their own soft side tackle bag.  The bag is a different color than all my other soft side tackle bags so it is easy to identify when I am rummaging around in my boat or fishing truck.  Hope this helps, of course if I was a bank fisherman I'd have a different system, starting with not carrying 50+ different styles of hooks.

 

As has been mentioned previously in other tackle storage threads, there isn't any end to how nuts you can go with it.  Find something that works for you and go with it until you find something better - and there is always something better out there.

Or just use a paperclip or something like that to hold all the hooks together
