Mid-MO Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Anyone got any good ideas/ways of storing hooks, sinkers, etc? I've currently got all mine in a Plano clear plastic box - most kept in the original packaging. They fit - but not real well. I've got bags laid on top of bags. I know that someone is making a box with weight and hook size engraved in the bottom. Anyone got a better idea? Quote

Super User Jig Man Posted June 13, 2007 Super User Posted June 13, 2007 I keep mine in Plano boxes but it takes 3 of them and I don't use any plastic bags. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted June 13, 2007 Super User Posted June 13, 2007 The Falcon FTO hook and sinker box isn't bad. I tried using a BPS 3700 box, but the sliding dividers wouldn't stay in place and I was always having hooks mixing up. The only knock on the Falcon boxes is their size. Bigger than a 3600, smaller than a 3700. Quote
skeeterman24 Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 i use to use the plano boxes but hooks would rust in there eventually, moisture always seems to find a way in. Now I have them all in a plastic bag with smaller individual bags inside labeled by hook size and inside of the smaller bags i have them all in thier origional packaging so i know exactly what each one is. You won't have any issues with rust this way either. Quote
TxBuddha Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 I just bought one of the Falcon boxes mentioned and like it so far. You will have to take everything out of the bags but that isn't an issue for me at least with the sizes/weights molded into the box. The Falcon boxes are an odd size compared to the Plano's but that will eventually give me a reason to buy the Falcon bag too Quote
cpvenom Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 i use to use the plano boxes but hooks would rust in there eventually, moisture always seems to find a way in. Find some silica gel, or any other desicant. I'm talking about the little packs you find in items like beef jerky that say "do not eat". These absorb moisture and keep things nice and dry. I have about 20-30 from medicine bottles and beef jerky. Quote
Garnet Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 I use 90ml Urine sample bottles and those 2 high Plano boxes. These bottles fit perfect. And seal tight no rust. Garnet Quote
Super User FishTank Posted June 13, 2007 Super User Posted June 13, 2007 I keep mine in the original packages. I place them on key chain rings with a package of silica gel. Quote
Brad_Coovert Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 I have three Plano "waterproof" storage boxes in the boat, one for hooks, one for jigheads and one for weights. Brad Quote
