Peg Board Lure Storage

[Tizi]

How many use this method to store lures that are still in the package and are awaiting usage?  How does it work for you?  Pictures of your set up?

 

thanks for the help!

Great idea, but I just don't have the room.

I have a large pegboard in my mancave inside that I hang my spare baits, line, etc on. Been doing it that way for years and it's the best way I could find to organize things visually.

That's how I do it.  I often buy way more soft plastic than I need.  I hang them on my peg board until its time to refill something.  One half of the board is tools and the other is fishing gear stuff.  I have seen guys with tons more but for what I have, it works.

I think it will cut down on my spend too.  It should make it easier to see what I actually have before I purchase more.  Got to shake the monkey...

 

I am working on a design for a fishing gear storage cabinet/locker.  Pull out drawers:  fishing pole holders and peg board.  2 pole holders, 2 peg board.  Roughly 8’ tall x 2’ deep x 1’ wide.  And a stack of cabinets 8’ tall x 2’ deep x 2’ wide.

I just keep an inventory of all my stuff in Excel. Separate page for purchases/wishlists.

I am not a fan of things hanging out like that.  I use storage totes with boxes on the inside usually but some are just thrown in there and I can fit a lot in each one to maximize space.  I know where to look to see what i need when the time comes.

I have poles, reels, line type in Excel.

 

I could put the lures

and terminal tackle in too, it’s hundreds of lines.  Lots of details.

One page is rods/reels/line - runs 25 lines

One page is lures/plastics/teminal tackle - runs almost 250 lines

That sounds about right.  I still need a place to store it all.  My wife isn’t happy that it takes up a large portion of a walk in closet’s space.  I have it all in bins, tackle bags, 3600 planos, and boat bags.  I should post a pic.

 

Our three car detached garage is the ultimate solution.  In a custom cabinet.

i have my hard baits on a separate board.

I use a pegboard for hard baits and line. I have far too many plastics to use pegboards though. I have the stackable storage drawers for my plastics. Plastics on pegs are heavy if the peg is very long, and if you want a package towards the back, you're stuck either ripping the back off (and probably knocking a few things off other pegs in the process), or taking most everything off the peg in front of it and then putting it all back on. The drawers are easy to see what all I have and pull out what I need quickly.

This 

I only place replacement baits on the board. When I remove the last bait, or package of plastics, it’s time to purchase more. Any ‘trial’ baits go directly into my tackle box.  If they prove useful, they get a spot on the board.

Not sure how to get pic aligned...

In my fishing shed, pegboard is used to store tools and stuff around my fishing shed work table.  I have roughly 8 feet of peg board, waist height & up.   Storing soft plastics would get too dusty too quick.  I like using the plastic flip top shoe boxes, mostly because they keep dust away from the packaging.   I use light colored duct tape to make labels for the boxes because paper stick on labels tend to peel after a few months and duct tape doesn't so much.

 

To make the purchase less painful, I used to buy one or two of the boxes every time I went to Walmart, at 4 bucks plus change each time I really didn't feel it cost wise.  These days that doesn't work, mostly because I don't get that much time to sort plastics and it bugs me to run out of plastic boxes, so, I order them through Home Depot or Walmart or Amazon by the case, a dozen to the case, last time cost was around $2.12 each with free shipping.

 

Shelving is an additional cost, I'm going to have to get some more shelves for the north side of my fishing shed, just to spread out the collection a little more and make it easier to access.  I'm planning some sort of semi-retirement in 3 or 4 years, hopefully I can put a 20 or 30 foot extension on my fishing shed before that happens.

 

Just a word of advice to anyone who is considering building a fishing shed - build as big as you can afford and try to make as few compromises as possible.  My current available space would be much more usable if I had remembered to put a couple of additional wide doors on the side of the building.  It would have been extra expense at the time, but in hind site that would make the building much more usable and accessible.
