BASS fisherman Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 I am looking for a place to by peg board and the pegs to fit into them so I have a place to store bags of plastics, along with crankbaits and the like. Does anyone know of a place to pick up a peg board and the pegs? Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted January 27, 2008 Super User Posted January 27, 2008 Lowes, Home Depot, I'd bet even Wally World has some. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 27, 2008 Super User Posted January 27, 2008 Yes, that't right. Lowe's; Home Depot; Wal-Mart. You may try Staples and Office Max but I don't remember seeing them there. I have them in my garage to hand stuff on and the metal pegs come in all shapes and sizes. I was thinking of getting a small chest of draws or one of those white five-drawer storage conatiners and start putting my plastics and hard baits in them. I have to give it more thought. Quote
BASS fisherman Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 I was thinking that a craft store would have something like a pegboard, but I think Lowes or Home depot would have something more along the lines that Im looking for. I currently have one of those 6 drawer storage containers and that thing is jam packed. I'd need to buy another one, but I think the peg board would be much better to keep everything organized and neat. Quote

ABC123 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I am looking for a place to by peg board and the pegs to fit into them so I have a place to store bags of plastics, along with crankbaits and the like. Does anyone know of a place to pick up a peg board and the pegs? Any hardware on up to home store will have pegs and peg board. I love the stuff myself. Some tips: 1) Buy the pegs and other items you will be using on the ped board FIRST. Get matching items, some things are for 1/4 inch hole pegboard, some are for 1/8 inch. 2) Choose matching peg board. There are 2 different size peg boards. 1/8 inch holes, and 1/4 inch holes. It's best to try and have the hardware and pegboard match. 1/8 hardware will work in the 1/4 board, but it doesn't work the best. If you, somewhere down the road, find something 1/4 you want to use in the 1/8, you could drill those holes bigger to make it work. 3) If you don't have a finished wall, you can mount the board right to the studs. If you have a finished wall, frame the back side of the sheet with 1"X2" pine board. If you have a lot of weight, running strips down the middle helps too. On a 4X8 sheet, I frame the outside, and run one down the middle, the narrow width, then mount the sheet so it's 4 high and 8 feet wide, that way I don't have to bend over or reach up to get things. 4) Use screws to assemble, you may want to change it or move it some day. There is a good chance of damaging the board trying to get nails out. Quote
Willzx225 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Just a heads up - I was at Home Depot this weekend and they had a 75% off sale on home storage stuff. IE 4 drawer rubbermaid items, etc. I didn't check to see if they had peg board on sale though. I use the drawer system for my maps, plastics, and other items I buy in bulk and I really like it. I have 4 that I use in my system currently but I could go with more as my tackle grows (Thanks to the Bait Monkey of course, he upped my monthly quota) Quote
Willzx225 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I was just thinking about it. One of the Elite Series pros is sponsored by Aligator board. It is a Metal Pegboard system that seems very nice but I've heard its pretty pricy as well. Quote
BASS fisherman Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 I went to Lowes this morning and picked up the board and the pegs. Only cost me $33.00! Thanks for all the help. Once I get it all together, I'll try and post a few pics. Quote
HPBB Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 BASSFISHERMAN homedepot is the place to find it all. that is where I did, and you saw my set. the peg board is in the lumber side where the plywood is. Its sold in 4x8 sheets,(white and bronw colors) sometimes you can find some in culled lumber. If you know the size you need they can cut it there for you. get some 1x2 to make a frame on the back and screw it to a wall. all the pegs are found in the tools section. they have lots of specialty hooks that might make it easy to custonize your rack the way you need. You already saw mine but here it is again . Quote
guitarkid Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 nice set up . looks pretty good, by the way nice summit sticker, it's not bad until the "baitmonkey" pulls for car parts. Quote
moby bass Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Boy that's nice HPBB. I can't do that though :'( My wife thinks I have more than enough stuff now. If I start displaying it, she'll really have a fit. Quote
Korea_Bassin Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 That's a nice setup you have there. But if anyone else is having the same problem, I'd like to repost this link to help you out. http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/bassmaster/fishingtips/news/story?page=b_story_Organize_Tackle_2 Quote
