Storage Box Tip


Many of us have and use clear storage boxes. One tip I learned some years ago was to use a permeant mark to label the top side of storage boxes which are stored upright in my tackle bag. This made it easier to grab the box of baits I needed a breeze. Yesterday while placing my Lazyman Hooks order into a clear storage box, I couldn't help to notice how closely the 1/8 and 3/16 oz weights looked on the hooks. We all know the importance of how weight and hook size can play so to help myself grab the right Lazyman Hook I cut a piece of the label off the package which had the weight and hook size on it. Since I have a habit of forgetting my reading glasses on shore, I used a permanent  marker and wrote the weight and hook size larger on label also. Then I wrote the weight size and hook size on the other side of the label for when I open up the box I can rest assure that I am grabbing the right one. I then taped the labels to the inside of the box to help prevent them from getting wet and coming off. Last year ReelBait came out with their Tournament Series Flasher Jigs. These jigs come with a strong razor sharp Gamakatu Hook. Since I also have the original Flasher Jigs, I taped the Tournament Series Label to my clear storage box that have these ones in it. This way I can rest assure I don't grab the wrong Flasher Jig box on tournament day.  If you haven't already marked your clear storage boxes be sure to pick up a permanent mark the next time you're out shopping and Label your clear boxes for quick reference the next your on the water. Time on the water precious, don't waste it looking for that storage box full off baits you need.

The little Silica Gel packs you find in ahoe boxes, backpacks, etc., are great for the tackle boxes as well since they pull the moisture out, creating less worry about rusted hooks and things
