Storing rippin raps in tackle box

Recommended Posts

I am looking for ideas to store lipless crank baits in a box without getting them tangled together and to also protect them. We run a couple trays each in the winter and they are getting so beat up when bouncing around in the ranger and sled. Is there a good way to store them with out letting them get tangled up and chipping the paint off them?

 

Thanks

I used some foam I had laying around and cut them into squares that fit in the slots of my tackle box.  Made them so basically touch both the lid and the foam, so they can't bounce all around.  I can now shake my tackle box and all you hear is the rattles from all of them.  Takes time, but should protect them all.

That crank caddie looks great for the boat but wont alleviate the scuffing and rubbing from bouncing across the frozen tundra.  I have been averaging 6-700 miles per year on lotw and every lure I had would get trashed and look like it had been in a rock tumbler for a couple hours.  So I have most of my ice tackle inside smaller fly fishing cases with the closed cell foam for sticking the hooks into and a sheet of softer open cell foam added in so that it squishes against all of the lures when I shut the case.  The multi hook lures like lipless cranks need to have both trebles stuck into the closed cell foam so they don't stick to the open cell foam when opening the case.  Now my lures that don't get destroyed by fish stay shiny and new and ready for action!

That's a good idea! I should do something like that with my Spoons as they turn into a tangled mess not to mention rattling around against other spoons isn't exactly great for the paint.
