Under Seat Lure Holders

[cjac]

In my winter boredom I've been trying to come up with an under seat lure holder, to avoid the lure mess on the floor (after a day's fishing when a fish finally hits) at the most inopportunitive time. Similar products are marketed, but seem "pricy" for what they are....essentially a half dozen or so pieces of 12 to 14 inch plastic tubes glued together.

I've tried craft stores, hardware stores, office supply, shipping companies, even fabric stores (seeing what the rolls of fabric come in on), all to no avail.

Does anyone know of a source for clear 2 to 3 inch diameter plastic tubing? Closest I've come is PVC in 3 inch, but enough to cut to make a seat post circle is almost a push, and it's pretty thick still and not see thru. I have received lures from companies that package lures in similar tubing, so I assume it exists......

Suggestions? If someone knows a trick with a coffee can I'm all fot it!

Thanks, Chris

One thing that would work for smaller diameter lures or bucktails is tubes that fluorescent lights come in. Most hardware stores will have them. But any bigger lure won't work, I think they are only a little over an inch in diameter.

I did some looking on the web a year or two back to try and do the same thing. What I found then was alot of places had tubing. What they wanted at the time was for you to buy in bulk. I think the least amount I could buy was 40' or so. Well, I didn't need that much.

If you find a place that will sell it in smaller numbers, please post it on here, I'm sure others besides me would like to know.

Funny that you say that about the lights.....it was putting away X-mas ornaments that made me think of it! I'll keep looking and let y'all know.

Tennis Ball cans in a milk crate. You can fit 16 cannisters in a milk crate perfectly.

This may or may not be the kind of thing that you're looking for, but I've used a plastic plant pot that works great to hold my lures. I found a decent sized on that would accomidate my 8"+ lures (I keep the bigger stuff stored away, but you could get a bigger pot to do this with larger lures). I notched out the bottom to fit my release tab at the bottom of the pedistal. I put velco on the bottom of the pot and on the top of the base for the seat. This keeps the whole thing from tipping over when in transit. Finally, I notched out a couple dozen spots to hang the back hooks of the lures on. This keeps them from working their way around the container and getting all balled up on one spot. It might sound corny, but it works great. If anyone is interested I can take a few pics and post them. If it's too goofy sounding I'll just keep it to myself!
