Jig storage

[whippingpost]

Just wondering what folks use to store jigs. Plano tackle boxes are worthless because the little jigs just slip over or under the dividers.

Check out this sweetheart of a jig box. they are one of ice leaders sponsors.

One can also purchase these jig boxes from Thorne Bros.

I have had good luck with the Rose Creek boxes. Thorne Brothers handles them.

Stick them into a cork first, or one of those foam bobbers.

Tackle Pouches from Today's Tackle also work good. Thats how I store all my ice fishing jigs. You can buy them from the websites store. http://todaystackle.com/tacklepouch.html

I use an old VHS tape case (the slide lock type) with a thin layer of foam attached to the each side of the inside with double stick tape. I just hook the jigs on the foam. When the case is shut, it is a snug fit so no rattling around of jigs. This case has worked very well for me over the years. A person should be able to find some of these old tape cases with a little searching.

I've had good luck with the "waterproof" type of plano boxes. Small enough for ice jigs and if you drop it in the snow the snow won't get into the box.

I was in the same position a while back, looking for a good plastic box that will hold jigs and not allow them to migrate. I have a small hard plastic box with a flip lid that works great for the most common used lures, it has a little foam pad in it, but for bringing the rest of the arsenal, such as sinkers, small spro swivels, bobbers, bobber stops, beads, and the rest of the jigs and plastics I have found the solution. Falcon Tackel Organizer FTO-502. It is the crappie jig organizer and I love it so far. I just picked it up last Friday at Cabelas as I can't find it at any other store locally. It will run 10 bucks, but has 4 latches and the dividers are not movable, no more jig and bead migration. I hated opening the old plano to find everything in a different compartment than where it started. After 150 miles in the truck, running around on the ice for 2 days, moving and throwing the box in the back of the trap, not a single piece out of place.

Check it out, great box.

I use a "craft bag" that is designed to hold beads and such!

Got it at FF. Has 5 trays that have at least 16 different compartments per tray that open individually and lock. They are stored in a padded nylon case with shoulder removable shoulder strap or carry handle that has several pockets to store bobber,tools etc..... I label the tray as to what is in it and can grab the right tray at a glance!

this is exactly what I use for flies, streamers and ice fishing jigs. works very very well. It does not work as well for larger baits with treble hooks (pimples, buck-shots, varmints, etc) as the tend to flop around a get tangled up.

Cheers!

I bought a $ 6 pistol case at Joes. It had foam on both sides / so I added a middle layer with some packaging material - double sticky taped the original foam to the case and whala - I store pimples and spoons on one side and jigs on another - I have one for walleye and one for pan fish. Now I just need to get one for Lakers!

Today's Tackle Tackle Pouches are the best thing that has come along in quite awhile for jig storage. Throw your lures in the Tackle Pouches, and put the pouches in standard size Plano trays and you are good to go. Probably the best thing around for spoons and swimbaits.

My panfish tackle, anything smaller than a size 6, goes into my Rose Creek Fly Box. I've got the Fox Box, Bug Luggage, and now Rose Creek and they all work great.

I used to keep everything in little plastic bags. I've changed that since getting small plano plastic lure boxes. I've always wanted some fly boxes but when looking at prices of $15 and up for the nice ones, I'm gonna have to stick to the $2-$5 lure boxes. Maybe eventually I'll get the fly boxes.
