Need a new jig box

[sticknstring]

I've been using the nice little clear storage box on the Vex unit but all my jigs get stuck together and it's hard to find what you want fast. And if a little moisture gets in there - everything rusts together. I'd like a bifold wallet style with foam or sleeves on each side that I can arrange my jigs on. I was checking out the Thorne sight and noticed a Rose Creek Ice jig box that looked to my liking... anyone try that baby out?

Other suggestions?

Yea actually I just picked it up! Its really nice for organizing small jigs. keyword: small, It does allow a little bit of moisture in. and there isn't any compartments for, clippers, jigging spoons, bobbers, ect.

But all in all I like it for all my panfish jigs

I have used the Rose Creek box and it works well and can hold alot of jigs.

Just picked up a Rose Creek box yesterday at Thorne. I am super impressed. Now I just need to get back and pick up about 2-3 more to hold the rest of my jigs!

I wanted a Bug Luggage, but Cabela's was out, but Matt Johnson at Thorne said the Rose Creek box will actually hold jigs better than the Bug Luggage and doesn't cost as much.

Nice boxes and a Minnesota company.

After going round & round & round on tackle storage solutions, I have settled on 3 methods that work very well.

1- Panfish Jigs. All my little panfish jigs go in a Rose Creek Box. I have the old Fox Box, Bug Luggage, and now Rose Creek and they all work well. The Rose Creek boxes have little fingers on the lure holders which really grip your hooks. The Rose Creek boxes are much less expensive than the other two as well. Tip of the hat goes to the Rose Creek box.

2- Jigging Spoons. Most of my 1/8oz - 1/4oz spoons go into hard plastic fly boxes with the wavy foam inserts. Cabelas sells them, Gander sells them. I can get approximately 16 spoons in each box and I have them organized by brand & style. I'm sort of picky about this. Treble hooks don't tangle, paint doesn't chip, and lures don't rust. This is a great way to protect expensive tackle.

3- Other. Other includes larger jigging spoons, swimbaits, larger jigs, split shot, swivels, etc. I use Today's Tackle Tackle Pouches to organize lures in my "other" category and then arrange them in plastic Plano trays.

I have a couple different soft sided tackle bags that my tackle goes into and its pretty much divided by species. I have my panfish bag and my walleye bag. The panfish bag gets the Rose Creek boxes along with small Plano trays which contain my plastics. The walleye bag gets everything else.

Tom, or Chris... what size is the Polar box? How many lures and does it in tackle bags easy, for instance how size wise does it compare to a 3600 series tray. Thanks.

The size of the Rose Creek box is approximately 6" x 3-3/4" x 1" deep.

The box has 120 hook keepers in it so you can store 120 small panfish lures.

If I'm really hole hopping around panfishing, I'll just put a couple of these boxes in my jacket pockets and I have more tackle than I'll ever need right on me to panfish. Toss in some Tackle Pouches loaded with plastics and a bait puck with Eurolarvae and you are set to go!

I was set on buying the Bug Luggage until I saw the Rose Creek boxes first hand. The hook holders are great, even on the size #2 & #3 Fiskas Wolfram jigs.

I went to Walmart and bought one of those smaller plastic storage boxes. one that is about 24" long 12" wide and about 8" deep.

I then went and picked up 3 plano clear tackle boxes like you switch in and out of your summer tackle box. I also went and picked up 4 of the multi-compartment tubalr jars, i sorta my tackle into each box and the compartments of each jar.

Walleye jiging lures, , walleye jigs, Crappies Jigs, Bobber stops, bobbers..ETC and place them all in that bib plastic box. whats nice is it keeps everything organized, and together. i keep it in my Otter lodge.

It's really ez to get into, and ez to see everything. Really nice for mobilty as well.
