    Default Storing hair jigs question


    How do you store hair jigs so that they don't take a set or get the tail bent? The only way I can figure is to use a fly box. I would like to use the same size plano boxes for everything. Am I missing something simple here?

    I think fly boxes are the best way to store, since crappie jigs are just a heavily weighted streamer.

    Get some large diameter straws and cut a slit all the way through - put the eye up in the slit and slide them inside. Cut them to length.

    Most sizes of Plano boxes come with no dividers. Look up some polyethylene foam from packaging or a pool noodle and hot glue it in place and stick your jigs in. Done right it's inexpensive and works like a giant fly box.

    I like the straw idea, clever!
