As smooth said those are the right kind but for the amount of stuff you have I'd look for the ones that hold the big 1500 yard spools, see below

PLANO 1085 XL LINE SPOOL STORAGE BOX - Sporting Directory - Australian Sporting and recreation shopping


Course ya gotta find some of the empty spools

Ok I like the idea but have a question when you use it to make the jigs do you leave it in the box or cut a strand off? And if you have extra left after you make the jig what do you do w/ it.

Thanks,
AC

I cut a strand off. It takes a piece about 3'' long or my index finger to tie each jig. I just tied four jigs and cut a strand long enough for the four and only had a piece 3/4'' wasted. I only tie for myself so I'm not worried if there is a little waste.

when u drilled the holes did you have any problems with the plastic box wanting to crack? now if there was just a way to keep your marabou and buck tails and stuff like that orginized thats the only bad part about tying is just having lots of materials that are un orgnized im using a 3 drawer toat at the moment to keep all my tying materials and stuff in

I didn't have any trouble but I have drilled in plastic before. You need a sharp bit and you have to go slow. If you get your bit hot it will try to melt the plastic. If the plastic is old it tends to crack also.
