Killin Time

With high water and more rain and not being able to fish I've been working on the boat cleaning equipment and organizing tackle , the box I used to store my hooks looked like it had all been dumped out and thrown back in in hand fulls, I used bobby pins to organize the hooks which Arkansas Bowhunter shared sometime back and it works great so I thought I'd share it again with those who might have missed it and are looking for a way to straighten up your mess !!!!Attachment 225613Attachment 225614 much better I'd say !!! Thanks JW for the great idea !!!!

Lookin good!!! You guys are lucky you can still use lead shot!! I hate the tin ones!

Good idea. Am pretty sure those are called safety pins. Nor bobby pins

Bulk tubes and jigs , labeled and stored in Rubbermaid containers Attachment 225630

I like the rubbermaid containers. Got something like those but like yours better. Going to have to try the safety pin.

Looks good Greg ... Water will go down soon and we can get back to chasing Crappie!!!

I use that method also. Here is an enhancement I made for the swivels I store on safety pins.

Anytime glad to help anyone and pass along good tips.

Looks good Greg.

Great tips, thanks guys!

Thank you for the pictures. Those Rubbermaid containers are fantastic.

I like the containers and use them as well. I don't like the clear ones in the boat tho. They allow the sun to penetrate and fade certain brands of tubes if you leave them on the deck or out in the sun while fishing.

Greg, you get to keep your Man Card for not knowing the difference between Bobby pins, and safety pins! :Rofl

Safety pins are brilliant, thanks for the advice!

Greg, how do you keep all the plastics moist? I know mine dry out once I take them out of the packages.

Just google it and you will see different places where it can be ordered, I don't believe Bass Pro sells it but I may be wrong, Jann's Netcraft is like around $4 for 4oz a little goes along way!

I have been useing PAM cooking spray for years

I just read about mineral oil, anyone ever heard of using that? I have some in the cabinet.

From what I've read they say mineral oil will break down the plastics overtime, I've heard of a lot of different stuff being used , johnsons baby oil, WD40, Pam ,etc !!! I'm sticking with the stuff that the bait company's use , if it's works for them it good for me !!!

I have been using WD4O for over 35 years !!!!!

CC, that's a great idea with the safety pins. Do you have any problem with the pins rusting?You're gonna have me going through all my boxes for Cleaning. Thnx for the post!
