Read about this in a local outdoors magazine. Interesting and cheap organizer. Gonna try it out.
Nothing is crappier than the cheap plastic hook containers from Wal Mart.

Why didn't I think of that???
Someone posted that on here a few months ago. Pretty neat.

I never throw away any of those small zip bags that skirts come in. I even keep all the little containers that diabetic test strips come in and put jig heads and hooks in them. They are great for putting in your pocket. Have them for different jig or hook colors and sizes. Better than going to the tackle box every time. And since they are closed it provides protection from those nasty finger sticks.
I saw that same idea and it works. Much less of a chance of hooking yourself too.
Worst part about loose hooks is their ability to hook each other thru their own eye. Ima too old to deal with the aggravation. Some members here knows what I mean.
I have tried small zip lock bags, but they are too aggravating to open and close.
Worse comes to worse, you always have a safety pin to fix your depends if the need arises.
Being one of those old decrepit seniors I would stick myself with the so called safety pin or put 20 hooks in the palm of my hand all at one time.:Rofl
Searay posted about that a while back. That's what I did after seeing his post, did the same thing with swivels, etc. Works nicely.
I can see it now. Get the safety pin opened up just as the time some wake from the backside of you comes rolling in from a water rider. You drop all the hooks and start picking them up and the next thing poles start bowing from a stump hookup then you've got a mess on your hands and forget about the hooks. Then you get a foot itch so you take off your shoe, if wearing any, and step on about 10 hooks and they all now are implanted in your foot. But hey. You just smile and say. Could be worse. Crappie fishing - nuttin like it.
TOM, MOST OF THESE YOUNGUN ON HERE DO NOT KNOW HOW OR WHAT A SAFETY PEN WAS USE FOR
I HADN'T FINISH MY STATEMENT,HIT WRONG BUTTON:dono.I HAVE BEEN USING SAFETY PINS FOR TO PUT MY SNAPS ON,MUCH EASIER FOR ME TO FIND
Just make sure you remember to take the hooks off it first.....:yikesQuote:

I kep a few hooks stuck in Sponge Bob for use. Safety Pin would be for storage.
I posted it on here but I can't claim credit because I saw it elsewhere. I had my swivels done that way but they kept slipping between the lid and the compartment wall so I put the pins on a split ring and now they are easy to find and stay in place. I came up with that all by myself, by gum.Quote:
