I cut out pieces of 14th wood that will fit my tackle box spaces and glued foam from in old life vest on the wood. This is perfect for storing my lures I use the most in my tackle box. I cut up old pool noodles and place them on my rod handles. Now if a rod is knocked overboard it will not sink and be lost in the water. Just an idea folks.
I like, Thanks!
This might be a better photo. I sent the other from my phone. The wood and foam is removable so you can insert others if you like.

I will have to find some kip tail.
Question, do you take the pool noodle off when you are fishing with that rod? Seems like it would get in the way.
Your foam idea is cool. Very quiet. Nothing rattling around. It is like a GIANT fly box.
I cast with the pool noodle on. It does not hinder the cast at all.Quote:

Ship, that's very neat and clean and makes perfectly good sense to me. I'm sure I'm a bit OCD when it comes to being organized and (hopefully) staying organized. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you my friend. It is now so much easier to fine the soft plastic or jig that I need along with my basic rigging stuff. Saves tackle box space storage also. Be sure and pinch the barbs down before inserting them in the material.Quote:

Also my son had trouble dropping rods in the water a few years back and he bought some of the foam things made to float a rod if dropped in. The bought ones stay on the rod fishing or not and he did well with them, but if my memory serves me right they were not as large of a diameter as the noodles?
The bag has this spool thing it fits over to make it convenient.
Took a pic to show.

Oh and some of these jigs have been in there over a year, lol!

I also use a piece of pool noodle on my tackle bag strap to air out jigs. Usually the ride home in the back of the truck has them bone dry and ready to return to their boxes when I get home. I like that storage idea. Looks like an excellent winter project(at least until the ice is thick enough to fish on��) Do you guys notice any difference with holding fish when you mash the Barb's down as opposed to not?

IMHO pinching the Barb down did not effect my catch rate. I catch just as many. It does make it easier to get the crappie off the hook when you get them in your hand and it is easier to get your jig out of snagged wood or brush piles.Quote:
