bbduc Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Thought I post an image of a relatively cheap but effective way to store baits. I had a gift certificate from a local hardware store burning a hole in my pocket and decided to add another bait box to bring in the boat. It's basically a semi-soft-sided tool box with 2.5" rain gutter sleeves. Pretty simple. I have 45 baits in this box and the pockets on the outside are handy for tools. Works great for me. This idea is nothing new but thought it would be nice to see what others have come up with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zib Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Using those rain gutter sleeves is a great idea. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WannabeeFishing Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Great idea. Tangles will be at a minimum. I user a lot of large crankbaits/spinners for stripers. This would work for me too. Thanks Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish'nTechnish'n Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 GOOD IDEAS are always appreciated!! I did something very similar but I used ROUND pipes, glues with epoxy. I can put smaller lures like spoons in between. I also glued some foam to the bottom (with drain holes) so the whole thing will float ......just never know!!

ROWINGADUBAY Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Where did you get the tool bag from I have been looking for one that the down spouts would fill out the bag but the ones I have measured would leave a gap on the ends I use one now with pvc but the difference in wieght between pvc and the down sputs is worth making new one.NICE JOB!!!!!

I think the cost was about $20 bucks. The gutter I used is that square plastic stuff. I had some just sitting in my garage. You're dead-on about the weight. Originally I was going to use pvc but the weight was an issue. You also gain space with the square gutter. I'm going to put another one together soon.

rixon529 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 A great idea for those bigger lures. I, too, fish for Stripers... I live in New England and we don't have Menard's here. Home Depot, however, has a couple of alternatives: 10 inch Tool Tote: http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hardware-Tool-Storage-Bags-Cases-Bucket-Storage/h_d1/N-5yc1vZc2g6/R-202018009/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051 17 inch Tool Tote: http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hardware-Tool-Storage-Bags-Cases-Bucket-Storage/h_d1/N-5yc1vZc2g6/R-202018012/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051 Thanks for sharing a great idea!
