    Default lookin 4 a jig box


    Lookin for a large jig box to store my jigs. The small fly boxes I've been using have been falling apart. The foam seems to wear quickly. Any suggestions on what I should get? thanks

    I for the most part just use the old regular plastic compartment style, but I make some gift boxes up (not big) and the foam in them you are supposed to back the hook in and back it out so it will last. You don't use the point of the hook to put a jig in on these kind. I think they are kind of high priced though and made is Sweden or Switzerland, don't remember which.

    Default box

    I just use a plano stowaway but all my jigs are in pill amber bottles marked with the weights and all my tubes are in ziplock bags. The double protection keeps the lead from oxidizing, any mold from forming and all the dirt and debris off my jigs and plastics. I never throw a wet lure back in the box until its 100% dry usually a few days later. When i used fly boxes for flys most of them would start to rust if they got any moisture in the box, had more flys ruined by water than by fish. You can fit 2 small pill bottles per compartment so you can have one for light and one for dark colors and still separated by weight.
