Think I would have tried to give it some legs and laying flat you could hang a lot more and Wouldn't need to cut any of the tines. Not sure how you would put legs on that though. I use a grate much like that, but smaller that has fold out legs on the ends. I also use a similar one for hanging jigs that maybe needs some drying time on eyes or maybe one of my Glow Jigs. I use maybe 4 or 5 of these racks for things like this and more also next to where I tie. See pic below.
