Solutions: Hook Holders
Been going around with assorted plastic boxes for my hooks. Most have the
snap-in dividers, which the hooks slide under. Also, small hooks have a tendency to get over the top into the next bin. On some advice, I explored my local crafts store. In the beading section, you can find great boxes for your hook storage. I found one from "Craft Mates" that is clear and has 14 double locking comparments (two rows of 7). There is the individual snap top for each compartment and and a bar that you have to push in on the side to open the top. These and a label maker and now I've got boxes for dries, wets, streamers (2X to 6X), nymph and specialty hooks. Nicely organized and very portable. Gonna use one for my bead heads (who woulda thunk of that). (no, I don't work for any craft stores or companies.) -- Frank Reid Reverse email to reply |

I haven't had any of the problems that you mentioned. Of course I never turn them upside down either. They sit on my tying table, stacked up one on top of the other. There are 21 compartments in each box. They also come with a piece of paper in the lid that you can write the description of each compartment on to easily identify each hook. Of course, I use Tiemco hooks, so I keep the little paper label in the bottom of each compartment too. And since their little hooks come with a magnet attached to this little piece of paper, it makes it even nicer. You can see them he http://www.traditionalangler.com/Ump...Organizers.asp Of course, I use the box pictured on the bottom of the page. The one listed for $7.49. |

Frank, craft stores are definitely someones gift to the flytier. We had one across the street at our old place and I used to walk over and spend lots of time there before we moved. Ive bought things like beads, sparkling yarn, mylar etc.... as well as 'discovered' new interesting materials. Frank Reid wrote: Been going around with assorted plastic boxes for my hooks.

I use hook boxes made by Umpqua.
I've seen the boxes. Unfortunately, a well equipped crafts store is now much closer than a well equipped fly fishing store. I would have to custom order those. The boxes I got were $2.99 US apiece. Fairly good price. -- Frank Reid Reverse email to reply |

Get flat rubberized magnets and cut them into small pieces and plaace in each section of the box. Works well for me. |
