Hook storage

[vmabuck]

I have WAY too many hooks.

I'm afraid to count them all.

I like Tic-Tac containers and I also like tic-tacs, the new containers are not as fragile as the old ones and you can write the model # on the lids

Normand, cool idea for dubbing. Haven't tried to drill holes in them, but might work. And the picture you posted is exactly the box I'm using. Just bought two today at Wally World for $6.59? each.

I have the 21 compartment hook boxes you can get at a local fly shop or Cabelas.I also keep some hooks in a couple 12 compartment clear plastic fly boxes (like the dubbing assortment boxes but without holes) I got at my local fly shop. My local fly shop closed or I would have bought some more of those. Then, I found a nice 12 compartment bead box at a craft store for about 3 bucks, so I filled that up with hooks, too.

Check out your local crafts store for those compartment bead boxes.

I use the below boxes. I put all the hooks I use the most in the individual compartments and label them. The other hooks I keep in the space below the hooks. I find that the box is small enough to throw in a bag when i travel.

Thanks everyone. I stopped at wal-mart last night and bought the boxes Normand and ronhenry were talking about. Exactly what I was looking for.

I got a box of 24 for $6.95. I was able to get all my hooks into these. Even 3X long #8 streamer hooks. I also bought some magnet strips that had adhesive on one side and cut little strips to stick to the bottom of each container.

The containers, magnets, and labels all came to less than $12. The best part is they fit into my nut and bolt organizer shelf unit that I keep all of my hooks, beads, threads, etc in. Three conatiners in one drawer.

Terry, I think you'll love those boxes. I have three loaded up and just bought a fourth last night. Good luck!

I have a bunch of Gerber baby food containers. They are clear plastic and would work great for hooks and dubbing if anyone is interested.

I recycled a lazy susan spice rack. It has 4 vertical rows of 4" clear glass jars stacked 4 high, and takes up very little space. 16 is about the right # for what I tie.

I drill holes in plastic all the time. I use a Forstner bit and a drill press and go REAL slow on the feed...and it cuts a perfect round hole slick as a whistle.
