Title: Storing large trebles ?
Post by: Chris Young on December 24, 2007, 10:22:29 AM: Just wondering how you guy's store your large trebles, I can't find a sml tackle tray deep enough, atm I'm using a tupaware container but it has no dividers & the tangles are messing with my head :o . Please help restore the balance :-[ ;)
Cheers Chris

I use the same kind of container (Plano does make one with a divider) but also use some wire ties from the supermarket/hardware store and elastic bands around the shanks to group lots of 4/5. Does the job.

Plano 3741 Waterproof StowAway Utility Box
This is a great all around deep box to have on the water for keeping items dry.

* O-ring construction for waterproofing
* Innovative "up latching" latches ensure tight seal
* 2 dividers create 1-3 compartments
* Great for large items
* 14"L x 9.13"W x 3.25"H

They stack in pairs . point to point and then base to base, and are easy to get in and out and I can slip the tube into my tackle bag when I'm planning to use them. I have not used 8/o trebles though so I'm not sure how these would fit. I'll get hold of some recorders and try it. If it works OK I'll post pics. :)

Post by: Michael Evans on July 14, 2011, 05:15:50 PM: I use a small square of polyurethane (esky material) with a row of small diameter holes drilled in it! Neck of hook sits in hole, pointy bits buried in poly! When it gets a bit tatty, you can easily make another! I have seen someone else before a trip give it a quick spray with inox and wrap with glad wrap! Very DIY but works pretty well!
