Rigged Poppers

[Doug Terry]

What is the best way to store rigged poppers wuthout having to carry a special bag.

[David Noble]

Tupperware! For trips away I use a large hinged single compartment plastic container from KMart. 
Arranging them neatly can get a lot into a small space.
Probably 35 x 25 x 15, fits into my boat bag with other necessary gear.

Cheers Dave

Don't the hooks all get tangled up?

Yes a little bit.  It's manageable though, probably have 3/4's the poppers rigged and spare hooks in a separate tupperware container.
After each days fishing, or at times throughout the day, you might need to rearrange a few to keep them in order.

You can use hook safety cover if you are using trebles like this

or a tiny piece of cork if you are using singles
This will reduce tangles and risk of getting injured

The trouble with hook guards is that they only go up to size 3/0

There is no perfect solution to this. Easiest is to carry all lures unrigged and rig as needed - it only takes a few minutes.

Hi All,

The owner 2L size model ( green coloured caps ) fits 4/0 & 5/0's ST-66's trebles with no problems. The 1.5L size model ( blue coloured caps ) fits 3/0's. This I used myself with the awareness given from a friend of mine recently. The table sizes matrix from some companies are not always completely real.

I second Mark.

For me, I'd travel with the poppers unrigged stored as nicely as possible together (I arrange them by weight) and the trebles in another separate container where different sizes are packed into triple layered zip-loc bags with the size indication of the external of the zip-loc bags for easy identification and retrieval. It takes about 1-2mins for me to rig them up onto the poppers. Another small container would be to store the rest of the hooks and terminal tackle.

There's really no 'standards' here, just do what you think is the most convenient and works best for you..

Cheers
