Since this will be new to me, I'm curious.  How do you folks that use jig spinners and spinnerbaits carry them on your trips?  The standard bait boxes don't seem like a very good solution.  I was thinking of something like this: (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
Think the medium size would work?  Better idea(s)?

[size=12]Kerry, it's not high-tech but I have some electrician's tape plastic discs with lids that I scavenged out of my carpentry toolboxes. I can place 3 or 4 jig spinners in there (1/4oz jigs with #2 colorado blades if I remember correctly). 4 or 5 dollars at my local hardware store and I get the electrican's tape thrown in! Probably can get them cheaper at a larger retail hardware store or retailer, Another option that I have is a CD case that I picked up for a buck at a local dollar store. The inner sleeves work well enough to slip several jig spinners in. There are probably many better options out there but it works for my budget Smiley

My tacklebox is actually a bigger version of this idea that I bought from BWJ years ago but they no longer offer/make.

I like the versatily/packability of a "soft" tackle box for all my lures.

If I was looking for a replacement for my beloved tackle pack, I'd look at this item.

My pack has an adjustable shoulder strap that has a snap buckle in the center. Great for lashing in canoe or on canoe pack.

I'd make one if I bought this pack.

I'm assuming you are talking about "safety pin spinners" the type of lure common for large mouth bass fishing. I've found a great solution for storing these on a canoe trip.  I use Lure Keepers. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) These are designed to cover the lure when it's on your rod so they don't tangle or accidentally hook someone. They are great at that but also will hold 2 jig spinners each when stored in your "box". 

Personally I use a small compartment plano box for lures and then use a foot long cordura soft duffle for misc. items and put the lure keepers in there.

I also use an electrician tape plastic circle box to store my pike leaders in.  Works great.

I'm pleased enough with my tackle storage system which is comprised of individual tray boxes layered in a fanny pack. BUT those pike leaders are somehow always a hassle. Last year I used zip lock bags, but this circle box idea is nice.  Thumbs Upup

zski, I use your system as well, i.e. fanny pack. I have had the same issue with the pike leaders. Good suggestion from Tom T!

I use a little trick an old fishing guy showed me.

Take your pike leader and make a loop on one end and wrap the line around the loop until you end up with a small circle. Wrapping leader over/around loop, keeps it from unraveling. Do it right, you can snap swivel end to line end. Nothing to snag if you use a flat pouch or even keep a rig in shirt pocket.

Electricians tape box is a clever idea too.

Kerry,

I use clear plastic Plano trays, either two 3700 or three 3600 size. The jig spinners fit just fine in the tray slots, so no worries there. Usually if I have a white grub on a jig spinner, then I toss that one back into the white grubs when I'm done. And I'm often taking the spinner off a jighead (say, with the white grub), and snapping it onto another (with, say a black grub). Sometimes I'll just leave the spinner tied onto my line all day/night, and just switch jig/grub combos (weight/color) as I'm fishing.

Spinnerbaits are a little more tricky. I carry the plastic trays, but I don't want to deal with any more boxes than I have to. My solution: the trays have fixed lengthwise dividers, and those moveable hatches to separate compartments. I superglued in one row of those hatches, and then used a Dremel to cut out the lengthwise dividers. So I ended up with an open 6" x 6" space in the box. Works great and even easier to do than it sounds. Let me know if you want to see a pic.

Hope this helps.

Ranger
