jigging spoon storage box??

I did a search to try and find some posts about a decent way to store jigging spoons and I didn’t find much.

Last year my jigging spoons took a beating. Does anyone have a good way to store spoons in a relatively smaller tackle box. I really like the newer clam boxes for my jigs. I thought I remember a long time ago seeing a box that had foam retainers for the hooks and then some type of elastic band to hold the spoons flat so they don’t bounce around.

Anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks!

Try the Rose Creek spoon box here:

All my jig boxes that have the seperated compartments, I cut foam pieces to fit into each compartment.The foam fits down on top of my jigs and spoons and all the travelling they get, no damage to them as the foam keeps them from getting beatup on each other.

I used eva foam and 1/16th inch plastic and made my own

How many spoons does the jigging spoon box hold?

Take an old clear box (3700 series is what I use) and snip out all of the dividers with a pair of snips. Grind the extra plastic off with a dremel tool or a file until it is relatively smooth. Now you have a big empty square box, no dividers or slits. Then glue down 1/16-1/4″ eva foam across the whole box. Now you can just hook in a spoon wherever you want and close er up. Works great and keeps all your spoons from bouncing around on each other. You can get the foam from any craft store.

This type of box also works great for jigs.

Where do you find foam?

I modified an existing clam box, and one of the free boxes I received at the Wausau Ice Show. Simply used what I call goop, blue sticky stuff that I’ve always used on posters, to attach foam to the lids of the boxes. Hot glue would look more asthetic, but this was a cheap solution. I like the idea of adding an elastic band too.

X2 On the Rose Creek spoon boxes. I own 3 and what I
like about them the hooks stay sharp and no tangled up
spoons. Worth the money and fits in your pocket! I just
got one from Bob this week. First one I have that has the
Custom Jigs & Spins logo on it.

mcmastercarr.com is where i got the foam. im guessing i have a lil over 100 spoons in my box ive added more spoons since i took that pic. there is three seperate layers in my jigging spoon box. And two layers in panfish and walleye jig box.

This box is el cheapo. $5 and I used hot glue on the bottom to attach left over carpet padding. It measures 9″ x 4.5″ and has two sides as you can see. Holds 20 some spoons or more if you use the smaller ones. 15 hard body lures on the other side. Works pretty nice and does not take up much space.

heres how I did mine…..

This is the best idea I have found and I love it. I could chuck this box down the driveway and the spoons would not move. Also, there is no way for the hooks to get tangled. I highly recommend you try to find one of these boxes, you will be pleased.

I do just the same, for mine I just used the foam for shop floors for around the bench where one would stand all day, very cheap comes in puzzle connections from Menards.

Lots of ideas. Thanks guys!
