Ideas for a small container to hold ice fishing jigs?

Guys,

A lot of times when I’m out, I’ll travel light and just carry a dozen or so jigs/spoons with me. I have been using a small (maybe 3 by 5 inch plastic container that was 2-sided and transparent so you could see through. Easily fits in front pocket of my Strikemaster bibs. I really like it but it’s not quite wide enough to easily close down the lids on spoons etc. that have treble hooks. I’ve looked at Fleet Farm, Scheels and Gander and not really found something that I’d like – either not transparent, too big, or too cheapie. The small Plano boxes are usually only one sided – and not real durable in the cold.

Any suggestions on containers you’ve come across that you like?

prescription bottle or old film cannister

baby food jar…

Piece of sheep skin with wool glued to the bottom of a small plano box.
Mosh painting departments of Fleet Farm will carry sheep wool pads.

$15 Rapala small jig box, double sided with foam inserts to easily store your jigs…

I can put this in my front pockets of my Ice Armour Bibs

I have one of the Combo Boxes

empty larvae container.

These are the best I have ever seen. Double sided. They measure 4×3. Got them at Mills Oakdale a couple years ago. Bought some for me and a buddy I was so impressed.

Suzuki that’s what I use now.

I like it but not quite deep enough to close on the largest lures with treble hooks.

i use the eagle claw jig box. one side can hold all my spoons and the other i can put any combination of small spoons or panfish jigs

Here’s an option

Vitacarry – 8 compartments

8 compartments with a gasket to keep everything dry.

Great suggestions! Thanks, guys.

where did you find one for $10?
I checked Cabelas and they wanted $20, as most other retailers

My bad, small size $15 at fishusa.com, I picked up a medium for $16 on ebay a few days ago, great little storage box.

Sometimes I Use my gloves or bibs pockets, Carry a knife.

old tin of chew, but I also like the jig boxes with the foam

I’ve got 2 I keep on my, 1 has compartments and folds open like a wallet and the other is the smallest clam box, I’ll get pictures up later

Fly boxes work really well. You can buy them pretty small and are fairly cheap.

This one from Plano is good for small rapala and spoons:

I like that!

Clam, Frabil, and many others make these.
Gasketed Ice Box

As stated above old chew tin, if you want something to snag your hooks on cut a piece of foam to put inside and glue it down.

Round up some prescription bottles and cut some foam tube caulking, used to tuck into driveway cracks before sealing with sealant, to fit inside the bottles. 3/4″ is about right as is 5/8″. Simply stick your small jigs into the foam tube and store the jigs/foam in the bottle.

Nice idea!

I think a $5 eurolarvae puck would be perfect if one is looking to narrow it down to the essenrisls.

I personally use a Cabelas large fly box.
