Spoon Storage

Hi all, what’s the current top solution for spoon storage? Like most, I’ve gotten to the point with my regular boxes where each compartment has 5+ spoons in it and grabbing something new turns into swear words. Are the Fishmore boxes still the solution?

i’m not sure what your exact meaning of spoons are……but i use the hook bonnets……saves on swear words!!!!1

I am in this same dillema, after I want to spend a 30 dollar fleet farm gift card and came out with 200 more in spoons I got home to realize I have so many spoons and want them organized better. Not sure why I need so many. The damn pinhead minnows is a do all and the only thing I’ve need for spoons in a while.

The clam boxes with slit pieces of foam are the best I’ve used. I can get maybe 30 spoons in a box and they never tangle or touch eachother. I can get 3 of them in the bottom of my rod box.

In a half dozen outings I’ve probably used 6-7 different spoons. Just like crankbaits…I go back to the same half dozen proven winners more often than not.

Why do I have so many dang spoons? I like two of each (at least) because if one gets hot and breaks off I have another to quickly tie on or can hand one over to my son … and vice versa.

Last two winters I have had more success with ripp’n vertical “shad” lures. They take up even more space than most of the spoons.

Still storing in those mini plastic tackle boxes.

This is also what I do. Pinheads in one, kastmaster in another. Everything else in a tangled mess because they don’t get used like the pinheads and kastmasters do.

this is similar to what I have

Are Clam boxes any better than when they 1st were on the market? I saw them back then and was going to buy one but 3 of the 4 on Cabelas shelf had a busted plastic latch.
I bought foam and a Plano with pro latches and made my own.

Honestly i could probably get away with 5 spoons that I use for 95% of my walleye fishing, but more spoons is more fun.

Simple and easy. Where did you buy the light foam from ?

I just watched a video on YouTube. Can’t believe i hadn’t seen this before. Lady friend said she’ll go to Micheal’s and get the foam tomorrow.

Lakewood makes some nice ones. A Wi company and lifetime warranty.

This is what I do with my big spoons. Do similar with my smaller spoons just in a shallower box.

I thought so. The other boxes posted above in the links seem to have been big daredevil spoons and crank boxes.

Ice fishing spoons !

The Clam box or similar, then glue a 1/4″ strip of foam to the cover so when you close the top the foam holds the spoons in place. Works great.

I use thse.

I’m just sitting here trying to think of what kind of a storage box you guys use to carry all your storage boxes?

Does this answer your question?

The black one is rods, the diamond plate one is tackle and other necessities.

How many spoons can you get in that box?

I’d need to have 15 of them.

Large holds 83 spoons I think.

The small holds probably half that (but does fit between the foam inserts of most rod boxes.

I keep 3 smalls in my rod box with 4/5 rods, a Rapala jig box, and a spare drill battery.

The large was at Tractor Supply for $15

Exit: Clam boxes with newer latch than original version. I give up trying to post pictures on here from a phone
