Your livebait rigging supply box, dealing with and organizing hooks, how do you do it?
The way the hooks are packaged is extremely inefficient IMO while fishing. But no other containers hold them that I’ve found in their separate spots, they always get under or around the separators.
Thoughts?
Nick, when you figure that out let me know and I’ll by you a beer. 
I hate it when the hooks get caught under the dividers. 
Looking at how the hair box is setup just now, wonder how a noodle cut and all hooks stuck in would work?
I use gamatsu hooks and keep them in the original packaging,the package folds over and reseals. I keep the assorted hooks in a vinal shaving kit case along with swivels and quick connects in their packaging. Compact enough to fit in one of the side pockets of the soft sided tackle box.
You don’t find those cheesy, easily broken, barely can get your fingers in there and when you do you get 5 hooks instead of one or you try to skillfully shake just one out here comes the whole pile packages a PIA?
Best idea I’ve had in a long while. The little boxes are perfect for separating different hooks, snaps, swivels, split shot, and weights up to about an ounce. The big box they come in is junk but the little boxes fit perfectly in a plano box.

I tie live bait rigs as I need them, but I tie up spinner rigs and store them on the lindy foam holders. It would work the same for live bait rigs.

Do you do finger and toenails too? I see an opportunity. 
Beer it is
Amen to that!
Liking the options so far, wife just told me to catch dinner so I’m mia for a few hours here. Keep em coming!
Nick, sorry some of us children derailed your thread here. By far the best solution is what Tim J posted. Menards website shows it at $4.99. Surprised Northland or Lindy Tackle hasn’t repurposed that item by sticking on their decal and selling for $19.99. 
Don’t worry about the thread, it’s all good!
Eel, good luck with that whole chastity thing tonight
I switched over to gamakatsu g-boxes this year. They have nice slit foam in them like a fly box. Fleet farm stocks them, I believe they are under 12 bucks. They are by far the best hook or jig box I have found.
That looks phenomenal.
That’s it. I bought two…. Then three more!
Time to retire the shaving kit. 
Think that box will float with $130 of tungston jigs in it, my last one sure didn’t 
G-Box, Utility Case 3600 Size 10.8″ x 7.4″ x 1.7 that’s a realy nice size.
I’m not sure how much flotation they have. But that would be an entertaining test. Fill it up with your best jigs and toss it in. 
This is what I use for smaller hooks.
I use the same thing as outdoors4life. But I buy mini-mite that come in that same container.
That’s it. I bought two…. Then three more!
You wouldn’t happen to have some pics so we can see how they work for you would ya?
Hopefully this pic works.

Here is another.

I use boxes without movable dividers. I don’t get hooks going under or over, they stay where I put them. Falcon and Plano make good ones. I would need 5 or more of the foam boxes to hold what I can put in one box. I would think real estate in most boats is precious.
