Title: Lure Bucket For Your Boat
Post by: Hammer on March 06, 2014, 09:53:32 PM

Hi Guy's,

I'm not sure if this has been done on the forum yet but this what I use on my boat for my lures.

It is a simple bucket converted to carry lures that you use the most, It enables you to find them and change them quickly. After you have used a lure you just hang it in the bucket and it drip dries. I also rollup my konas and even my bottom traces and throw them in. When you beach you take the bucket of lures and rinse them under fresh water and let them dry. Then you put elastics around the hooks and pack them away. You can secure the bucket anywhere on the deck of your boat. Your other lures can stay in your lure bag out of the way.

I'm not going to explain it step by step because the pictures will do it.

Chris "Just Plastic" in Springfield (in the shopping centre opposite Makro) has various sizes.

Nice one Mike! Very neat!  :+ cred:

I did a similar bucket for my used lures on the boat. Instead of an "elaborated lid" (or in case you lose it), I just cut several slits around the top edge of the bucket... that's where the hooks of the rappies are secured. The rest of the lures (konas, birds, etc.) are tossed in the middle.

This way you get to store a lot of rappies and they don't get tangled so much (depending on the number you use!). Here's an edited version of one of your pics to show what I mean.

Hi Marcos, that will also work. I just worry about the hooks scratching the lures.

Don't worry about scratching them lures!  :hyst:

And remember... a scratched lure is a productive lure! :hnthnt:
