Location: West Virginia		I am planning to build me an on-board tackle box in one of the storage compartments on my boat. Was wondering if any of you guys have done this and if so what material did you use as far as what to hang the lures on. i priced some plexiglass at a local hardware store and it is going to cost to much $ than what I am wanting to spend. I would like to find just sheets of plastic that would work. Do not want to use PVC or anything like that. Really want it to be neat. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I know you said you didn't want PVC or anything but gutter drain pipe is really the way to go.

Location: Des Moines IA		I used downspout, and afterwards, saw the 4X4 fence post sleeves. They make for a much better storage system, and look much cleaner.

Location: West Virginia		I like the looks of the fence post sleeve and had never thought about that. Gonna run to Lowes and see if they have any. Thanks for all the ideas guys and if anybody has any more let me know.

Location: West Virginia		Just got back from lowes. I ended up bringing home vinyl gutter pipe. Priced the fence post sleeves and was still going to have more in it than what I wanted. Their plexiglass was outragous to. I left with only spending $40 so i cant complain. Will post pics when its complete.
