Location: Lake County Illinois | I picked up a Dadsons Boo Dadley at the Chicago show and it looks incredible,and im planning on getting some more.The Maribou is huge on these and it wont fit in my Plano 9715 comfortably unless I take a divider out.So I was wondering how you guys store and hang these,as it looks like I should hang them blades up and marabou down to keep it in good shape,as opposed to the mylar ones where I just put hooks at the top and blades at the bottom and they seem fine once there in the water.Im thinking maybe some small S hooks in the top notches of the box to go through the eye.Also Im sure they need to be dried out before storing as they look like they hold a lot of water as opposed to mylar.Any tips or tricks to keeping marabou nice will be appreciated.Thanks Ray |

Location: South shore of Lake St. Clair | I have some Dadson's as well and you are correct, they do hold a LOT of water. Awesome action on the retrieve though. Anyway they do take a while do dry out. I did exactly as you described by hanging them blades up. Still look great after one year of use and abuse. |

Location: Central Wisconsin | I store mine vertical until I get home where then I place them in front of a low fan or something that will dry them fully on their side. This has worked well for me preserving the bou. As far as finding a place that they fit in, I think it's time for a just encase  |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Idea: when you trailer your boat home, hang the maraboos on a ledge somewhere in the boat. Dries the boo out then you can hang it when you get home. |

| I agree with hanging them in the boat. I also squeeze the water out of them before hand to speed up the process. With bucktail or flashabou I shake them out. |

Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | I have a strip of double sided Velcro on the gunnel of my boat. one side is hook & the other the loops. The back is adhesive. I stick one side to the gunnel, cut the top piece just a tad longer and then separate the two pieces. Add the baits by either end leaving a space between them. Press the Velcro together in the spaces and the baits go no where. They dry on all rides water or trailer. |
