Posts: 378 Location: Michigan | I had one of the originals from Capt. Harry. Neet design, but I had the problem jerkbaitjunky describes. It scratched the daylights out of all of my lures. I took a few HR's and Trueglides out one day, and the clearcoat got all scuffed... If my baits are going to get beat up, I would preffer the muskies do it. I am back to a Plano or Lakewood. I picked up a Dunright to try, but with the inserts, that may do the same thing. Looks like good work Jim, hope it works out for you. Edited by Chadster 4/3/2007 6:24 AM | ||

Posts: 786 Location: Minnesota | I know in my Lakewoods box my baits are fine but, they are packed in 2-4 per hole. They can move much to get banged around. Maybe that is the problem? Wonder if you could put strips of weather proofing in the holes someplace to keep the baits looking nice. Nightmare bringing them out though with the hooks and if it is see through it would be ugly as sin. hmmmmm I think the main way to keep your baits nice is to prevent movement but, I am just not sure how to other than packing them in on each other and your Plano idea. | ||

Posts: 119 | I like the idea of no bottom on the box, so you don't have to reach into a pile of hooks to grab a fallen plug! | ||

Posts: 786 Location: Minnesota | Here is my new box again. Finally finished it with the some Velcro straps. Nice when you take the Plano boxes out. Full range to look and grab lures instead of like My Lakewoods box. I can drop all the lures I want in this one and not get hooked getting them. I did not think it was that big until I put it next to my full size Lakewoods box. I can get 40 bait on my screw eyes and then 4 full size 3 inch deep Plano boxes in the aluminum monster. Has roller wheels too and one of those pull out handles. LOL I will be the fanciest angler on the lake. I think this will be my soft/Dawg and glider box. Attachments ---------------- ![]() ![]() | ||

Posts: 129 | i just finished a box today. it can hold maybe up to 150 lures. its massive. 30" x 12" x 12". 3 plano 3730s on the inside and one on the outside. one 3700 on the outside. eight pieces of 3" pvc pipe and about 5 pieces of 2.5" pvc. and on the back i also put a piece of wood that i can hang a bunch of lures on. i still have to get some more pvc pipe. the only bad thing about the box is that it weighs alot. i want to get some thinner pvc pipe if home depot has any. this is my first time trying to post pictures. so i hope this works. sorry if they are a little blury. theres something wrong with the camera. ![]() ![]() | ||

Posts: 199 Location: Anchorage | I have long been debating on how to make a custom bait box and thought of using Lexan, but doesn't the box act as a greenhouse in direct sun when it's closed? Just curious. Seems to me it could be trouble for the Bulldawgs. | ||

Posts: 691 Location: nationwide | The lexan box I have I use for topwater lures only. The box does collect heat but is not air tight and does get some circulation. The best thing about the lexan box is its ability to keep wood lures dry so they don't get water logged. Corey Meyer | ||

Posts: 613 Location: big cove tannery pa | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well i needed a box for my spinnerbaits so i did some searching for a cheaper method of storing them,took a few ideas and put together a cheaper,effective,and secure way too store my lures. I bought the plastic tote at dollarstore $4,dial rod $.59 & some left over plywood and screws. I used a file too notch out the grooves so they would stay in place. The box locks and has a handle,it holds about 20 spinnerbaits. I'm going too make another one or two for my bucktails and other inlines i have made. Attachments ---------------- ![]() | ||

Posts: 613 Location: big cove tannery pa | Here's another one i made for my other bucktails and inlines. I using small hooks on the dial rods and sides,this one is a little bit more complicated,possitioning the hooks so you can get them off easily and so they wont fall off. I ran outa hooks after i broke a few off trying too screw them into the dials. Attachments ---------------- ![]() | ||
