Before last weekend, I'd keep my baits in the front of the Gambler in a gallon bucket that my wife got at work. It was usually a mess by the end of the day and sometimes I'd find a bait hanging from my pants leg. I thought it was pretty clever, though.

Then, I met Capt. Harry down at Cave Run. He scoffed at my arrangement, "Mikie, why are you keeping a hundred dollars worth of baits in a cheap plastic bucket?"

Harry makes a Tackle Tamer that I think is just great. The quality of construction will fool you, one look says this has to be a factory job, not just some guy in his garage; but that's wrong! Harry makes these in his spare time to gain fishing trip and bait money and also makes a real cool carry-on bait hanger box out of the same strong Lexan material.

Now, I've put me bucket in the recycle bin. Thanks so much, Harry! I like the way the baits hang so that the hooks will never contact my leg again. m

Mikie,
pretty cool deal dude. I made my own out of PVC pipe. just took a bunch of pieces and kept glueing pieces together until it fit around my front pedestal. Holds like 20 baits. I will admit though I copied the idea off something I saw on here or off a company (i forget).

Wow! That is an awesome design. Congrats!

Craftsmanship looks superb too.

I love the angled metal hanger part to keep the hooks inside the edge of the box for safety (great with kids and dogs in the boat). Would it be possible to also drill a hole just below the metal slot to allow the hook point to drop through rather than ride on the metal surface and potentally dulling or rounding over the hookpoint during the bouncing of both water and road travel???

And lastly, what other "custom work" does Harry do? I'd be interested in a bottomless lexan hanging spinnerbait box with certain dimensions to fit underneath my rear casting deck.

And... if Harry is selling this stuff for fun.... I recommend he post up some more pictures on the "Basement Bait" forum!!!!!
