Plano Line Spool Box For Leaders

[arpie]

Hi guys

I got my Plano Line box a while back, but found that the line would unwind all by itself, making a nasty mess, so started thinking about how to remedy the problem!!

Take one "Stubby Beer Holder" & cut out the 'floor'.

Cut it into 5 or 6 equal sized circles & slip each one over one of your Leader spools.

Replace them back into the box & pop the line thru the holes ..... don't forget to lock the box shut or the whole lot will go flying when picked up!

No more mess!!

Nice one Roberta - I have the same box and experience the same problem - not anymore.

Whilst my stubby holders are sacred, I think I can sacrifice one for the cause!!

Even without the 'gucci' box, that is a great idea Roberta Will carve up a stubby cooler this arvo!

G'day Roffo

I just went to spool up & somehow it had all become a giant 'bird's nest!'

I had done something similar to my small fly fishing leader reels, just using elastic, as the slot I'd cut in the edge was too big & the line kept falling out & figured it would work here too! :) It does!!

Fantastic idea I was contemplating giving mine away.

And I did pick mine up the other day without clipping the top a huge birdsnest and my kids leaned some new words.

Following along those lines Roberta ... I know you like to save space and recycle, and here is a simple fix.

Use your neoprene coolers as baitcaster covers, ...

Then when the reel is on the rod, use it for its real purpose (pardon the pun)

[arpie]

Yeah, Hodgey - been doing that for a few years now, too! :) Great minds must think alike, eh??

Damned good idea Hodgey.

Looks like your stubby cooler collection is as good as you cap collection.

I think in your case Ian the can of Bundy would have preference over the baitcaster.
