Hook storage

[ReelMaker]

I've been thinking that keeping made up hooks on nylon are a issue with the line being linked and squashed on the wooden winders.I now use old line spools with a small hole drilled thought to put the hook into and then wind on the hook lenght and use the plastic clip onto the spool to grip it .I 've this is an easy way to make a fiddly task simple Reelmaker

I use 3 plastic wallets, each with ten pockets. One is for hooks tied to 1.2lb links, another for hooks tied to 2.5lb and the third is to 3.25lb links. I tie about a foot of line to Kamasan 525 hooks, then loop the line over two fingers before inserting each hook into a pocket. You do your tying at home before each trip.
Here in Tenerife I brought two packets of ten hooks and have tied them onto an A4 sheet of polystyrene - spare stock if you like for when I get back on the river......

I keep all my hooks to nylon in different sizes/lines in a fly wallet - anything required out of the ordinary I will make bankside as and when it becomes required.

I have to keep every thing as simple as possible now as I struggle to get hooks in and out of wallets.I only us size 20 hooks with punched bread,as the fish are small roach and dace and very shy bigger baits are no use.Reelmaker

The Carping fraternity use rig boards - these are large and very easy to use - this May help you for storing - just a thought.

I tie all my hooks fresh on the bank as I can't see the point of hooks to nylon when ones short distance sight is fine, and anyways they're going to be replaced if I miss too many bites on the trot.

I wish I could do that...I have to use my glasses under a strong lamp, and store them stuck in a wine cork in an old tobacco tin.

The downside is that I need glasses to see the float or rod tip!

Not a problem as yet, but it does take me a little longer than several years ago.
