Took a leaf out of Hatter3s book and set about getting a made to measure tackle box. Was a bit worried that my back would go out on the water when reaching into my bag in the tankwell. I think the boats design sort of makes up your mind for you when doing this but i would recommend anybody to have a go. They put all your tackle in front of you without getting in the way. And if i could think of anything else to put on it i would ;D ;D ;D   It clamps on with a piece of pressure plate and capping that i picked up from a double glazing firm. Got my mate to weld me up a "hook" so i could clip on the capping then slide it down securing it. Only way to get it off is to slide it up.    Surprising how much you can get in. Happy days! |

It's made from aluminium. I used to work with the stuff and had a contact from my old work to weld it up for me. There's not that much weight to it, not in the grand scale of things, ie, me. I got the magnetic strip from an angling centre which reminds me of a question i was going to ask. Is there a down side to using stainless steel hooks as i couldn't see much difirence in price, just a lack of choice.

I think the only real downside to stainless hooks is that they dont corrode like normal hooks. So if lost whether it be in rocks ,on the shore line or even in a fishes mouth it s going to be there for quite some time  whereas a normal hook will probably be mostly gone in around a week (in salt water at least). Anyone fancy doing the two jar experiment ;D ;D ;D |

Of coarse .  Although i think i'll give them a try and see how long i can keep a hold of them. Since taking up the sea fishing i've hated getting my hooks rusted. I'll plant a tree ;D ;D ;D ;D ; |
