DanD Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 We’ll be going up to Eddie North’s camp this July and I been looking for ways to cut some weight out of my tackle; actually my tackle boxes. Right now all my spoons and crank baits are in a couple of the "special mate" spoon boxes. Great box with the file cabinet type of dividers but the box is a bit bulky and it must weight at least 3 or 4 lbs empty. So I been looking and calling locally with no success for these roll-up spoon pouches. Has anyone seen them at their local tackle shops? I’ve sent an email to the people at Amish outfitters, they have the style I want; but I haven’t heard back from them yet. So if anyone knows where a couple of these are hanging; possibly in a corner of a tackle shop, please let me know. Here’s a picture of what I’m looking for; all the others that I've found on line only hold a third of what these will. Thanks.
Roy Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 Take the hooks of them Dan. Spoons in one bag rolled tight. Hooks in a small box or bag with split ring pliers. Hook'em as you need them.
DanD Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Posted April 25, 2012 Yea that would work Roy; thanks for the suggestion. The roll-up would still make life easier; I think anyway? Dan.
Fishing4Tails Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 I have a couple I'd love to get rid of if you need .. Pm me to see what area u live in . Thanks Greg
dave524 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) The one in your pic is available from Amish Outfitters. Swap out the trebles for single siwash, they roll up a lot tighter. http://www.amishoutfitters.com/catalog.htm sorry did read far enough , guess you know that the siwash still store better though Edited April 25, 2012 by dave524
adempsey Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 Those are nice spoon storage options, but I bet I could fit all those spoons into a single Plano 3700 box . The empty box might even weigh less than that pouch too! Also, I admit I am guilty of bringing in far more tackle than I would ever use on all my fishing trips, but I bet you don't really need 36 different spoons for your fly-in trip .
DanD Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Posted April 26, 2012 Thanks for the replies. Frank the guy that sells the tackle through Amish Outfitters called last night. I guess he’s fishing a charter or tourney out of St Catharines next week? He said he’d mail the roll-up to me after he’s on this side of the boarder; which will save me about half the shipping and be a bit quicker to my door. I thought that was pretty good of him; he could have just sent it from his home and not be bothered with the extra leg work. Now that I’ve got that on its way, the search for a relatively inexpensive (but reliable) graph with rechargeables is next on the list. Don’t need GPS options in the finder; I still have my trusty handheld; just want a somewhat accurate structure and depth. Any suggestions? You’re likely right fishlogic; I don’t need to fill the roll-up; but that one lure I’d leave at home will be the one my brother has and it’ll be the producer. I love my brother to death but I can’t let him out fish me; sibling rivalry lives forever. Dan
