Lure boxes -

[Dick Dastardly]

Plano boxes do last well.One tip is to try and find a tool shop that sells Plano "tool" boxs.Exactly the same as the tackle boxs (even the number code) but different colours......and a lot cheaper! Honestly take a look.

 

Should have told me you were going out Choke Canyon way Dave I could have put you on to a bit of Alligator Gar fishing.

I sorta figured that tackle box was oversize for the way you fish Dave.

 

Just though I'd throw it in for fun and it IS an outstanding box if it fits your style of fishing as it does mine.

Blimey !

 

How much does it weigh?

 

"Lugger" just about rhymes with my thoughts on yomping that for a mile or two along the Upper Medway whilst roving for preds.

Why not just get a decent bum bag, put hook covers on and put them in the bum bag. When I go trotting I use a fladan bum/belt bag for my floats, hooks,camera etc and it would be ideal to put lures in for roaving, it has a few pockets. I wouldn't want to be humping a big box about with me.

I suppose it is the fly-fisher in me, I like to look at several lures side by side in a box when pondering my next choice of lure. I am making a change, I have thought about why, and what I think I want next, but the sight of other lures might just jog a memory and lead to a better choice.

 

Having the lures loose in a bag means 1. Every so often a diving vane gets damaged. 2. Hook bonnets do sometimes come off - and if you are not expecting that and groping into the recesses of the bag...... and 3 The lure you think you want is always at the bottom !

Well, right, thats why I like smallish boxes. Mobility is the essence of how I lure-fish rivers.

 

Its a trade-off between having a decent selection to choose from and carrying too much.

 

Thought. Supposing some else followed respectfully behind, carrying a couple of huge lugger bags? Now what about that offer of yours to ghillie for me?

the bucket method

 

Apart from a bird on each arm, I can't think of a bigger handicap to roving a small stream.

 

The little boxes are fine though - but I wouldn't take more than two.

Just in case anyone misunderstood

 

 

.....and Tigger, this is what I really mean about travelling light - look at the RH lapel of the jacket - I couldn't even afford a fly box in those days, elderly gentlemen used to stick flies in their hats, but I couldn't afford one of those either.

I use a Wychwood lure bag which has removable boxes so you can take some out if you know your not going to use them and have enough room for lunch etc.

 

Usually though I'll take the lure bag and a rucksack for unhooking mat, scales, deads for wobbling etc..still light enough to move around with ease

 

I've got the bucket for my larger jerkbaits etc. but I also have the Wychwood Lure Lugger for my smaller lures. I found that Shakespeare do boxes that fit the Lure Lugger and the rest of the Wychwood range perfectly. The dimensions of the boxes are identical so when you fill your Lure lugger or whatever bag you have, you can pick and choose what boxes you require for you day's outing. Naturally there no point in taking all your deep-water lures with you when you're fishing a shallow bay so as long as you keep lures of a similar ilk in their chosen boxes, you can take whatever boxes you need. The Lure Lugger only takes 6 or 7 boxes? but I now have at least 10 boxes to choose from for whatever is required for that day's session.
