hook packets

[Cliff Turner]

Cliff, I forgot to mention some small low profile plastic containers with individual flaps/doors and have magnetic bottoms. I used to empty the hooks into the compartmemts and put a little label on the lid stating the size of the hooks etc. I think the boxes I have are Korum and they were supplied with the korum luggage.
I imagin similar magnetic boxes will be sold by multiple brands.
Somewhere like temu may be a good place to buy them for very little money
Here's some pictures below. The korum one with the magnetic bottom is the one with four compartments.
One of the others is an old freebie off angling times and the black one is a generic one from temu. They are less than a quid each on temu and I imagine they will do them with magnetic bottoms.










I forgot to say, I keep my olivettes and swivels in the angling times type.

thanks Ian, Ive still got one those Angling Times ones and a couple of the Korum ones, but ideally I prefer to keep them in their packets so i can easily see what size, pattern etc.

I have a core range of hooks I used for the various types of fishing I do. My way of storing my stock is in of those useful tackle boxes Angling Direct (AD) sell which have dividers that can be put in various positions. When I need hooks I generally buy them on Ebay as a lot of sellers will offer multiple packs e.g. 3 x packs of 10 or 5 x packs of 10 and the postage is cheaper than petrol in the car and going to a tackle shop. Also AD seemed to have stopped selling Kamasan hooks but I did buy some recently from their sale rack.

All my float fishing is now done with spade end hooks so I have some hooklength storage boxes which are cheap enough to buy and usually available in different colours. My barbel float fishing hooklengths are stored in a Leeda 30cm box which also has pegs at shorter lengths.

My hooks for legering/feeder fishing I tie up using eyed hooks from Bank Tackle and I store those in a Gardner Rig Bin in a variety of lengths. Any spare hooks are in a tackle box in my bag but I rarely need to make any up on the bank.

Another useful way of storing made up hooklengths are those foam discs and some manufactuers sell them as a set with a storage box.

thanks John but I only tie hook lengths in advance when Im going after silvers and using light lines and small hooks. I do use the foam discs for some of my feeder hooklengths.

i use something similar to this, magnetic base so the hooks don't fall out, double sided. i write each hook size on the lid, above each section.

I use These and leave the hooks in their original plastic sleeves.

I have several patterns in there in their own plastic seal bags. Another holds all my hooklink materials and they fit in a small pocket in my rucksack.

This is in my roach, perch, tench etc rucksack.

I have a different system altogether for barbel and chub.

Not sure, as I've just noticed these are a bit different to the Zebco pouches I've been using for several years and which seem to be no longer made - mine have a Velcro closure rather than a zip and have 10 sleeves.
