Default Hardbait Management Tip

Recently watched an episode of my favorite fishing program. The boys were cranking for eyes. The guide they were fishing with had a great storage tip that virtually solves the tangled mess your cranks can get into. Simply wrap an elastic band around the trebles to hold them together. I did up one of my boxes tonight. It's amazing how much easier they are on the hands, and how little they hook up with each other. I had never seen this before and thought I'd pass it along.

I have found these boxes made by Shimano have worked well, but more storage space needed.

I find that if you don't get a treble in the finger when dipping your hand into your crank bait box then it doesn't feel like fishing

I seen the episode also Dace and just haven't gotten around to getting a box of elastics to get started on it. One more thing to add to the list this season.
