This box works great and the Nite Ize tie wraps work very well for the one on deck that you are using to close it up while you are running the lake. Home Depot is a good place to get the gear ties. Put the extra gear ties in the box with the A-rigs to keep them handy.

2 ways. On the store shelf or hung to a stump in the lake. I equate it to LS. Biggest waste of money I've ever spent when I fish river lakes with a foot of visibility on their best day.
I can backlash toilet paper.

Take a short piece of PVC long enough to cover the full rig and a diameter large enough for the bait to fit in. Glue a cap on one end. Cut a grove down one side of the PVC and though 1/2 of the cap only big enough for your line to slide in. Slide that PVC over your line then pull your A-Rig up into it for storage. After you pull your Rig in take another PVC cap and slide it on the bottom. Takes a little more time but if you will cut the grove in your cap before you glue it on you can take and sand smooth the inside and outside of the grove to keep from nicking your line while in storage. Very strong cheap storage. If your rod has the little ring on it above your handle to hook your bait to while storing it. You can take the unglued cap and put you a small threaded hook on the cap to hook on to your rod to hold the full rig while in storage

[quote=Douglas J]I have put a split ring around all the arms for the past 15+ years. When not in use simply slide the ring down arms of the rig.
For storing in rod box a lure wrap around all the baits and hooks to hold it all together. Instead of the split ring I use a rubber O-ring... Dan

Mine are still stored in the trashcan. Grout what kind of problem did you have with them? Just curious, wondered what to look out for........... Lol, I had the worst kind of problem! They hurt my shoulder to throw, they got tangled up during half of the cast and when they did finally run straight…i couldn’t catch anything on them!!! But seriously, they probably work better on some lakes, than others. The lake I mostly fish is pretty dirty and although, I did catch one or two bass on them, as much as I threw one, it should have been more. Just a young man’s lure and not great for a guy that has worn out shoulders. Can’t deny the big fish catches on Ivie with them though and then on the flip side, I have this buddy in California that spent hundreds on some A-rigs and he couldn’t catch a fish, if he had live minnows on it!
