How do you store your bigger lead weights? The 3oz plus sizes.

You mean at home? I use glass jars as they become empty from the kitchen.

On the boat. I found a heavy mesh bag that may be a good solution.

Oh, yeah, up in Alaska I use chum bags in that way, they're heavy mesh bags. Easy to store on the boat, easy to wash gunk off of them, and you don't have loose sinkers rolling everywhere

It's a small bag that holds about 20-25 weights. We lose 0-3 every time we fish.

JP, might look at grocery store on location bakery for the small plastic buckets, 2-3 gal. Look like stunted 5 gl buckets. Usually icing or some such filling.

Small enough to be out of way, big enough for number of weights you mentioned. weights in mesh bag, into bucket.

We get ours from our HEB stores.
