Never put a hook into the eye of a guide. Metal ones can be scratched and brittle ceramic ones can be broken. Damaged eyes translate into damaged line and lost fish. If you must secure a hook to a guide, use the foot.
You will shorten the life of your tackle if you put it away wet. It pays to let it air dry before stashing it away.
slide your steel leaders into plastic straws and store in a plastic zip lock bag in your tackle box .
use shower curtin hooks to string your sinkers on acourding to there weights .
attach a bobber to your keys , need i say more ?
a piece of wire , a scrap piece of wood ,a jacknife , some old hooks and a little paint and some imigination is all you need to make your own lures when your bored . surprisingly some guys get lucky and turn it into a career .
