I have tried a lot of different tips and tricks to keep my hooks from migrating around my hook box. I have tried various different things such as gluing the dividers (they still move around the box) and leaving hooks in bags (tangles) without much success. I tried this neat little trick, and can not be happier…I now use this method for all my loose hooks.

Good tip. I cut up refrigerator magnets and put them in the bottom of the bin.

That IS a good tip. I’ve been doing that for at least 10 years. I also use the safety pins to hold all my different sized snap & barrel swivels. And don’t forget all those fancy, colored beads and spinners we like to add to our hoochies. Any small item in your tackle box with a hole in it can be kept neatly stored by using safety pins.

Nice idea - I’ve used that for organizing my buttons in my sewing stash, but never applied it to fishing - DOH!

Thanks

Tip tip: Fold a short piece of tape over the back side of the safety pin so you can write the size of the hooks it carries.
