Tackle/Fishing Supplies..Tips/Tricks

[OldTimer]

Today I was starting to prepare my gear for an upcoming trip...... and in doing so I was reminded that I had never posted my "tied on lure hooking guard" idea before……….

Simple idea I came up with years ago to prevent visiting racoons from getting hooked up on lures I leave tied on overnight and resting in the boat or leaned up against the cottage wall………. Had a nasty experience one night where a young racoon got hooked up to a few trebles on a Rebel minnow.

It also works in your car, closet etc, etc………

Save the larger of your prescription pill bottles with pliable plastic lids…they must be long enough to swallow the lure completely……. Using heavy kitchen snip or pair of tin snips, or such – snip the lid’s collar and in towards the center just a bit.

When you store your rod …. Open the pill bottle, drop the tied on lure into it…… run the line into the snip cut………. Screw the lid back on the bottle………… done………. Safe plus!

Cheers,
