Something to Hold Rigs Together

[halkman26]

Hey everyone,

Getting ready to start putting a few bucktail rigs with teasers together in anticipation of fluke season in NY - gonna then put the rigs in ziplock type bags. What do you guys use to keep the rigs tied together? Everytime I tie up a rig and put in a ziplock and then my tackle box, the line is bent out of shape when I take it out.....any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Plano has a 3700-size tackle tray with binder rings that was probably developed for plastic-worm fishing. You load your rigs into the zip-bags, and the bags snap onto the binder rings. You can flip through the bags to take out the one you want. The Plano tray keeps the rigs flat and protected.

Thanks Weatherman...what I meant though (and I did a very poor job explaining it) is does someone sell or is there a non-fishing product I can use to bind my leader material into a few loops so that is stays true while in the ziplock bag? Some kind of small bind.....

One way is to loop a rubber band through itself tightly around the loops, then pull the long end of the rubber band around the coil. Another solution is to buy a coil of twist tie in the trash bag isle of your grocery store.

Halkman - try plastic cable wraps http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2062665

Buy a longer piece and cut them into short lengths. Works like a charm and will not rust like bread ties or break like rubberbands.

I like the velcro ones. Good when wet, and reusable. You can cut them down to size as well.

Go to a garden center or a home depot type and get a role of "twisties". Comes on a spool with a cutter. Easy on,easy off and cheap.

second what sandy said.....we have used the velcro, the plastic lure wrap tubing, and the role of "twist-wire"......by far the most convenient is the twist-wire.......quick, easy, cheap, and you can cut different lengths......you can also apply a little more pressure with the twist-wire over the other materials mentioned.....which helps to hold the loops together better.

You can get "zip tie" wire ties that release & reuse.
I buy them from Mc Mastrer Carr , but there has to be other sources.

I pocket a hand full of the green wire ties from the super market when I get low. They have them so you can twist them around your plastic produce bags. I like the price free. Is it shop lifting? I think not; they don't charge for them so "no harm no foul"!!!

I will never admit to doing the same ,but at the check out line there are always a few extra in my cart.
A frequent guest on my boat recently gave me a bundle of pipe cleaners His wife Purchased at a craft shop. Very thoughtful of them .The pipe cleaners are a bit stronger also.

I use these (or some variation available locally):
