How Do You Keep Snelled Hooks Organized?
I have hundreds of snelled hooks in my tackle box. It’s all one big tangled cluster****. I would take the time to organize them if I had a solution to keep them organized. I have tried those spring loaded plastic things, but they don’t hold enough and I have had some break the line.
What do you do?

Comments on How Do You Keep Snelled Hooks Organized?
There are lots of products on the market to keep and organize snell hooks. I have a very old “snell library” that holds snells on a plastic rack with hook holes on one end and spring-loaded fingers on the other end — makes your snells into a stringed instrument of sorts. I think that’s what you’re talking about. Mine belonged to my grandpa and it still works very well today. However, the better and more popular way to hold snells nowadays is these foam tube things:http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores…
I don’t know if you can tell what’s going on there, but you put the hook in the foam and wrap the line around the tube. The snell eyes go into little slits to hold them snug. One like that pictured above could hold maybe 20 or so hooks if I remember right. I got one at one point but I never used it much. I just Googled the one in the link but I’ve seen them at sporting good shops and even department stores for a few bucks. The one I have was $2.99 or thereabouts.
You’re talking pre-tied hooks?
The way I did it was I stopped buying pre-tied hooks and bought loose hooks. When I need one, I tie a leader… It’s much easier.
If I were you, I would go to Walmart and get a nicer tackle box if they have one and use it for those things.
Get a wine cork and stick them all on that. Hope I helped.
I agree with chadd answer. I have a couple of them, They work great.
