Storing Traces
Spent the other evening making up a load of dead bait traces, but now I haven't got a clue how to store them without them all ending up in a tangled mess
Any suggestions greatly appreciated thanks!

Re: Storing Traces
I still use these, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gardner-Origi ... SwUuFW1Y8g and use two which is enough for hook and up traces

Easy then just to take what you need. Since using Titanium I only carry a couple of spares in my tackle box.

Pipe lagging and stored in a flip top paintball tube :) I also use the tubes for float storage :) waterproof and tough :)

Re: Storing Traces
Loop them round yer hand and twist either end around the coil (in oppose directions btw ) then throw in a sectioned box that carries all the other gear. Save room and weight rather than storing everything in different boxes and taking an age tackling up at the water

Re: Storing Traces
I have used rig bins and "pipe lagging rolls" before, but these days in order to cut down on the amount of bits/ tackle I carry I usually just store them as in the photo below.

Re: Storing Traces
I coil them up and store them in small plastic boxes in a larger Lok-tight box.
Waterproof and takes up less room than my old rig bin.

Re: Storing Traces
I don't like my lagging rattling around in a round container as I'm convinced it blunts the points,this lagging is slightly oversize so it wedges against the side of the takeaway curry container and is therefore suspended in it,even size 2's don't touch the sides.

Re: Storing Traces
Made my pike tackle box about 35 yrs ago, looking a bit battered now, but still going strong. The lid and base are lined with leather cut from an old overcoat belonging to the Mrs (She wasn't happy ) The cross pieces of the winders are covered in pipe lagging.

Re: Storing Traces
Used to use foam pipe lagging as already mentioned but now i use small zip lock poly bags. I also cut a piece of card from a cereal box and slide that in just to reduce the chances of the hooks digging into the plastic, i bend the card and slide the trace out. I keep these all in a free Angling Times reel case which is cheap and nasty and about 20 odd years old but perfect for keeping my traces altogether.
