Hooked Up Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 What do you use for storing trolling flys? A few brands come in the tubes, but most of my favorites don't. I keep a few connected to the flasher, but many aren't, and I need to dig them out...any help appreciated.
DarkBlue Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I use swim noodles. Make a small cut and slide the knot end into it, and then wrap the fly around it and bury the hook into the foam. I use them in about two foot sections and they store easily especially if you are using single hooks.Chris
N II Deep Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 in the past I have just left them attached to flasher, but the lead becomes a mess.I'm going to try ziplock bags for now and removing them from the flashers.I like the swim noodle idea.I have seen guys use a arrow storage box, but seems a bit big and bulky, I have enough boxes in the way already
Hotdog71 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I use these snell holders from Cabelas. I think you can buy them buy 2's or as this combo. If the flies are unrigged then I just store them in a heavy duty ziplock bag that came with my tackle box. I also use the snells to hold extra leaders that I pre-tied. Those come in handy from time to time.The noodle is a great and cheap idea that works great too.
tltorrice Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I have the plastic tubes like some of the flies come in. I have Plano case they go in. I just roll up the leader and stick the fly and leader in the tube. It makes it easy to see the flies I want and does not take up too much room.
buster107 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 I use a thing called a Fly Trap. Clear tubes that I put the name of the fly on it and they fit into a clear case!!!!

miltcop Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Last year I switched to the lure lugger. I really like it. The one I bought is from big papa sportfishing products.
mattmishler Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 90% of the flies are storied in zip lock bags with out hooks or leaders. The other 10% are on flashers, when we are done we take a peice of swim noodle and cut one side so it can fit around a flasher, then we wrap the leader around that.
fishsniffer Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 i put mine in a zip up soft folder made for swim baits.
westwind Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Go to the local hardware and buy some basic pipe insulation. It's real cheap. You cut it into 2-3 inch pieces, then pull the fly through the middle and then wrap the line around the outiside and fasten with the hook to keep it from unrolling. Works great
