"Pool noodles"

[JWheeler]

That's the same thing I store crawler harnesses on. It works fantastic. I would assume that fly storage on a noodle would be just as effective.

Ok. So do you bury the hook and pin the leader end some how? Thanks, guys!

[DarkBlue]

I cut a slit in the noodle and bury the end of the line in it and then wrap the flu around it and bury the hook. Works very well.

I start with the tag end, wrap it around the noodle, and then burry one barb into the noodle. As I'm wrapping the line around the noodle I overlap so the line doesn't come loose. I have used toothpicks in the past to secure the tag end to the noodle

Jason I have tried to tell a couple friends the same way and they argue with me !! I like doing the same way you store them!! They like putting the hooks in first and try to tuck the tag end underneath the wrapped line what comes loose !!

[Chummer]

I do as Jason does. At least in this case!

Same as Chris , cut 1/4 inch slit around noodle about every inch then I take a permanent marker color in knife slit so its easy to find. Put tag end in wrap line then bury hook, no line exposed that way.

I leave all of my flies tied to the attractor they go with. I make flasher files to store the combos. I use Big Weenie flies so the spares stay in the bags and get stored in a Plano box.

We use the pool noodle too, but we put a string through it and hand the noodle horizontally. We then take our flies and hang them by the hook. This lets the leaders hang down, and the flies hang upside down.

I do the same thing.

So do you just wrap the leader around the flasher?

YEP just wrap it around and into the flasher file. Just about every spin doctor or paddle I have has a fly attached.

I have stored mine individually in ziplock sandwich bags, keeps them separated, and is easy to store and view

I bought the dreamweaver Plano box that has tubes with caps for both ends. It's really nice for seeing all the flies and keeping them organized but its time consuming to put them into the tubes. I think I'm going to try attaching the flies to the paddles and wrapping them an then keeping spare flies in the tubes. I like the pool noodle idea, but I have a small boat and the tube box is space friendly.

Same here. Just wrap the leader loosely so it doesn't kink.

Another way to do it is cut a small swim noodle in 2" long or so pieces, cut one side to make a C, put that over your flasher and wrap the leader around it and stick the hook in it. Lets you just throw flasher/fly combos in a container with minimal tangles when you pull one out.

Gonna have to try that sounds like a good idea.

Hybrid ideas... Big fan of this.
