New jig totes

[walleyescrounger]

I new jig tote from gruv fishing was at I-cast . They have a website but the have not hit the market quit yet. They use a silicone material to grip jigs and have a magnetic closing lid. They have come out with a crankbait box that uses this technology. I'm unsure of pricing but they look like very functional boxes.

Those are nice, do you know if they hold jigs on both sides or just the one?

They just hold jigs on one side. The silicone insert isn't a new thing to fly boxes but this company is expanding it to larger lures and crankbaits. Here is there crank box and large jig box. The large jig box in the one pic is being used as a hook box.

Neal everything old is new again. Right after World War II Dan Gapen came out with a series of fly boxes that used magnets as closers. I have one a joy to use. The box is cedar and stays closed little heavy to carry around. The cedar repelled bugs. Looks as though Dan was years ahead of his time or maybe these people are just getting up to speed. At any rate nice boxes.

It seems the fishing world revolves around what is old is new again. That's one reason I like to study the pioneers like Cap Kennedy and get back to the KISS principle.
Keep it simple stupid.

Neal if you want to see a original go to the Iowa Maritime Museum. Cap's fly box is there. I donated it to them. Kathy gave it to me after Cap passed. It belongs to the people not me. At times I feel so Darn old but these reminiscing make me like a young pup again. I keep casting for the river walleyes know there are around just not yet. Weather is still to warm for the fall bite. Another cold front moved thru this morning. One day soon and I will have walleye to eat. Livers and cheeks first on toast then pan fried fillets in butter. Just hope I can score some elephant ear mushrooms to eat with them.

I'm wanting to make Iowa a stop on my 2018 summer vacation . I want to stop by
the museum. You tube has a pretty good video on it and they show the case
that caps stuff is in. Humboldt would be on my radar to visit you to talk about putting
my writings together on the fishing legends of the iowa Great Lakes .
