Here are some photos of the tackle organizer I made using the suggestions of Kokonuts, MacPrince, Fall River Guy and the rest of you who contributed to the last thread on this topic.
I made a bucket tackle organizer like Kokonuts did with some modifications.
The main difference is that I made a plate out of sheet pvc to mount the pipes to, cut it to fit the inside of a bucket, and glued the pvc pipes onto it.
Materials included:
2-gallon bucket from Home Depot paint dept.
Lid for bucket
1/4 inch sheet pvc from TAP plastics junk bin
7/8 x 3/8 Urethane pipe insulation from Home Depot
1/2 inch pvc pipe
pvc glue
27/32 inch drill for holes in the bottom plate
Construction tips: A regular drill will tend to "grab" your PVC plate on the drill press, and make your holes too big. Clamp it down. Also, when you glue in the pipes, they may tend to "flop" around. Hold them straight until they stand on their own.
What I like about this is that I can remove all the tackle from the bucket at once to see what's there. I figure I can get 15 setups on it per pvc post.
I also can use some Tackle Buddys that I have in addition to the foam, but if I'd known about the foam first, I'd have skipped the Tackle Buddys.
To attach the swivel end of the leader setup to the foam, I used some "junk" hooks I have and snapped the swivel into a hook. This gives me hooks on both ends of the leader to hook into the foam.
What I don't like about this setup is that the bucket lid takes Paul Bunyan to remove it. I would have also preferred a square bucket, but couldn't find one without buying $57 worth of nails at the store.
You guys have been so helpful to me here, I hope this helps some of you. If any of you find a better bucket, please let me know.
