How is everyone storing their spoons? Do they make box similar to a jig box? Currently have mine stored in a clear plaino box but it is just not working for me.

Here's what I use: https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=360672.msg3863561#msg3863561 (https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=360672.msg3863561#msg3863561)
Plus a bunch of other ideas: https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?action=search2 (https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?action=search2) Just type in "spoon storage".

Basic clear 3600 series for me. My spoons are made by ME and i know my clear isnt going to chip when they touch each other. Slight pain to get one out but not as bad as a crank.

I use three of these (they are the large size ones) :

Thanks for the info, that clam box looks like just the ticket.

I have the small clam spoon box...latches on them are junk so expect them to break with minimal use

The old style Plano/cheapie KO latches never last. I have yet to break a Plano Pro-Latch.

If you got this within the last year I would contact customer service : [email protected] and let them know want happened. they should take care of it as long as it has been less then a year. I run three of the large size boxes since last season and haven't had a broke latch.
here is the warranty form you would need to fill out :

Ive used clam boxes for years and have never had one break. They are usually bouncing around in my sled under the auger and everything else.

I made my own.

Like the storage for the Gulp jars jbird! :thumbsup: Hope the Sterlite treats you better than it has me. The price point was always attractive but I never found them particularly durable, especially in the cold. But I can be pretty hard on my stuff sometimes... ::)

I second the clam boxes. They have worked well for me.

I try not to throw it around too much. It's in a Cabela's bag most of the time with a Plano 3700 thin box. The sterlite latches are not the strongest. They tend to want to flip open on their own. But I was going for inexpensive compared to the boxes I've seen online. I really like the Gulp! 1 inch minnows. But not so much that the jars leak. Have to clean out the box every so often.
-
Gulp containers are the worst. Big jar, small jar, pouch... They all leak. Even the Plano jars intended for the liquid soaked Gulp. Leaky, leaky, leaky. I had to get some silicone O-rings to get the Plano jars to stop leaking. I think the last Plano ones I saw had silicone seals so perhaps they've solved it if Berkley hasn't.
