    Storing Drop shot rigs?

    Any tips on keeping these pre rigged rigs? I am not talking about when they are already on the rod but the rigs I pre made.

    Thanks in advance.

    I store mine on a dishwashing sponge. I tie a swivel, the hook and no weight. take a picture hanging nail and stick it through the swivel and into the top of the sponge. wrap the line around and then stick the hook into the sponge. I leave the tag end loose. you can wrap 6 or so rigs like this....

    I use a deal called a Lindy Rigger...its for wrapping wormharnesses around. Has worked like a charm for three years

    I use one of the "swim-noodles" my grandkids have for the pool... just cut to a length I want. Hooks stay imbedded so no danger there. I do the same for pre-rigged C-rigs I make up.

    Re: Storing Drop shot rigs? (afishaday)

    PJ, I sent u a pm on another matter.

    Funny, I thought about the sponge and thought a lil bigger. I ended up grabbing a piece of circular pipe insulation and cut 2 small holes, tied a open swivel to some brain and threadeed the braid through the holes. My prerigged drop shot rigs have a swivel so I hooked that on the open swivel tied to the top. hook embeds in insulation and the tag end fits in the slot at the bottom of the insulation. I opened up the 2 pieces that were initially stuck together with the adhesive they come with.
    works well (I think). a lil long but fits in my front tackle storage fine.
    Funnier, the swim noodle is along the same line!
    Thanks to all!

    I don't store them. It only takes a few seconds to rig one up.
