Sportsman's Tips

Get a Grip
Clear-plastic lure boxes work great for holding my tackle""until the boat starts rocking. Then they slide around and leave a mess when one spills. To keep them in place, I cut pieces of rubberized grip fabric, often used to line drawers, and glue them to the bottom of my boxes with contact cement. Whether I rest the box on my lap or the console, the fabric stops it from sliding. Now I can focus on fishing instead of picking swivels and sinkers off the deck.
