Sportsman's Tips - August 2006

Washing lures with fresh water at the end of a fishing trip is important, but removing the ones I used from my tackle boxes was time consuming. That's why I drilled a series of holes on the bottom and along both sides of the clear-plastic boxes where I store my lures. This way, I can spray off the entire box of lures at once. The holes drain the excess water and let air circulate through the box so my lures dry more quickly.
