Been looking for a new and easier way to store my jigs.
Came across a Flambeau box that looks promising looks like easy access and seperation and good for keeping jigs dry. Any other ideas out there.And looking for a good box to seperate the jigging rapulas and such have not gotten that far yet.

Rose Creek makes a mighty fine jig box.

I'll 3rd the Rose Creek boxes, they are aweasome and mine will be packed full of more jigs this year.

The new Flambeau boxes do look nice as well though!

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story....

It's the best system I've used for small panfish tackle. Some of the spots are a bit small for walleye tackle though. The clams look nice but are way to small.
FYI I believe that I have the largest model.

Rose creek for me, they fit nicely in the pocket and will hold many jigs.

thats what i liked about them, they fit easily in my pocket and if ur hole bouncing its nice to keep a bunch of jigs on u without carrying a huge box, plus is has small compartments for soft plastic bodies.

I looked at the clams but I was turned off by the price. Last year I bought a couple of boxes last year the same size for $5 a piece at Fleet Farm. Though it didnt have the foamy stick pin dealy and it didnt have the Clam name but prety much the same basis.

The Rose creek looks like a fine box. I like their system of holding the jigs, seems to be a bit more stought than using foam.

I use a Fly box, however the thing that I am really liking about the Clam boxes is the compartments for the plastics. I don't have a great spot to keep them.

I also use a fly box. The 'Double-Nubby' boxes from Cabelas are great! They come in 3 or 4 sizes, hold up to 1/4 oz jigs firmly and the cost is quite reasonable. I've dropped one of my full jig boxes and EVERY jig stayed in place! Check 'em out. Phred52

I use that exact same Flambeau box pictured and love. I can fit all my ice jigs on one half and in the other half I have it filled with about a doze spoons. Once you lay a spoon in there you have to adjust how the hooks lay, but it keep buying spoons and still haven't got to a point where I can't close (so I guess I need more spoons).

Also its a really tight seal so worries about water/snow/slush getting in and its a really hard outer shell that looks like it could really take a beating.

I highly recommend that box.
