You don’t always want to take your lure off your rod when you’re done using it or switching rods. Most rods have a nice little eye (sometimes called a fish hook keeper) down by the handle for you to hook your lure to to keep it tight to the rod. But (for some strange reason) some rods don’t have this. We’ve got a simple fix.

Take one of your old lures and take the split ring (the loop that attaches your hook to the lure) and attach it to your rod (near the handle) using a zip tie and voila.

This hack will take you all of about 3 minutes to do and can save you from tangled rods and, even worse, injury.

This is one of the coolest and simplest tackle organizing tips we’ve seen.

Using a safety pin to store and keep your fishing hooks separate.

We’ve all been there, with a snagged or tangled line when, you know for a fact, there’s a fish in the area. You need to re-tie a new hook in a hurry and get your line back in the water.

Every second counts because time is off the essence. The last thing you want to do is fight tangled hooks in your tackle box. One thing we know for certain, you’ll never catch a fish when your line isn’t in the water.

Having a well organized fishing tackle really does help – especially when you’re flustered, frustrated and in a hurry.

Using a safety pin to organize and keep your hooks from getting tangled is one of the best (and cheap) tackle organizing tips that every angler should use.

So do it now. Go to that drawer in your house that has all the odds and ends in it. Grab a couple of safety pins and organize your fish hooks. It’ll take 5 minutes now and save you hours (over time) on the water.

Fish hook storage isn’t the only thing fishing related you can do with a safety pin. Check out this article from The Camping Survival Blog on how to make a fish hook from a safety pin.
