How to Make a Fishing Lure Box

Those dedicated to the sport of fishing are also dedicated to their lures, reels and other special equipment. Finding the right box to fit items collected over the years is not always easy. Make a fishing lure box that suits the kind of fishing you do-or just the kind of person you are.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Plywood for framing and drawers, depending on style chosen

1. Spread out the lure collection to help you determine the size of lure box to make.

2. Decide if you want the fishing lure box to be portable so it can go along on an expedition, or simply for storage at home where you can see everything and put selected items in the tackle box.

3. Consider an apothecary cabinet for an at-home lure box. The drawers are often the right size, and you can easily make one from a wood plywood frame and insert wooden shelves and drawer slides.

4. Make a wooden fishing lure box for saltwater fishing. Metal boxes can rust after a short time because of the weather. Fashion one with a large bottom drawer, then add two or three smaller drawers on the next few layers, topped by a flat surface for working on lures or even a spot for the rod.

5. Adapt an item from another use to make a fishing lure box. An old shoeshine stand kit has the drawers and flat top surface that work. For home storage, a set of drawers for CDs is perfect.

Tips & Warnings

• Look at the expensive fishing lure boxes to get ideas when you make your own. Generally, the box is a frame with the right-slider mechanism and drawers, which you can find easily at any store. It's all about the design, depending on how you want to use the lure box and the kind of fishing you do.
