They sound about perfect then Homer I've never been in a Wilkinsons store but may be tempted to find one!

Re: Floats and split shot
I too use Wilko for some boxes. Mostly for leads/feeders/spinners.
However Raaco boxes are much better fit in holding thing separately.
Boxes come in various sizes - various sized compartments - lockable as well. Just like all the named anglers one - but a box with no name!

They probably are but I have an inbuilt aversion to high streets, shopping and indeed the general publicHomer Simpson wrote: ↑Tue Jul 13, 2021 5:50 pmI had assumed they were on every high street.
You live and learn.
If you are struggling, I can get you one and post it.
That's a very kind offer though Homer I really should make the effort to get out amongst the throngs of idiots more....would there be any chance you could post up a picture before I dust off my tin shopping hat, urban combat fatigues and uncommon sense shield ?

Re: Floats and split shot
I have yet to work out posting pictures on here.
To minimise your discomforture head for the DIY section as I think they are sold to put screws etc in. There are three sizes and very cheap that you might have a use for several.
.ps I also have just looked on their website but can't see them there.

Re: Floats and split shot
This has done me well for the last two years. I have a couple of packets of loose hooks and some hooks to nylon plus a small cork hook link board. There are a few small ledgers, floats, shot, scissors, spool of hook link line, disgorger and a plastic box for bits and pieces.
It started life as a cigar box.

Re: Floats and split shot
I still have a Stewart box.Liphook wrote: ↑Tue Jul 13, 2021 4:47 pm Some good suggestions above. I've hung on to 3 sizes of the grey plastic Stewart tackle boxes from my childhood. The smallest is the one I most often carry in my cycle panniers and would be ample for your needs. A large elastic band stops it opening when navigating the numerous potholes that blight all of our local roads!

Now that idea I'm certainly going to steal/copy, I like that a lot, perfect for a couple of hours fishing for crucians after work, or anytime reallyMole-Patrol wrote: ↑Tue Jul 13, 2021 6:54 pm
