Hey guys....

I have to admit to being a bit of a bobbin tart and I have many sets but I've always struggled to find a proper way of storing them safely and securely without them banging around... anyone got any ingenious ideas or is there a ready made solution?

Thanks

My old way was to use a small tackle box for lure fishing, about 3" squarishish with about 4 partitions in which I would line with foam or EVA etc, I would put one indicator, hockey stick and chain in each partition, and the spare partions, longer or shorter chains and weights etc. These days, I just use that method for a spare set of indicators in my bag,

These days, I just leave the indicators attached to my alarms or hockey sticks and when I put the covers on, just tuck the indicator inside it or velcro them to the outside, or just leave them dangling and they get protected with the padding from the bag I put my sticks in. But, it depends on what alarms I am using

This has foam you can shape the way you want.

Don't own hangers any more but used to store them in a little hard-drive hardcase like this
