Idea 9: Rugged Tactical Fishing Lure Kit Jar
How to Make
The rugged tactical fishing lure kit jar offers a highly practical, waterproof tackle solution designed to keep delicate artificial flies, sharp fishhooks, and brass swivels organized during outdoor trips. This concept features a small container wrapped in a layer of clear waterproof sealant tape, keeping a small collection of essential fishing gear completely safe from lake water. The addition of a heavy-duty brass swivel snap clip attached to the cap allows the kit to clip directly onto his fishing vest loops or belt straps for fast access. This style handles wet conditions exceptionally well, as the internal plastic chamber never rusts, keeping valuable fishing hooks sharp and clean.
To build this compact fishing tackle kit, thoroughly sanitize a three-inch plastic medicine bottle, ensuring the interior is completely dry and odorless. Cut a small square of soft green felt fabric, gluing it flat onto the lower interior floor of the bottle to serve as a soft cushion for hook tips. Insert three artificial fly lures, two lead split-shot sinker weights, and three brass barrel swivels neatly into the lower chamber space. Drill a small four-millimeter hole through the center of the plastic safety cap, inserting a short stainless steel machine screw from the underside upward. Thread a heavy-duty marine-grade brass swivel snap clip onto the protruding screw threads, locking the assembly tight with a nylon locking nut. Smear a thin layer of waterproof silicone caulk around the screw head to seal the hole completely before twisting the cap onto the tackle jar.
