  Fed up with trying to find a decent hooklength box so made myself a couple, one for pole and one for feeder.

  i also made a water tight seal buy putting a thin bead of clear silicone round both rims it even causes a slight vacume as you can unclip it and turn it upside down and i dosnt open till you brake the seal with slight pressure when opening the box

  Good idea that,i did toy with the idea for a seal but im worried i may trap moisture in as well as keeping it out~think~think

  I have a (Sensas) wooden hooklength box, pins set about 8 inches apart, all I did was cut off one section of the batton with the pins one end, lever it out then re-glue it further down the box 3 inches from the other pins, can now keep my method hooklengths in there long with the others.
  
  All it cost was 10 minutes and a dab of superglue and works perfect.
