        Hi guys
        Planning to get more efficient next year and I’m going to tie up a load of hooks over the winter. Can anyone recommend a good hooklength box of around 250mm (10″).

        Cheers

            I’ve had my Buffy hooklength box for about 9 months now and overall happy.

            One word of warning though, I left it out in the sun during a match this summer and when I opened it, Horror!! all of the wooden boards with the pins attached had come unstuck!
            Ended up with a birds nest of over a hundred hooklengths, which the lads thought was quite funny !!

            I re-glued it myself and not had any probs since.

            Not sure if this has happened to anyone else??

                    Yep, my glue melted as well. Hopefully they are aware of this and have changed the glue they use….not very good really~think

                      Same for me,hundreds of hooks in atotal mess!

                      Re-glued & no probs since,not that i’ve been out much.

                      Have started re-using the Preston Plastic boxes though,shame they don’t do a larger version.

                            I have some choppy hook boxes – wooden with pins, bought them from Matchman Supplies. Not personally had a problem with the glue but I know others who have. I also use the blue plastic Preston ones but I am interested in the new MAP ones so I will wait for those to come out.
