Well I finally figured out how I am going to make my haging swimbait compartments in my boat. I bought some 3/16 aluminum rod on Ebay and will be sliding split rings on to them that have those snaps for quick lure changes on them. I will then put tie wraps on both ends so nothing slides off. I will screw some King starlite xl around the top 2 sides of my tackle locker in my boat after it is notched for the rods on the top edge. I will also divide the compartment so that each bar has its own bay for lures to reduce hook tangles and sway. I will then divide that bay in half and notch that panel that runs the opposite way of the rods. This will support the rod in the middle. This set up will allow me to pull the rods out without anything sliding off and allow me to lay it on the deck and pull the swimbait off the snap. I have the plastic King Starlite board for the dividers and I bought 12- 3/16 x 4' aluminum rods for $12.00 all I need to do is get the split rings and the snaps. This will give me storage for at least 100 hanging swimbaits
Peace, Rich
