Squid jig case?

[Ilovebreams]

Just wondering what does everyone use for storing their squid jigs. Does it matter if soft or hard case? I used to store mine in the original boxes but it's getting quite messy. Saw the Emeraldas case at CA which looks ok but don't know if it's any good for its price.

Hey mate,
I use one of the yamaDohDohDohDoha cases. Mines got around 20 jigs atm and it can hold more. They are pretty pricey for what they are, i think theyre like 35 in tackle stores. My cousin used the emeraldas one and he reckoned it bent the prongs on the jigs. Ive also got one of the clear ones from compleat, anglertec or something i think they are made by. Its ok, but a bit bulkier and only holds 12 jigs.

I recommend the yama cases if youre willing to spend around 30 bucks. The cases are a good way to organise your jigs though, much tidier. Even one of the CA cheapies like ive got is ok and theyre not much more than $10

Hmm fair enough... I've only seen the Emeraldas in CA or DohDohDoh, good thing I didn't buy it...

The Bum bag looks ok too. Might have to get it online then....

Cheers guys!

We've got the Daiwa Emeraldas EGi Case and the Yamash ita Eging Stocker. Like the look of the Berkley bags

+1 for the bent points on the jigs, with the daiwa cases.

find the shaimano sephia cases with the interlocking teeth style plastic triangle sleeves by far the best cases. store around 10 jigs per cases. they also work well for storing largish metal slices and hard bodies.

Yea bought the Shimano case from CA. Looks good but only fits 10 jigs. Hopefully the triangle-plastic holder doesn't crack.

i've got the sephia bag, holds 30 jigs. awesome little bag for the days i can't be arsed with a pack.

not bad for carrying the planos for HBs around when wading either.

ive got an emeraldas squid jig holder and its fine. Havent had any prongs get damaged or anything. Only problem is I have too many jigs and not enough bags...

I have one breaden mini case which holds about 10 jigs, have this one clipped to my belt, also use Gold feeling, evergreen and emeraldas cases. I prefer the gold feeling ones as they are similar to a pencil case so you can fit more in or they can be compacted slightly. i store them all in a evergreen hip/shoulder bag

Not too impressed with the emeraldas bag. Ive found that some jigs e.g the harimitsu dont sit in there too well due to having a weight that is too wide for the cuts in the foam. And the prongs do bend aswell unless you own the yo-zuri jigs which have a thicker hook. I only bought it because of the name and the colours pretty. lol

Any pics of the different cases?

Old Plano 3700 trays without many dividers. Small jigs 1.8-2.2 and some 2.5's can fit 2 per slot in the larger sections on the "handle" side. 3+ just sits in a "custom sized" slot around the rest of the box. As most of my squiding/egiing is done it the boat, the trays slot in the side pockets perfectly, or can be stacked like you normally would in a hatch.

Best of all, no damage to the jigs at all in my experience
