Lure Covers
Since we all have experienced treble hook baits grabbing everything in sight-other rods, tackle bags, boat carpet, the occasional curious dog, cuffing your pant legs together(not me, but it wouldn't surprise me if it happened), exposed flesh-you get the idea. Anyway, I stumbled on this a couple of years ago, made some and have been using them ever since, and they work like a charm!
http://www.bassproradio.com/Articles/Covers.html I got material light enough to write on them what the bait is-lipless, shallow, deep, DD-22, topwater, etc. Now I just need to look at the wrap to know what the bait is without unwrapping each one. Simple solution to a common problem.

Nice post reb, thanks for the tip. Much cheaper than buying hook covers. It's amazing what people think of.

Nice one Reb. I wish you would have posted this last year, I went out and bought 5 or 6 covers from BPS.

Thanks for the tip. I'm fond of saying that my crankbaits will hook and hold anything but a bass including, like you say, my clothes, my friends clothes, car seat, cat, dog, hats, you name it.
