McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2016 I decided to start writing articles on my site, instead of just video's. Check out this article on my website. Keep in mind, this is a very simple tutorial. I know most of you probably already know this trick. But incase you don't, then hopefully this will help. http://www.mcflyangler.com/vise-hook-keeper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2016 Hi Shaun , that's a great little tip for newbies......I use two pieces of magnetic tape on my vise /vice base ....the paint is a nice touch, Two is probably better, more hook holding real-estate. Another great way is using the magnet in the Umpqua hook pouches after you use all the hooks. They have magnets that already have a white top to it. You can epoxy those magnets, or super glue them to your base. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_NH 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2016 Or you can go to Walmart and for a couple of bucks buy a package of that same flexible magnet material in 4 or 5" strips that has a peel off adhesive backing and just cut it to the length you want and stick it to whatever.

vicrider 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2016 Chris, isn't that exactly what he did in the article? You say it like it's your new idea when it's exactly what he showed? Â Nice little tutorial for a beginner to pick up, or a long time tyer who just may not have thought of that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2016 Just a little constructive criticism here. A tip is suppose to be short. Way to wordy for something that could have been effectively stated in two sentences. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheech 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2016 Rare earth magnets retain hooks better. I have had the magnet tape before, but it seems like anything size 6 or larger won't stay put. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2016 Rare earth magnets retain hooks better. I have had the magnet tape before, but it seems like anything size 6 or larger won't stay put. And they are so strong, you could run them over your carpet and pick up any hooks that have fallen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retrocarp 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2016 Yeah good point Cheech the magnetic tape seems to also de-magnetize after a while ...I've replaced mine several times so maybe rare earth magnets will be my next stop if i can find someone local that sells them.

Home Depot has them. You only need the small ones and they do the trick just fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Instead of replacing the carpet, I just stained the concrete... Highly recommended. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2016 If you keep your eyes open, at Dollar Tree, Harbor Freight or Big Lots, you'll see magnetic tool/nail holders designed to be worn at the wrist or waist. These usually have long, rigid magnets that are stronger than the flexible kind. I am currently NOT in possession of a camera, so I cannot take a picture of mine. But I have 4 of them glued to my light's arm (I hang my scissors and hooks there) and several of them along the bottom of my material cabinet over the tying desk. I also have a hard-drive magnet (Neodymium) from a destroyed computer up there. It's strong enough to hold my pliers and wire cutters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
