Sinker Organizer

[AlloyToy]

How do you guys organize & keep your sinkers separated??? Looking for Ideas?? Right now a big plastic box just ain't doin it......I have on my boat 1/2 oz bank up to 21 oz. bank sinkers.......

I use the 1 gallon size buckets stored under one of my side seats, plus I have some a bin hung on the inside the back doors which access storage...bins are from a restaurant supply house... they are used to hold bar stock bottles,,,heavy duty plastic with dividers...I drilled some holes in the bottom so I can rinse off sinkers in the bin when finished for the day.
Sometimes these are call speed racks or rails...Capt PJ

Edit: I also use the silverware plastic holders used in commercial washers get at supply house...they are white nylon stuff with lots of holes...hung on the inside of the door also...it is raining and I'll take a pic of the bar rail later. in picture it is over exposed but you can see the shadow of the holes on the door back.

The white bin on the inside I got at Ikea many years ago and it was in my garage doing nothing until now.

Some more images now that the rain has stopped.

Those small buckets (probably only 1/2 gallon size not gallon as stated above they were jam pails I got at Costco many moons ago...good berry jam came in those pails) are inside food storage square plastic cans that I got at the supply house..they will not break like household plastic and you don't have to buy the lids which I didn't need. Plus the flat surface allows a box to sit on top.
This is the speed rail on the inside of my door.
Other home made storage bins around the boat...cannot have too many places to stash things when fising and things are happening.




This pot thing was from Ikea and is very handy. Capt PJ

PS I sure hope this gives you some ideas as it was a real pain to post..the images kept getting screwed up! Each time I posted and image had to preview and then post the next one.

Very organized I like the small bucket idea...I wish somebody made a circular divider that fit into the buckets dividing it like a pie

Been trying to put my Pacific on a diet........ it is amazing of all the weight it accumulates. For Now Weights go into large Plastic peanut butter Jars.

Ya wantz simple AlloyToy???????

Get a heavy duty cotton canvas bag, toss sinkers in it and throw it in your under gunnel "SHELF", thats all I do. Holds mega amounts of 2-12oz. Bank sinkers and lots of eggs.

I went all BAGS. They can get wet and who cares, they take the shape of the area stored. They provide a NO banging around.

I went to Harbor Freight the chinese tool store aned bought many moons ago a few paks of (3) pak of canvas bags for cheap. Every once in a blue moon I add a bit of LUBE to the zippers, just incase. But it works.....if ya have SHELVES. I love me shelves!

All great ideas

I cut the top half off rectangular base plastic juice bottles. They fit in my under gunnel shelves snugly. Drill a few holes in the bottom so they drain. Sinkers are visible & easy to grab.
Downside is that the plastic is not UV stable & needs to be replaced every year.
Upside is that the bottles are free once you have drunk the juice & it is
quick & easy to replace them.

I also have mini pvc tubes about 8 in with caps on them that fit in the gunnels. I would post a pic but i'm computer challenged.
