Tool and Bait Holders for the boat:

Problem:


My tools and baits have no place to go on the deck of my boat and I'm constantly looking for my pliers:

Idea:

I could purchase a tool holder for $30+ dollars or I could make one with scrap I have in my shop.  I chose scrap.

Build:

I drilled and cut slots in some angle.


Drilled different size holes for different baits.


Sprayed both pieces in Plastidip for a little grip and to protect my baits.




Installed with 3/4 inch stainless steel wood screws and some silicone to keep the seal on the wood.



Final Thoughts:

Overall this project took me about an hour plus the time for the Plastidip to dry.  I saved $30 and I can always find my pliers.  I use the bait holder for the ones I'm using that day or the ones I haven't put back into my tackle box yet.

Thanks for looking!
