lets see em. im got to make some more. i got an extra long one that in planning. 6ft longX8inches high. gunna use it for display/grab and go operation cause where i hang all my plugs in the celler isnt good. i hang them on the wire to the doorbell and phone and i got too many so there pulling them down and the bells isnt working right.:D i wanna sleep in the same room as them too. i think if i had 3 of those extra long ones itll hold most of my plugs as long as my bag is filled.:)

my pikie top, fixter bottom. they aint goin to water, the only 2 thatll stay that way.

I think the Whopper Stopper Salty Boogies are no longer being manufactured, but Bassmaster, myself and I think a few others have made plugs similar/inspired by the Salty Boogie.

Hey CHRISTIAN---I had a thought for a box that would show alot of plugs by making it long,narrrow, and shallow.
maybe 4in wide by 3in deep,and as long as you want.If you cut out the sides like a gun rack you can lay the plugs horizontal and still be able to take them off to look at them.
I would say u could hold 6 plugs for every foot so u cold get 30 or so plugs in a 3 ft box.
Just a thought ,hope it's helpful. :)

UT OH,I need to go back to third grade math! A 3ft box would hold 18 plugs not 30! :o :o

christian, here is one way i have some plugs displayed. i take an old beat up oar and put large staples into it to hang the plugs on. the old oars really look neat!

they are all organized by type and color. i took a large section of peg board and ran fishing line through every other hole. i then put the tail hook into the loop formed by the line. it took very little time and the end result is pretty good in my opinion.
