The ultimate plug "bag/box". 2 gallon Mazolla oil container or something as sturdy ( I also made a 1 gallon), 6 plastic tennis ball containers, strapping, fastex buckles, pop riveter, stainless washers to fit pop rivets, velcro, rubber coated canvas, phone hand set chords. Cut off top of container slightly higher that the height of tennis ball containers, drill 1/2 inch holes in bottom of container and punch holes in all flat spots on tennis ball "cans" (I use a hot nail for this). With trimmed plastic form carriers for lip grip and long nosed split ring pliers (good to have to change plug hooks). Attach 2 waist straps (short one with 1/2 of fastex buckle), shoulder strap (this strap off center where "bag" will ride against body). You don't really need a fastex buckle on this one if only you are going to use it, but it is nice to be able to adjust the hang height. Oh...am adding a modification... 1/2 qt. oil container pop rivited to the front for leaders snaps etc. This will also have a canvas cover.
OK so what's the advantage of the fishdoc bag? Oops..not really a fisdoc bag I saw something like it some where??? 1. Water drains out when hit by wave (actually little gets in If I remember to close the canvas). Besure to close canvas if wading deep...surface plugs will float away 2 At end of day I simply run water into the container faster than it can drain 'till filled to the top, let water drain and hang bag opened on the deck. I have NEVER had a rusty hook, cakey salt buld up or rotting, soaked canvas. Last seasons plugs are still in this "bag"...not a single rusty hook. I use VMC's and stainless and brass everything else. I've had Mustads discolor but no heavy rust.
