A SNELLED HOOK CARRIER
I usually snell my hooks myself, using torn down-eyed hooks, and let the gut dry straight by hanging up with a weight at the bottom. I make a very satisfactory book carrier as follows: A cardboard mailing tube of, say, 1/4 inches in diameter is plugged at one end by a glued piece of - inch cork. The stopper is a beveled cork, cut through lengthwise.
To the inside surfaces of the cork glue, or cement, a lining of felt, as per diagram, the felt forming a hinge at the wider end of the cork.
When on a fishing trip, moisten the felt and place several of the looped ends of the snells therein, and they will be pliable when wanted.
