Sabiki rig storage

[PescadorPete]

A piece of hyperlon, same stuff as the grip on your fishing pole. You can poke the sinker in the end.

Don't over complicate things, its not rocket science, you don't have to take your sabikis off the rod after every trip. I've had these three sabikis (aka the sabiki 250) on my rod close to or more than a year. I've never taken them off the rod and they catch bait each and every trip.

I do have an actual Sabiki stick. I'm just trying to avoid bringing another rod with me each trip. I admit this would be the best way to go because the Sabiki rig winds up inside of the rod and remains there until it's needed again. Which solves the storage and tangling issue.

But for now I'm on an old Hank Parker edition outback and the built in crappy rod holders are designed for thin bass rods and not the thicker boat rods we use for salt water. So rod storage is at a premium on my old yak.

Enlighten as to what Sabiki this might be please.. I go through sabikis faster then beer. If the rig makes it home intact, it corrodes away loosing all feathers leaving nothing but a few bare hooks. And yes I ever rinse them off.

The sabiki is custom made, literally.

I don't know if the maker of the sabiki would be interested in making one for you but if he is I'm sure he'll contact you.

Great idea! Where do you find the hyperlon?

Any tackle shop that does custom builds. Where are you? I may have some extra

I just leave it on the rod and wrap the lead around the handle once. If I ever take it off it's because it's time for a new one.

I don't use a sibiki stick either for the same reason as the other poster. But I almost always just keep the sibiki on the same rod. Lately bait has been tough so I always want a sibiki handy when bait shows. When I do need to or remove one I wrap it loosly and put in a section of a plaino but box. Also I tend to use the cheapest sibikis I can find so if they get tangled badly or lose a few hooks I just put on a new one. Mike

Thanks Hunters PA

I Just picked up a piece at Sav on tackle. And I also found another way to store them. As posted on another thread I have some old spools of seaguar floro. So I used that up and used the empty spool for the Sabiki and it worked great.
