Storing Lines

[SVNeko]

Like all of you, we have a number of spare lines in various lengths and sizes. Currently, these are coiled and stored in various lockers. I am looking for ideas to better store spare lines in a more organized fashion. On Neko (as Switch 51 cat), we have deep and narrow bow lockers with a shelf on either side about halfway down. I drilled a piece of Alu angle stock with 12 holes and passed 6" bolts through them with a nut above and an eye nut below the Alu bar. Then with a small loop of rope attached to the eye bolt, I can pass it through a coiled line and loop it over the bolt sticking up. Doesn't look great, but it works. What do you do?

Hanging. So they dry. And they don't tangle. They can hang from their own tail tied to a bar, or by a loop of bungee, or whatever. Hang one-by-one, not in a bunch, or mayhem will ensue later. The mostly useless ones can be in a bag in a dry locker.

They do need to be hung and not bunched up. So that they'll dry or stay dry and not collect dirt, amongst other things.

I have a board with several bungee loops attached to hooks. I loop the bungee thru the line and lock it on the hook. Sometimes I loop thru a line, over the hook and then thru another line and back on the hook. >>> Fisheries - Product Detail
