Keeping Hook Lengths

Has anyone come accross this handy bit of kit? Its been on the market for some time now and is the ideal job for all your hook length storage. It retails at £4.99p. I have about half a dozen of them and have one for a specific size of hook. Each container holds 20 hook lengths this can be doubled if you wind them on reversed to the first layer. Having a screw lid gives you the added bonus of keeping your hooks dry.

i used to use a empty toilet roll cardboard bit , stab the hook through and winded the line round and stick the end with tape but soon and it got damp it turns into a right mess .

My mate has been using bits of pipe insulation for years - why bother to shell out a fiver when you can get a whole metre of pipe insulation for £1.
