Reader Tip: Use Paintball Holders For Quick Plug Changes

Chris Cavanaugh emailed over this great plug storage tip for anglers looking to pack along just a few lures:

This may not count as a review, but I thought people might find it useful. I was looking for something to hold a few plugs/lures, its tough to go back to the bag every time you want to change. I was looking for something I could clip on my belt and carry a lure or two, but they’re pricey. An inexpensive alternative is to use paintball tube holders. The link attached has one for $10, holds two tubes. You could use your existing tubes, but paintball ones are worth a look — they hold a good sized plug and are often spring loaded, so they open easily. Hope it helps, enjoy.
