I like the idea of this box. However, in practice I find there is only a narrow range of jigs / bladed jigs that will stay put between the inserts.

 

Has anyone figured out a way to keep jigs and bladed jigs that slide around put? 
 

I was thinking of wrapping a rubber band around each of the dividers to see if that would help.

 

anyone have any ideas?

It is a problem...especially with hand tied jigs.  I was going to look for some type of tubing that shrinks to fit when heated. I know I have seen something like that at Home Depot but I haven’t had time to check.

I wedge the jig head and they stay put. All of my jogs are hand tied, wire band

The jig box is the best edge box IMO. Priced right and holds about 75 jigs. I have one box filled all wired tied by me. True, some of the smaller finesse jigs do not fit snug and some larger football heads can't sit next to one another. Once that lid is shut nothing moves. As far as the big football heads, use the middle of the box for the larger heads and alternate their orientation, one goes left to right the next goes right to left.

This is pretty much my experience.  When I do have fit issues, it is usually because the shirt is too thin and the jig slides in the direction of the hook, not the head.  If I replaced with a bulkier skirt, it would fit fine.  An example of a fairly common bladed jig that won’t fit well is the Jackhammer Stealth.  Out of 3 boxes, it is only an issue in 4-5 slots per box for me.  It is going to be hard to make a perfect universal box with all the jigs on the market.

I have mine filled with Siebert 3/8 oz dock rockers. They stay pretty well. None of my chatterbait stay. Not fogy’s not jackhammers not my own custom tungsten football head.

 

My swim jigs do not stay.

Most of my football head jigs do not stay.

No I don’t expect so. But often times there are some clever workarounds to expand the utility.

 

Hence, why I am asking if others have tried things to improve this.

And I agreed with you.  That’s why my first post said I was going to try some shrink tubing (and I like your rubber band idea).  The box will be perfect for some...others not.  Hence, the universal comment. I wasn’t directing it at you but more at those who have no problems.  Hopefully we will get some other ideas because I have this question as well.

I’m going to try placing a rubber band or hair tie across the top of the posts once jigs are set. You would have to remove and replace when changing baits. The thicker bands usually used to bind broccoli fit all the way across a row.

I don’t think this will work. When the baits slide, they slide through the posts.

I see where you’re coming from, especially with small ji heads. The idea came to me with the OP’s post. Gonna give it a shot in my next tourney to see how it works. I did a dry run in my garage and they seemed to hold pretty well, although the box didn’t go through all the vibration it would on a boat.

Nice box though. I store mine horizontally, that may help some. Also, I only load the jigs I think I’ll use that day.

Pricey, yes.

Holds every bladed jig without damaging it, yes.

 

Their crank bait boxes with make you a believer too.

I have the jig box packed full of bladed jigs and nothing else, they don't budge.

There you have it...lockdown ?

*I just store them in the original Foggy box they come in - I believe Mike gives each outgoing Foggy box a ancient victory  prayer of some kind before sealing it up , so I want to keep as much of that mojo intact as possible .

I'm going to try this...

I have some of their tackle boxes with this taclogic stuff in them and it works amazing, holds things in place rock solid and easy to take them out when needed. This pad is able to be cut so just cut to fit around the jigs and problem solved .

Are you going to try adding this in the Plano edge jig box?

Yes sir!

I have mine filled up with jigs (mostly Dirty Jigs) and chatterbaits (mostly project Z) and they all fit without issue.

I guess the answer is a different box or different baits... ? (thanks for the bump I guess). Lol

Don’t throw in the towel yet.  I had to reorganize to add a third box last night and my poorly fitting jigs lack the skirt fullness to hold tight in the groove behind the head.  I’m going to look for some sleeves to fit over the arms to see if I can get a tighter fit.  Outside of a few of 1/2oz jigs, it was primarily some finesse and 3/8oz jigs.  I’ll let you know if it works.

 

I’m thinking something like this that shrinks to form when heated.
