Dollar Store Dubbing Dispenser, It's only $1!

Postby Jubs » Thu Feb 18, 2010 6:12 am

I was at the Dollar Tree a couple of weeks ago looking for different things that I could use for tying as I had read accounts of finding various things at places like these. While I was there I came across an AM/PM 7 day pill box, when I saw it I thought I could use this for something other than meds. ( Ghost I am sure has a TON of these already :rofl:) At first I was thinking hook storage for smaller fly hooks (which they will work great for if you buy in bulk like I do), then I remembered my Ice Dub box that I bought awhile back and after seeing empty ones selling for around $10 I figured I would make my own.

Parts list:
Pill box
Drill
1/4" drill bit
Ruler/straight edge (if you want to line up holes or you can eyeball it)
Label maker if you want to stay organized (like I do).

Here is the Ice Dub Dispenser for the idea we are trying to duplicate

The drawer that my dubbing was stored in was full of fluffy bags of dubbing and now I filled just under 2 of these as I am still building my dubbing collection and have 2 more boxes drilled and ready to go (31 more bags of dubbing with the empty compartments in all of the boxes) that will more than double my storage in the same amount of space.

Well thats why you have to do some research and have your tying planned out. You just tie up patterns each day on that color and switch to the next in the evening, its really quite simple... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: If you break the rules and use a different color when you're not suppose to them they come and take your meds... I mean dubbing away.


Thanks everyone I am glad you like it. I know I like using the Ice Dub one as it is easy to just grab a pinch and not have to fuss with a bag and it makes it much easier to get just a little bit at a time without having to half your pinch as often.

Great idea. I am not too handy with dubbing, but I have a couple of those pill buddies that are perfect for sorting blades, split rings, crane swivels, hooks, and more. All in one handy dandy spot! All of my dubbing is still in the original packaging. I can't get my fingers to dub... :banghead:
