I have frustrating trouble with Seps bead containers. No matter how careful I am when I try to close the package the beads go flying everywhere. At this point with new ones I just dump them out to get it over with, and not finding them all makes it easier to close them up.

I was thinking of putting the different sizes into a small sectioned tackle tray but wanted to see if anyone has a great idea for controlling these little beasts.

I’m about to get one or two of these to organize swivels and snaps and crimps
They’ll work good for beads too I bet

Why not just a small ziplock for those beads.
Put them where you want to store them.

I'd love to have a chat with whomever designed those seps containers cause the same thing happens to me every time  :smt044

I had some other baggies (no, not those kind) for swivels or weights or something and I put them in there.  There is a hole in the bag just the right size to pop one out when I need it, so I do that.  Still, I keep everything in a container when assembling, cause those mf's go everywhere if you drop them.

I feel your pain. You pop open those packs and the dam things go everywhere! Just go to your local craft store. They'll have an assorted sizes of bead boxes for only a few dollars.

I like to use these tackle binders from bass pro for my Kokanee gear. I’ve got one binder for all of my lure build materials (beads, blades, squid skirts, etc…) and then others for the pre-tied stuff. I also like to use small diameter foam tubes to store all of the stuff already tied up and on a leader. One of my tackle binders is just that, a mess of foam sections with a bunch of spinners and squidies wrapped on them

I store most of my loose tackle at home in deli cups, big and small. When on the go, I keep extra beads and hoochies and disks and stuff in tiny tupperwares.

+1 for the pill containers, may just have to use that. I have tons of extra beads though, that may only be enough for small batches.

Many fishermen spend their lives chasing fish, only to realize that it was themselves that they were chasing.

The "Salty" in my handle refers to my attitude, not the waters I fish

Tip: When building lures, I do all my work in a shallow baking sheet. That keeps those pesky little parts from rolling away. I learned this the hard way when my wife stepped on a #4 hook that found its way to the carpet.

Good idea, I use shallow baking sheets when servicing reels. The picture I posted was this last weekend when I was re-tying my newly acquired kokanee lures. Looking forward to going out again.

Plano makes the edge series of boxes. They make small containers that fit into the large boxes. They have different sizes. The small containers have lids and some have little dividers too. Great for storing hooks/swivels/beads/etc.

When I fish floats I carry one of these.

I'd image this would work perfectly to dispense the beads because it's meant for 6mm round BBs if it's a common problem.  I used to use these as a kid when playing with airsoft guns. https://www.amazon.com/Ludex-Airsoft-Capacity-Magazine-Adapter/dp/B0BB22RWQM $7

That's inventive!  Think I have one of those loaders still (looking for it  :smt044 )

Thank you everyone for all of the ideas. I looked on Amazon, and they have lots of craft bead storage containers to think about too.
