Salmon cannonball storage

Hey all, wondering how you store your salmon balls (for sinker release clips) on the kayak. Traditionally I use a big Tupperware or .30cal ammo can, but it wastes some space and once you take out a few balls, the remainder rattle around in the bottom terribly. I have had a few plastic containers ruined by a fishing weight sliding around and becoming a wrecking ball.

I was considering a Klein zipper bag, the hesvy duty canvas ones electrical workers like for storing and organizing small tools. They seem robust enough to do the job. Minimize rolling around, slamming into stuff, easy to grab, etc.

How do you store your balls? (Beavis and butthead laugh)

Those small canvass bags work great for me. I was using a canvass coin bag when I’d go more frequently

Yeah I use a bag with velcro. Found it in a sale bin at Claveys years ago. Maybe used for paddle boarding as it's waterproof. The only problem I could see with the Klein bags is the zipper and the salt. I think they are brass but still

Lugging around a cannonball rig seems unnecessary for salmon with all the types of setups.  I’m sure cannonballs are the old school standard.  I’m gonna lug an 8 or 10oz teardrop on a slider with a cut plug herring.  Each to his own and I hope you get a thick fat 6-8” tall off the cutting board kinda specimen.

My confidence setup since I learned to fish salmon as a kid always has been: big sinker on a release, big Dodger, tray anchovy. I was taught by my friend Tom who could catch king salmon in a drain gutter is that kings are very reactive to shiny objects and have an incredible sense of smell so make sure your presentation smells like something they are used to eating. The cut plug lure ticks both boxes on a smaller scale and i will 100% try it if I do bad with my favorite setup. They look deadly!

Yess’ah!  I have so much leftover salmon trickery.  New fbr’s, Rhys bait heads, toothpicks, cable baiters with copper wire, diy cable baiters, rubber bands, cut plug cutting boxes, endless pinched barbless hooks, krippled anchovy heads, flashers, dodgers, depth planers.  Just now trying not to get distracted amd keep it super simple.  Tie new leaders, more new hooks, bead chain swivels and a little tennis elbow repair.  Looks like I’ve got time.  Leaning toward mooching and slow pitch pretending I'm wearing shark repellent high tech chain mail undergarments.
