5 Beer Coozie Hacks [VIDEO]

Hack #1: Wrap pre-tied leaders or sabiki rigs around your foam coozie
Just stick the hooks in the coozie, wrap the line around it, and secure it.
This will save you from a lot of line tangles and headaches!
Hack #2: Store hooks and lures in your foam coozie
This is an easy way to keep the lures you plan on using often close by without having to dig into a tackle box to get them.
Just dig the hook into the top of the koozie and put the lure inside of it.
Hack #3: Use foam coozies as a float for your gear
These coozies are pretty buoyant, so you can tie tools like pliers and fish grips to them without worrying about them sinking.
Hack #4: Use your neoprene coozie as a glove
If you need to grab braid or leader, you don’t want to worry about it cutting into your hand, and you don’t have gloves, wrapping your neoprene coozie around your hand is a great alternative.
Hack #5: Store your spools of leader in a coozie
This makes it easy for you to pull out leader without it getting all over the place.
It works with both types of spools.
Conclusion
I hope these beer coozie hacks help make life easier for you on the water!

I use my SaltStrong coozie as a phone protector when I’m fishing.
Also a great use! I just realized after making this video it fits perfectly over my Go Pro as well. So i now use it as a splash protector to keep the lens clean.
Cool. Thanks Tony!
My pleasure Henry!
NICE!!
COOLL BEANS GUYS
Thanks Ref!
Great ideas! I also use my stretched out neoprene coozies over reels to protect them when in my truck.
Good stuff! I’ll have to try that out as well!
This is very useful! Great ideas!!!!
Thank you for the great feedback Ron!
Never thought about that, Great Video, Thanks Tony
Thanks Jerry!
I use the black pipe insulation that looks like a pool noodle for storing my leaders and rigs. Cut into a foot/storage box length. I put toothpicks into the foam to hook the swivels/loops on, wrap the line around then insert the hook into the foam. I group types of rigs on different foam noodles.
Good stuff Rich!
Great ideas, and I certainly have an abundance of koozies. I use sections of noodles, pool floats, for storing hooks. Also wrap my connection for my kayak battery cable extension with a noodle section.
Thank you for the great feedback John!
Nice Video Tony. I’ve been using the thin Koozies for some time on my leader materials. I do it a little differently… I cut the Koozie to the width of the spool. I then have my wife run the seam where it is connected together on her sewing machine. I found after cutting them they can start to come apart. I then cut a hole in the middle of the “band” and slip the tag end through it and then place it around the spool. I can get multiple spool covers from one Koozie, and they are easier to store.
Don’t forget the sewing the seam…. they will come apart in most cases if you do not. I first tried glue, but it gets stiff and does not hold up as well.
Thanks Joe! Good stuff!
