Fishing Tackle Boxes

Review by Byron Servies:

I have not been fishing since I was a boy, but these days have many hobbies with lots of small parts. These storage boxes fit nicely in my closet, are attractive and decently made.

The first unit I purchased was returned for exchange, as it had a crack in the front panel (probably happened during shipping). But it allowed me to evaluate that the box was perfect for my small electronics parts and another for sewing materials. Plano includes a form in the box to purchase little brass plaques for .50 and I think they add a nice touch to an already nice unit.

Make sure you know how big this tackle box is. It is very small (see dimensions in the description above). I didn’t realize this until I saw it in person at a store. It looks to be perfectly fine, but it was too small for my needs.

Review by Amp:

I ordered this for my mother who is an amateur fisherman in the Florida panhandle, and she absolutely adored this box!

Review by Amelia T:

Review by Michael S. Owen:

I’m just a week-end fisherman. I had a smaller Plano box which did well when I went out a couple of times a year. I now go almost every week-end and I do more than a hook and worm. This box is perfect for anyone who fishes like I do. Just above a hook and worm. I experiment with artificial baits now and this does the trick. Not to big not too small. I recommend this HIGHLY. Sincerely Michael S. Owen….

I don’t fish, but I do bead. I was tired of all of the different things I was using to store beads so I ordered this box in order to have everything in one box. It worked perfectly for me needs. Sturdy, plenty of compartments, etc. I put my tools in the top, beads and findings in various drawers, etc. It came quickly and I am very pleased.

Review by Corey Scott:

I bought this tackle box to replace my old Plano box that’s about 3x this size. I bought some extra drawers for it, and i store tackle for different types of fishing in each one. Going backpacking? I’ll through in my stream and lake fishing drawers. Salmon fishing? Swap out a drawer for my salmon tackle drawer. It leaves me with a smaller/lighter tackle box, that stores EVERYTHING i need, meanwhile storing NOTHING that i don’t need for that particular trip!

The quality is excellent. Several times, I have forgotten to bring a chair, and used the tacklebox as a seat for hours on end, and it is still in 100% condition.

Review by D. Grooms:

I’d love to have a nickel for every kid that had one of these for his/her first tackle box. Chances are, it was a filthy mess when the kid got it, and he or she cleaned it up and had it shining the first time they took it out to the creek bank. I don’t have any kids, but I recently gave mine away to a friend who is getting into fishing for the first time. This tackle box is great for someone just starting out, or for the person who has to make themselves carry as little gear along as possible, otherwise, they’d bring everything in their garage. Durable, with plenty of room for an extra spool of line, pliers, knife, and gloves, along with plenty of room for lures, hooks, sinkers, etc. You can’t go wrong with this one.

Review by Clayton Jensen:

Thought it looked like a decent tackle box until the first time I knocked it over. Even though it was closed, nothing stays in the top tray due to the high lid. It does not close off the top tray like it does the other 2, so even if you are a little rough with it everything jumps around and is a complete mess when you open it back up.

Review by Oldtechnohobbiest:

Well, needless to say–after reading my title, THIS box works just fine for organizing all my electronic cigarette equipment. So let’s get with it;

1. I measure 17 inches wide, 11 inches deep, 5 1/10 inches high. (big enough for all my equipment.

2. Transparent lid so I can see inside without opening–effective dust cover either way. I like the shade of blue.

3. If you look at the picture at the top of the page, you will just barely see white streaks going left and right–these are the dividers between each section. (the up and down dividers are not visible to me and can be removed to make each section ‘longer’) There are five sections divided up as you can see. In the bottom level there are five more stretching clear across this container from left to right (no big area in there unlike the top level. All these sections can be lenghtened or shortened but can not be made deeper.

4. Look at the picture again, you see that slightly whiter area to the far left–under the lid? That is one big section. It measures roughtly 7 inches by 10 and 1/2. Good, I can put big things in there like clippers, magnifying glass, scissors, etc..

5. The rought distance from the floor of the top section to the underside of the lid is approximately 2 1/2 inches.

six. Visually, this container gives the impression of being as big as an attache’ case–a pretty big one.

7. Sturdy construction all around.

8. Both the top and bottom levels latch off differently from each other.

9. If you buy this thing to hold all your fishing tackle–you must be a pro cause this thing can hold a ton of stuff!

10. The handle seems sturdy enough, but if it should break, it’s not put in there in such a way as to make it impossible to replace. Pretty simple actually.

11. The ‘pins’ running through the ‘henges’ are about the same dimension as coat-hanger wire. Stronger of course, but probably easy to replace.

CONS;

1. There is no ‘real’ cons here, but let me add this. After looking closer at the unit I noticed breather holes running down both sides–hard to spot at first. This is good to evaporate those wet lures. However…not so good for floating–if it’s upside down in the water. (oldtechno’s will never see a river or smell fish).

Finally;

I got mine for nineteen dollars and change. (I forget what the shipping and handling was). For those of you who use them for fishing tackle, or like me to put all your e-cigarette equipment in…this thing is huge on the inside–I’ve got eight or nine hundred dollars of juice and equipment in there and one third of the bottom level is empty and some of the top. Those of you who are fishermen…there’s enough fishing tackle space in there for a boyscout troop.

I consider this a great buy.

Review by Linda Snider:

4 years ago, my husband and I purchased 2 of those tackle boxes, we liked them so well that we have everything organized in all the spaces available for our lake fishing. Then we decided to buy 2 more for salmon fishing. We love those boxes. If you like to find your tackles in your box when you need them,that is the best one to have. We love fishing.
