Super User tomustang Posted April 12, 2012 Super User Posted April 12, 2012 Whatever they call them, seems like there's a hundred names for them now. What are the good brands similar in size to planos 3750? Is there a chart for series numbers and sizes? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted April 12, 2012 Super User Posted April 12, 2012 Flambeau 5000 series are similar to Plano 3700: http://www.flambeauoutdoors.com/fishing/default.asp?p=Details&c=FRESH+AND+SALT+WATER&s=TUFF+TAINER&i=5007 Quote
Super User tomustang Posted April 14, 2012 Author Super User Posted April 14, 2012 I just checked them out, they look a lot more durable then the planos, I have to figure out how I need for now Quote
ChrisAW Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 I don't like the Flambeau's. They came with my soft side box, and I threw them all in the storage closet and replaced them with Plano's. They flexed too much, the corners of one of them opened up enough to start letting my weights fall out. The latches are easily unsnapped, even just coming undone when I grip the box near the latches. This caused a very unfavorable problem one day with about 30 crankbaits flying all over a carpeted floor, which prompted the throw-away. Quote
Stasher1 Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 I've had problems with Flambeau boxes developing cracks at the injection point. I've only tried Plano, BPS, and Flambeau so far, but I've been pleased with all of my Plano purchases. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted April 14, 2012 Super User Posted April 14, 2012 Ditto on the Flambeau products. I don't think that they are made as well as the Plano ones. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted April 15, 2012 Super User Posted April 15, 2012 Just stay with Plano IMO. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted April 16, 2012 Super User Posted April 16, 2012 I have both, no difference, though the Pro Latches are nice. I usually use a solder gun to perforate mine for better drainage: Quote
