I can keep everything in separate canisters and pull the canisters I'm using out and put in my pocket. Never have to worry about dividers moving on me. It also comes with round labels to put on the top of the canisters so you can easily see what each on has. That's pretty cool! Looks like I will make a few of those up. 1 Quote
DanielG Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 Pill bottles. If you're a geezer you probably throw them away all the time. They have 3-4 different sizes depending on the pills. Locking covers etc. As far as boxes (and please remember this old geezer is a very cheap uh... frugal one) I purchase these boxes on Amazon. They are thread organizers. Good hinges and tight clasps and it's not cheap flimsy plastic. The dividers are fixed but there are a few long ones in the center. 46 compartments on two sides. They are about 10"x3x14" and to get an idea of the compartment size, they are often purchased to hold matchbox car collections with room to spare in each compartment. Those are big spools of thread. And about $13 each. 1 Quote

You have to know what to ask for for the right things to show up on Amazon. Nice find, especially for the price. I've found that if you put the word "fishing" in front of it the price doubles. And sometimes you don't need the ones that will survive a fall from an airplane because.... well, you're in a boat. Quote

Goldstar225 Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 I got the Plano edge terminal tackle box a couple of months ago. So far I really like it. Only time will tell on it's durability. https://www.planomolding.com/edge-master-terminal 1 Quote
Beachpig Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 I’ve wrestled with topic for the past few years. Started with a large bag and 3700 series Plano containers, then 3600 series and then I started feeling like I was making things more difficult than they had to be. I fish from a boat, from shore and from a kayak. I only need to take some of my terminal tackle depending on when, where and what I’ll be fishing from. Best option I came up with is this small tackle bag and I filled it with 2 diffent sizes of the Plano 3400 series boxes. Each box only has one type of item just different sizes or weights. Now I either take the whole bag or just what i need. I haven’t even filled this bag to capacity yet. I could easily fit three more 3400 boxes or one more 3500 in there. Best thing I’ve done to date when it comes to my gear. 2 2 Quote

I also make an excellent spreadsheet and list every single item in my box So $30 for the box, and then $35 more to make it work (plus man-hours)? All we have to do is take all of our items out of the already labelled bags, then put them in different bags and make new labels. Then modify the box so stuff will stay in place by adding some shelf liner, even though everything is in bags, and even though I just paid $30 for this box that should be perfect at that price? Yes I think my system is better...Plano box for $2.88 at Walmart. Only tiny hooks get under the dividers, but I never use them anyways. Weights stay where they should, snaps stay in their original bags. Heck at these prices I could buy a separate box for every hook and still be cheaper, though bulkier I'd imagine. And you probably can't afford to sue me if you're paying $75 for a box Or maybe that means you can. Just havin' fun. 1 Quote

To me anyone that doesn't either store their terminal tackle in the original package or transfer it into a separate baggie over putting it loosely in a plano box has never had to throw out 100 dollars in terminal tackle due to rust. I have tried a rustrictor box and that may help to lessen rust from condensation due to temperature change but it didn't work for me. 1 Quote

I try to buy hooks and items I use a lot in bulk, but didn't want to bring 100 5/0 hooks with me. This seemed to be the best solution for my fishing routine. Quote

I'd also vouch for the Bass Mafia, though I don't utilize the baggie system and I use spreadsheets way too much at work to be that anal about my tackle. Not saying that it isn't necessary though, please don't sue me...... Quote

The BM Deep is not going to cut it on the kayak, too big and hard to handle reaching behind the seat. I'm going back to the Plano 3700 deep like I was using before.
