Plano Crankbait Box Question

[B_Rose12]

I’m wanting to get one of the Plano Elite Crankbait boxes but am unsure which one. I am wanting the box to store my Lipless Cranks and Squarebills (KVD 1.5s, 1.0s, and 2.5s). 

For anyone who has one, I was wondering which box best fits the lipless and squarebills? Small, Medium, or Large, and about how many does it hold? Both 3600 and 3700, I could use either one. 

Its a bummer that the nearest store besides Dicks Sporting Goods is Cabelas which is about a 90min drive. Making a TW order right now and was just gonna add it to my list.

I’ve never used the Plano elite for crankbaits but for my square bills I like the bass mafia kasket I feel I can fit the most crankbaits separately because I personally don’t like to have my crankbaits rubbing up against each other. These are  some of my 1.5s this is the 3700 size. For the 2.5s probably want to check out the ice coffins but I like bass mafia they have some good boxes.

Not sure if they can be found anymore but falcon had an incredible lipless box. Only downer is it was a bit of an odd size and when Plano bought them out they discontinued the box.

I can’t say enough about my 3700 coffin, once I get it setup to my liking for terminal tackle. So I’m with you 100% on the Bass Mafia! They may be pricey but the quality and durability are unmatched.

Right now I keep my squarebills in the Plano 3600 Hydro-Flo Box, I’ve got it to where it’ll hold 18 with no problem at all, each crank in its own slot too.

In another 3600 Hydro-Flo I have some KVD 2.5s, Bill Lewis Echo 1.75s, and a few deeper cranks and it’ll only hold 12. 

I’ve read where the Plano Crankbait boxes will hold like 20-25 cranks, so if I could perhaps turn 2 boxes into 1, that’s what I’m hoping for. It has like a v bottom where the hooks stay away from the body, I’m content with that.

I'd go with this model, the baits in the pictures are similar to the size of the baits you're looking to store. 11 slots that should hold 2-3 baits per slot should put you over 20 baits in a box pretty easily.

I use the 3600 sized ones as they fit in the behind the seat and under the seat storage for my Slayer 10 kayak. 

 

I don't just throw my cranks in them and shut the lid. I hang them on the dividers by the treble hooks so they don't bounce around and get the finish damaged by the hooks and excessive rubbing on the plastic. Just one hook from each treble is all you need and the lids shut without issue. Super easy once you get the hang of it. It also saves time and possible finger damage if you throw more than one trebled hook lure in a compartment.
