$50 Terminal Box Alternative

[RichF]

Just wanted to share a solid deal to the BR community.  This Academy terminal box retails for $15 (I got mine on sale for $12), much much less than the Bass Mafia and Plano Edge.  I've handle the BM terminal box and this one feels like the same exact construction.  The plastic is dense and very rigid.  The dividers are also rigid and all of them are straight. While it may not have the bells and whistles (individual boxes), it's 1/3 the price and holds pretty much everything I need for tournament days. This may be one of the best fishing deals out there!

I got the same one a month ago or so!  Excellent for terminal tackle.  For the price, can't be beat.

Is this box a 3600 or 3700 size?

It's just a tad larger than a standard 3700.

I hope they make a 3600 sized box.  Can basically cut off the right side

I'll guess this is due to our illustrious, extremely well thought out Prop 65. Who knew a crankbait could cause cancer? Poorly written piece of crap that nobody will ever bother to fix it seems.

 

Cali sucks.

I got the Plano edge terminal box earlier this year and really like it but the Academy version looks good.

 

When it's closed up does it keep the hooks from migrating?

Too bad I run 3600's! I love the design, I'd probably get one if it came in a 3600 size. What I love most about it is that it looks like you can have a few larger, more open compartments if you want them. I keep a few sets of hooks in their original packaging in my box, and I would do similar to what you have done in your upper right corner.

So far so good. Haven't noticed any items shifting.
