Plano EDGE storage system

[Sphynx]

So I decided this year to get serious about rust prevention and organization for my tackle, not to mention a hefty expansion of tackle in general, a big part of that involved researching the better storage options available today, there were three main competitors and a quick YouTube or Google search will turn them up in a hurry, but due to the combination of features, cost, and the specialized options for certain baits Plano won out, gotta say, this jig box is absolutely great, the terminal box is fantastic, and this spinner/buzz box holds an incredible number of spinnerbaits and it does it neatly so you can actually find your stuff, I wish these boxes had been around years ago, because this stuff is revolutionizing my tackle storage.

Ya...they'd be great to have...if they were affordable to those of us on limited budgets. For now - ProLatch 3700 and 3750 with one compartment in each box dedicated to Silica Gel Packs...that's my system.

They are undoubtedly expensive, to me it is worth it, I spend at least a third more time fishing than fiddling with tackle using this system, for that reason alone I consider them worth the cost, when you get only a few hours a week to fish, and most of those hours are during arguably the least productive times of the day, that extra time is worth its weight in gold when your catching them.

I love them too.  The only one I didn't like is the crankbait box.  I couldn't fit enough in it.  I can fit more in the other style Plano crank box.

The issue is putting away wet hooks, weights, etc and silica is your friend.

I love the edge system but it’s expensive, but given the savings over the years, justified.
 

Tip:  silica kitty litter is cheap and can be put in ladies nylons, place in compartments and humidity problems solved.  It lowers RH to 55%

Museums, Gun owners and cigar collectors have been using it for a decade

I have dedicated mine to my lipless cranks, it works a treat, I think I have something on the order of 45ish in there lol

Yep, skinnier and smaller crankbaits fit great.  Bigger ones or those with a bit of thickness not so much.

The jig box is great for bladed jigs. Really like the big utility boxes for plastics too. 2 of them happen to fit perfectly into the center storage of my boat so that worked out great. Thinking I might need the spinnerbait box next. I like my cook's go to system but the hooks still rust in it.

I have a lot of spinnerbaits in my box, it is a big time confidence bait for me, everything from 1/4oz up to 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 and probably 50 total, each is easy to get to and the dividers have made it super easy to organize by color, from left to right by size, divided by whites, greys/shad, chartreuse, gold, and bluegill colors, freaking amazing how well it works
