I realize this subject was addressed back in 2012, but are there any new tackle storage boxes made specifically for bladed jigs? If so, how well do they work? I have trouble with the box I'm using not keeping the trailers straight and in good shape. Thanks

Plano has the Edge Jig/Bladed jig box that is the best one I've ever used for them. Still the one I'm using now and don't see myself changing anytime soon.

works phenomenally for rubber banded

tied jigs. 
 

wired tied jigs don’t like staying in the slots. Food for thought.

Not great for the jackhammers though.  The bigger models might work but the wire tied 3/8 fall out of the slots.  I stole some of my wife's hair tie's and run them over the arms to hold them in and that works.  Or rubber bands I guess...

You don't have enough jigs in the box then.  Once it's packed full I generally have to pry them out with another lure.

I don’t have any desire to pack it full but it shouldn’t need to be to hold the jig in place IMO

All mine are my homemade baits which are all wire tied, they don't move.

I have 1 3/8oz Jackhammer that fits snuggly in with all the rest.

Weird..  mine won't stay in place.  I have them in every other slot so that could be a factor I guess, but it's annoying.  Everything rubber tied is fine....

So the other day I was thinking that I have 8 or 9 chatterbaits and do I really need that many...

I don't carry that many chatter baits - maybe half a dozen or so.  Half ounce ones in various colors and brands.   I don't lose them very often, because I generally throw them on 17 or 20 lb mono.  One of those thin 3600 size Plano boxes works for me and they all have their separate compartments.

I do dry them out before I put them back in the box.

I use the Plano Edge as well. Works great except I have the same issue with Jackhammers floating around in it as well.

I have the edge jig box and it is great for chatterbaits, but I wouldn't use it for lures with the trailer still on. For that, the edge flex will let you make it the right orientation and length so your trailered chatterbaits stay flat based on whether you are using the boxes longways or sideways.

 

It's generally frowned upon to leave the trailers on for a long time though, especially if there's any salt in them - isn't good for the hooks.

 

On jackhammers I usually put two of the same size/color in each slot and they seem to stay in fine. But my box is stored long side up so maybe it is different when they are on their side.

Ditto. Mines a assortment of jigs/bladed jigs mostly all wire tied
