jimanchower Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 Which of the Plano EDGE boxes stands above the rest? I have the 3600, 3600 Flex, 3600 Terminal, 3700, and 3700 Deep. The Flex is really great in my opinion. What's your favorite? Quote
Super User Cgolf Posted October 18, 2023 Super User Posted October 18, 2023 I have the 3700 Jig box, and while I hated it for jigs, I removed 2 of the holders and spaced the 3 remaining evenly and I have been using it as a spinnerbait box. I even ordered a second for the same purpose, yes I carry way too many spinnerbaits. The 3700 flex box does work great for my spinnerbait making components, because I created spots to hold blades, beads, etc, but also 2 bigger spots to hold the wire frames I use. That said at the price point, I would need a very specific reason to buy another. 1 Quote
Super User casts_by_fly Posted October 18, 2023 Super User Posted October 18, 2023 For the most part, I use the basic 3700 pro boxes that came with my tackle bag. They work for just about everything. I have the 3700 spinner bait and buzz bait box and I like it from the perspective that it holds. Decent amount and I organize them by weight with 1/2 and up on one side and 3/8 on the other (for the most part). Buzzbaits lay down in between the rows. The downside is that I can only fit 35-40 in there plus 6 buzzbaits. I’m fine with that number of buzzbaits but I’d like more spinnerbaits. The 3741-1 is a neat box I just got. Double deep and can be 1/2/3 compartments. Good for bigger packs of things without cutting the dividers on a regular 3700. Not sure how I’m going to work it into my lineup yet but I have some thoughts. the one I’d advise against is the worm pack. Double deep 3700 with slanted dividers. Intended to hold worm bags, it’s just an inefficient use of space. I just kvd speed bags instead. Quote

Texas Flood Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 I recently got the new Jerkbait box. I think it holds about 20. Pretty nice so far. Quote
Susky River Rat Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 I think I just use the 3700? No clue honestly what exactly it is I’d have to look. Quote

I only recently branched out to the 3700 size, including the Deep model, and I'm thinking it's going to be handy for bigger hard baits like glides. Quote
Super User LrgmouthShad Posted October 19, 2023 Super User Posted October 19, 2023 @jimanchower I have used it for pretty much everything. After accumulating a massive amount of jigs, 2/3 of my deep boxes are dedicated jig boxes. The third has some assorted stuff that I will refine once I find more time. You can put almost anything in there, other than wire baits. Quote

jimanchower Posted October 19, 2023 Author Posted October 19, 2023 @LrgmouthShad interesting. Why a deep box for jigs? My jig box is a standard 3600 EDGE and I bet I have 30 jigs in there. A 3700 Deep could probably hold well over 100. 1 Quote

I want to categorize some jigs really specifically, and a deep box allows me to pack a lot of jigs into one “category.” For instance, I have a compartment that is 5/8oz Oldham jigs. Quote
Peacedivision Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 I wish Plano would sell naked flex boxes with no dividers included. Once you own a couple you're set on dividers for life, and I usually use no or maybe 1 divider in a flex box. 2 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 20, 2023 Global Moderator Posted October 20, 2023 The Jig box is my favorite. I use it for bladed jigs though. I have way too many jigs to use it for regular jigs. Quote
Super User LrgmouthShad Posted October 20, 2023 Super User Posted October 20, 2023 @Bluebasser86 is not lying. I watched his jig box video. I question my own mental stability for watching the whole thing 1 Quote
