huskertko Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Anyone have these and like them? I bought one today and I have to say I am not that impressed with it. I love my other Falcon boxes but this one, not so much. I filled it with the jigs that would fit, because football head ones didn't, put it in my truck and off I went. I arrived at the lake and grabbed the box, when I opened it, half the jigs were "roaming" free and in a tangled mess. > I think I am going to take it back and get a flip-sider to hold my jigs, unless someone can open my eyes and tell me what I am doing wrong.

Micropterus salmoides Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Get the Falcon FTO-302 1" Universal Organizer. It has the thin profile of the 700 Series and up to 20 compartments, each compartment capable of holding 2-3 jigs. Quote
huskertko Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 That is a good idea too, but I really like the concept of the flip sider, each jig in compartment and each row flips up to get easy access. Not to mention i won't have mulitple jigs getting tangeld up in a compartment. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted March 31, 2008 Super User Posted March 31, 2008 Get the flip-sider. A very versatile box. Quote
SPAZ Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I experienced the same thing with the falcon jig box. I love all my falcon boxes but this one I'm not so sure. I use it for 3/8 to 1/2 oz football jigs and the jigs are mostly use are smaller profile and will not work in this box. Quote
sodaksker Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I have the jig box and it is about 60% full. I think it holds about a total of 40 jigs. Everytime I go to open it up, there are 4-5 jigs loose. It seems like the smaller ones have the problem with staying in place. I don't have any big enough that won't fit. Are you sliding them in left to right and then, dropping them down into the weed guard slot? The weed guard is what holds them into place. I have to say I was a little disappointed at first. Now I just take a little more time to put them away and make sure they are secure in their spots. It is not perfect but it does okay. It is not the cats meow that I thought it would be. If you have the falcon bag, I would recommend it, if not, then just get a plano 3700 and make the dividers and that will work fine. For me, I am trying to get all my stuff in falcon boxes then, I can pick and choose what boxes I want to take for a certain trip, and just have the one bag. Quote

I did make sure that the weedguard was "locked" into place but still had several loose jigs just from the walk to the water. Also, it won't hold football jigs bigger than 1/2 oz, they are too big for the openings. Quote
djmax22 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I dont have a porble with this jig box. Make sure the weed guard is in the notch. I have carried everything up to 3/4oz with no problems. A few have slipped out but that has to be expected rattlin around at 70mph. Quote
Redtail Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Same as everyone else - poorly designed. Certain jigs fit great, but most don't. Quote

Bass XL Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 I have one. It's not that bad, but I can't fit my football jigs in, and some jigs fall out of place. Quote
