A great tackle box

[Fishing Rhino]

I had been looking for some time to find a tackle box that would slide beneath the seats and center thwart of my canoe. I had been carrying my big Plano box, but that necessitated me having to lean forward out of my seat to access its contents.

I looked at all the Planos, and other brands, but found nothing that met my requirements until I spied this tackle box at, of all places, WalMart. It's not made in China, Taiwan, or Indonesia. It is made in Israel by Keter Plastics. The brand name is Bait Box, but I could not find it anywhere on the web. The model is Pro Tackle Case. There is another name, ForTools Fishing, also on the label. No luck finding it on the web either.

This box sells for just under twenty dollars. It exceeds what I had hoped for as far as capacity and organization.

It has a spinnerbait compartment in the bottom, which actually is easy to use. It is an appropriate size compared to others I have seen. You can hang a spinnerbait in every slot without having to finagle things into place.

The large compartment on top can hold a reel if so desired, but is large enough to hold a small first aid kit, forceps, knives, pliers, scale, hook extractors, and anything else you are likely to want quick access to.

To the side of this compartment is another section that can hold several lures, jigs, of varying sizes. The amber transparent top has ridges which prevent the surface from getting marred when it is slid under snug places.

The bottom compartment houses the aforementioned spinnerbait compartment, and three organizers which can be configured to suit just about any purpose.

There is a space for a fourth organizer, but it is also large enough to hold an ample assortment of plastic worms, grubs, creature baits, etc.

The carrying handle is on the front, and the back has four "feet" so it can be transported or stored on the back side.

It seems to be sturdier than the Planos or Flambeaus. Time will tell.

Take a look, see what you think. Keep in mind, $20.00

Reminds me of one of the old Plano "over and under" tackleboxes.  Nice box, and if it suites your needs then that's all that matters.

I think you'll enjoy this type tackle box.  I've been using a Plano Magnum 44 for years, and just purchased a new model.  Good luck and enjoy....I'm sure this box will meet your needs for a long time.

Not sure if they were magnums or not, but back when I had my little tiller walleye boat, the hard "satchel" style boxes from Plano.  They fit perfectly in the dry storage compartments. I had three of them and they lasted for years. It was a lot like this, but beige and amber:

I've got 4 of those things out in the garage! The beige and orange ones. They've long since been retired but they sure were great back in the day. They arent worm proof though, I have some interested swirl marks in one of the boxes
