crankbait2009 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I notice that water tight storage boxes at BPS and Cabelas are like 15-35 bucks each, depending on size. Can anyone lend some advice on where I can go to find CHEAPER ones. Is that even possible? I'd like a bigger sized box but not for no $50 Here is a link to what I am referring to: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Plano174-Guide-Series8482-Waterproof-Cases/704774.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dwaterproof%2Bstorage%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=waterproof+storage&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products Quote
Super User slonezp Posted January 13, 2012 Super User Posted January 13, 2012 Water tight? What will you be storing? If it's a wallet, phone or camera a ziplok bag tucked in a "non" watertight case should work fine. Plano makes a box called the Deep Prolatch Stowaway and XL Prolatch Stowaway. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 13, 2012 Global Moderator Posted January 13, 2012 You might check out a waterproof bag instead. I have a waterproof bag that I bought at Wal Mart in the camping section for about $10. The one I have I got for floating streams for smallmouth to carry gear that needs to stay dry like lunches, towels, wallets, phones, ect. I got a large one bug they have some smaller ones if you're trying to keep it compact. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted January 13, 2012 Super User Posted January 13, 2012 You're going to be putting stuff into these boxes that has to stay dry, right? Don't use watertight boxes to store used lures. They do a great job of keeping all residual moisture in. Unless you want to "pre-rust" your hooks and other terminal tackle, you don't want that. Take my word for it on this one. Quote
crankbait2009 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Posted January 14, 2012 I was thinking of wallet, keys, cell, and things like that............suppose I could go the bag route Quote
NCLifetimer Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Surplus army ammo can. if you have a army surplus story around check in their, you can get one for about 7 bucks that is just as big if not bigger than the cabelas one. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted January 14, 2012 Super User Posted January 14, 2012 Wal mart has some in the camping section. I bought one that keeps 2 phones, wallet and has room for more, I think I paid $10 at the most. Quote
