| Try to decide between those two. Could get the Flambeau for half the price of the lakewood. What would be your choice and why?
Thanks |

| I have a few lakewoods that are 8 years old or more and I stand on them sometimes.. Highly doubt the other you mention would still be in one piece..
Maybe they're nice, Not sure really..
But the lakewood is a quality product, and usually that does cost more |

| Thanks Jason,
had some lakewoods in my hand and the quality is really good. The price for a medium here in europe is pretty brutal (about 300 bucks), but it seems the Flambeau is no real alternative.

Location: Watersmeet, Michigan | I have Lakewood, Plano, and Flambeau. They all work fine, though the Plano is a bit too light.

| If you haven't looked already, you should consider a custom Justencase box. Love mine. |

Location: Madison | If you need a box to stand on get a lakewood, if you are just looking for tackle storage some plano boxes in a tackle bag are nice option. check cabelas website for the bags. |

| It might be worth contacting Bob. He might be able to ship over to you. I am sure it adds costs though. |

| The problem I have with the justencase boxes is, that they have no side pockets for small plastic containers. I will stay with lakewood.
Thanks |

| The monster is really cool, but way to big for me. The medium is just fine |

Location: Minneapolis, MN | I think it depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for tackle storage that you can stand on, then your options would be a lake woods or a just encase. I’m on my 4th season now with my Flambeau Maximizer Cube, I’ve had no issues with it, and I really like the built in storage pockets and tool organizers. My only complaint about it is that I wish it were a little taller, but it’s never prevented me from having what I wanted on the water, then again I don’t carry 12” plus cranks. |

| I've had both and throw my vote in for the Lakewood. I had two issues with the flambeau, the hooks would often get caught in the dividers and the stitching started to come apart on the seams on a side pocket. Plano boxes in a tackle bag is nice especially if you have a lot of smaller lures or want to switch out boxes for certain situations. |
