| I was thinking about making my own tackle box out of cedar due it being resistant to fungus and some of the other undesirables that happens to wood. Has anyone else done this? Cedar isn't any kind of fish repellent or anything is it? Thanks. |

| I agree, that thing would be a beast! Someone on here did one with downspout as the lure hangers and it turned out really good. You should incorporate that into you design so it weighs less. Just my 2cents. |

| In the words of a friend of mine, who had a beautiful musky box made out of cedar:
"Dude, can you help me lift my tackle box???
I thought he was being funny. He wasn't.

| I ended up making my own box one Sat. after seeing the rediculous prices they want for injection molded plastic musky boxes. Some cheap pine shelving material 14" wide for the sides, and some 1/4" underlayment for the top and bottom. Cut 45's on the sides with a table saw. Set up the fence and cut a slot for the 1/4" to fit into for the top and bottom. Set up fence to seperate the top from the case. Ended up working good for me. I do need to make a change and put some PVC tubes in it for lures instead the the underlayment with hook slots. Tubes would keep the hooks from tangling. |
