I don't have hundreds of lures, but I would like to purchased a tackle box that can hold multiple lures each in different sections. I've seen one with square holes for individual lures that can hold big bull dawgs and plows vertically but also, smaller baits.

Anyone as something close to that, that I could put on the Christmas list!?

Thanks,
Alex

Options include:
Plano Big Game Box
Flambeau Maximizer Tackle Chest
Lakewood Boxes
Just Encase custom made boxes

Or you can make your own with a milk crate and downspout tubing.

Look at the lakewood Muskie hybrid it fits big baits and it also fits plano cases for smaller ones. Lakewood boxes are all I use. Have tried alot of other boxes but i can take them out of my boat if i am fishing with someone else or move them around in the boat.

I bought a flambeau Maximizer this year and it the worst box I have ever used. Hooks get caught in the slots for the dividers almos every time. JUNK!!

IMO best bang for the buck = Plano Big Game System Hanging Bait Box - 7915

Plano Big Game System Hanging Bait Box - 7915 seems pretty good for price/ratio. Although, I'm really interessed with the Lakewoods Musky Medium and Musky Upright as they have extra utility pockets. As I'm mostly fishing in someone else's boat (my boat is smaller than my partner's so we usually take his boat), but I think it can be nice to have a bag that can fit all I need when I'm not in my boat. Anyone knows if you could put multilple smaller baits in the compartments such as for example, Super Shad Rap, Depth Raiders or Shallow Invaders?

Yes. I can fit two baits as big as perchbaits in each slot of a medium.

The lack of utility pockets is really the only thing I don't like about my 7915. Course you have the option of taking out half the hangers and then using regular tackle boxes which you could use to store most items you would keep in the utility pockets.

If you're looking for more of a day bag type box for taking between boats and only carrying what you know you are going to throw that day, you could also look at the Flambeau Maximizer Cube. I use it for a day bag but took out two of the dividers to better fit mag+ sized baits. Smaller baits you can fit two in a square but for most baits you're only going to be putting 1 in each square. As has been mentioned though, some baits seem to hang perfectly so that their hooks occasionally get caught in the divider guides.

Thanks for the replies, your feedbacks helped me to make my choice. I'm gonna go with the lakewood medium.
