My favorite, a Plano Phantom double sided box is just about worn out. It easily holds about 30 normal sized musky lures, takes up little room in the boat and is easy to open without taking up another acre of room like the hinged big hanging style boxes. I have a little canvas zipper bag I call my "everything" bag that completes my traveling equipment. In it are my release tools, files, leaders, camera, sunscreen, bug spray, asprin, rolaids, plastic trailer tails, scale, tape measure, sucker sinkers, jerkbait weights, extra swivels/snaps, and maps.
Why can't they leave a good thing alone! Every time I get a box that is really functional they discontinue it and replace it with something that is disfunctional! I had it happen with my Plano 7777 walleye/pike and salmon boxes, and as you said, the bass boxes are the only ones that seem to still be made with fishing in mind.
You have to wonder just who is designing those boxes and for what? |
