Right now I have the Medium Box and am currently trying to pack 10 lbs of ***t in a 5 pound bag. Looking at getting a Monster Box, but a little worried about it being too big and awkward. Looking for some opinions out there.

Thanks
Rob

I have thought about picking up one of those giant boxes, but talked myself out of it (and after watching several friends lug them around I'm glad I did). Keep the medium one you have for Bucktails only and put everything else in Plano 7330's. I use an old Plano vertical hold box, with a bunch of holes drilled in it to help in drying, for my bucktails and have a 7330 for small crankbaits, one for med. cranks, a couple for jerk baits, etc. I also always keep two empty ones around in case I'm going to be fishing out of a friend's boat. It's nice to have my full arsenal at my disposal in my boat, but I don't want my buddy tripping all over my crap. When I'm heading out on the water I already have an rough idea of what I'm going to throw. I pack one 7330 with my A list choices and a second box of "Well, the A list sucks let's try this" stuff. Most of the time I could get away with just one. About 5 bucks a pop. Label 'em up and keep 'em organized. Hell of a lot easier to transport and leaves money for what really matters - MORE LURES!!!

I love my monster boxes! I've got 3 myself, you put them together and you've got a great casting platform, if you're in a boat that doesn't have a back one, or you're in a buddies boat and fishing out of the back. I'm 6'3" 250 pounds and I beat the crap out of them and they stand the test of time. I also, think they could be a little bigger/wider, but all in all, it's a great box!

The boxes are great! You can fit just about any lure into them and they are TUFF! I have two of them, and like others have said they could make them bigger. Never enough room for all our lures.

Got the medium and the Monster..love them both. Get a monster also you won't be dissapointed. Only little criticism I can think off is the compartments on the side of the monster...they don't hold the higher Plano models...but that is the ONLY thing I can come up with!

Get one!
