Fishing ‘tackle boxes’ and bags.

Tackle boxes

For time immemorial portable fishing tackle containers have been an essential part of angling and have organically evolved from wood, to metal, to plastic,  to PVC  to  very excellent durable, woven materials.  They ‘re impervious to impact and water will drain from most of them.

‘Fishing tackle boxes’ were originally made of  ‘wood or wicker’, then metal, then plastic and PVC. Today materials bag drain water, are durable and light. The first plastic fishing tackle boxes were manufactured by “Plano” in response to the need for a product that didn’t rust. Early plastic fishing tackle boxes were similar to tool boxes, but soon evolved into hip roof tackle boxes with numerous trays for small hooks, lures, lines, reels, weights & tools. These types of tackle boxes are still commonly available (I own three).

Fishing tackle boxes have also been manufactured, so that drawers within might be removable and house storage boxes, each with individual lids. This innovation prevents small tackle from mixing.  Also, stand-alone containers may be withdrawn and used to carry small tackle to a rod, some distance from the main tackle box.

Fishing Tackle backpacks.

An easy way to handle, transport and organize your tackle is by carrying it in a ‘Fishing Tackle Tote’ with a padded back, backpack shoulder straps & a satchel handle.                                                                                                                                       Details:
•    Carry your tackle, plus additional gear while keeping hands free to fish.
•    Includes five 3600 StowAway Utility Boxes
•    Large interior storage compartment for Stow Aways, plus additional gear.
•    Interior includes front organization flap with 3 mesh pockets plus one large zippered pocket.
•    Four exterior pockets: two zippered, two snap-button.

 February 2016 “Plano” Introduced A new line new ‘low profile’ state of the art ‘fishing tackle bags’ that slide effortlessly into a boat’s dry-storage, under seats, into a boat’s storage locker even below the cockpit.

In this era of specialization “Plano” offers a tackle storage solution aimed squarely at boat anglers, fishing in freshwater or saltwater.

The ‘On-Board Series’ is outfitted with an ingenious mesh panel and fabric cover for ‘drainage’.

No matter how hard you try, or how dry a boat runs, water will find its way onto the deck. Waves, flopping fish or a good old fashioned rainstorm put water on the floor. The On-Board’s drainage feature eliminates the risk of soaking your tackle bags and ultimately rusting lures and equipment. “Plano” fishing tackle bags put everyone’s mind at ease.

“The On-Board Series is destined to become the tackle bag for fishing guides. This I know…”

Another hallmark of “Plano’s On-Board Series” are strikingly comfortable handles. That might not sound like a big deal, but when you stuff and jerk the tackle bag from tight confines, you’ll appreciate its softness. Padded comfort also comes into play for the ‘grab-and-go’ angler, who carries heavy metals, like spoons, sinkers and bladed baits.
