I have three clear plano tackle boxes which are like 8x10 which fit perfectly in my crate before side by side. So I'm looking for a box to hold these tackle boxes and misc items

for those taking their individual plano tackle boxes, i would suggest to purchase the ones with the rubber seal on the lids. they are a bit more expensive but i think they are worth it. unless you go home and soak your gear in fresh water each time you get home.
i really get annoyed when i see my hooks getting rusted out and i didn't even get a chance to use them yet. but maybe thats just me. |

In innovations there is a suggestion for mounting brackets inside the hull to set boxes in which I may do here soon, to keep the deck more clear. But for the salt water the sealed boxes are the only way to go

hey brett,
for me i have a hobie outback and i have placed some heavy duty magnets to the inside of the hull. (the outback has a ledge on the sides.) then i have attached two strips of metal, the ones you get from hardware stores that are used for support about 1.5" x 8" in size. duct taped it to the bottom of the boxes. these sit ontop of the magnets and they don't move not even going through the surf. on the other side of the hull i have attached a slotted tray from target. i use these for my jacket or lunch so that it will be up off the floor and keeps it from sliding around. with the boxes out of the sunlight i think it would help with the moisture from accruing in the boxes. if you try it let me know what your results are. tim |

Yeah I tried the velcro route on the boxes inside, a few trips and that was that, I will install the metal strips and magnets on the boat hull. I think this is a great idea, I will give it a go thanks Tim

I got a sweet seat from UP sports in o-side that has two 8x10 boxes, a 4x6, and two 2x4s built in. Plus the standard two pole holders.

In regard to moisture, I know a few guys that put rice in the plano boxes with the gaskets, and that absorbs the moisture. When I used to use those planos, I would use silica packets that I found online. They were cheap, like a 100 for just a few bucks. You could also "re-charge" them in the oven when they got wet.
Now, I travel light and just bring a couple hooks, some terminal tackle, an iron or 2, and maybe a couple pieces of lead. I put that in a ziplock in my center hatch. About as low tech as possible, but its easy |

Its funny,all the junk we drag along and dont really use.Think of going on a summer tuna trip when literally all you need are a few extra hooks.

I use that non slip matting stuff that kinda looks like a net. Can't remember what it's called but the sportboats use it on their galley tables. Anyways, I got the widest size that I could find, cut a length a little longer than the length from the drive well to the seat drains of my revo. That allowed me to fold the ends up on both end to keep anything from rolling past. The small plano boxes that I put into the hatch under the hatch bucket do not move even in rough conditions. Just a cheap fix that works for me.

Like you I have found that it's easier to travel light and take what you need and not what you will not use. Ziplock bags are great for storing sinkers and hooks.

Hi steveo thanks for the idea of the rice thing.
What I've done is us the dry inserts that skiers use in the boots that I got from Marshalls. I would put one in a box with my tackle that is still damp after rinsing them with fresh water. And also with my ff since it too has some moisture after washing. this has worked well for me but had I known about the rice I would have done that instead. |
