Will Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I am looking for a big tackle box/bag for hanging big baits. Looking for something besides the plano or lakewood. I use a softside with several boxes right now and am looking for a little easier access. I saw a plexiglass one at the musky show a few years back, but i have not seen them since. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HooknHorns Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I bought a flambeau tackle box from Fleet Farm a couple years ago that was on clearance. They still carry them, but are cheaper at the end of the season. 50 spaces of lures not sure on price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerchPounder Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I think the plexi boxes are called "just encase" seem pretty nice and I think you can custom order one any way you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuKiddingMe Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 yep pretty sure the "justencase" is what you are looking for.Note from admin, please read forum policy before posting again,thnak you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBuck Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 If money is an issue...I picked up 2-10' pieces of 5" PVC and cut it into 14" sections then fastened them together in a 3x4 grid. Threw on a spare luggage strap I had laying around and bada-bing. I gotta musky box that will fit any size of bait for 20 bucks (from creepers to pounders to bucky's). At any given point I could fit 50+ lures in there depending on the profile of the lure. What's nice is you can expand the case size by adding a few more tubes on there as needed. I'll try and snap a few photos when I get home. Just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53orbigger Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I also did the 4" PVC pipe model, but found that it was a bit heavy. Instead what I did was take a $10 rubbermaid tub, drill a few holes in the bottom, and cut cheap downspout to fit inside. For about $20 I have a customizable box that can fit everything up to 14" Jakes.53orbigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 I thought about doing something like that around the front seat pedistal. Do the hooks tangle alot. What did you use to connect them together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garage_logician Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 dunwright has a tackle box thats wooden. It has plastic slots that slide out. Check em out. The Dunwright is nice but very heavy. I replaced mine with a soft sider Flambeau that I really like. g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBuck Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I thought about doing something like that around the front seat pedistal. Do the hooks tangle alot. What did you use to connect them together? That's my next plan is to put a few around the front pedestal. I haven't had too much of a problem with hook tangling. The trick is to place lures in the box with the belly of the lure facing the tube in order to keep the hooks a bit more manageable. Here's my plans that I used while constructing, I'll take a pic of the final product when I get a chance this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muskybuster Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 The justencase boxs are great boxs. I just got mine and mine was the biggest one he has ever built. They hold alot of lures and you can see the lures you want plus these thing are made of polycarbonate which if bonded right almost indestructuble. Call Bob or email him and he will customize anything you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the (241216D) model which the dimensions are 24L*12W*16H;36 divider sections. I got two inches of height added on to mine which is perfect for the pounders and super model cowgirls and other double bladed baits. The box that I got was 180 bucks not including tax because I picked it up at his house so that shipping rates weren't outrageous. I also got the drawer on the bottom. Great purchase. If i knew how to get pictures up I would definitley show you the box I got loaded with all my stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
