Best Ice Fishing Tackle Box

[coombia21]

I am looking for a new tackle box for ice fishing. Last year I used an avery blind bag and that worked good, but it was full and hard to get the trays out without dropping something out of it. What is the best tackle bag that is around now, I looked at the frabill bag today and it looks alright but still does not look like that great of quality. What is the best bag in this size, would like something with a waterproof bottom and possibly waterproof sides as well. Would also like it to have some side pockets to store things like pliers and other misc things in. 

Thanks

Bought the Frabill soft bag last weekend and transferred all tackle to it.  Very pleased with it and the extras they built into it.  

I can't speak to it being the best, but man is it a step up and I think it'll work great for me!

I still haven't found one I'm happy with yet.  I will say each time I buy one I go smaller and smaller.  Always looking for ways to cut down on the number of things that go with ice fishing.  I'm down to about 20 jigs, 10 spoons, some necessary things like sinkers, swivels, flouro etc.  It's gone well.  Don't carry around stuff I haven't used in five years anymore.

I'm with you. I bought a fly box for all my jigs which works awesome. Everything else goes in the smallest plano container I can get away with...that's basically two small containers. Then all my gear goes fits into a rod bag. Thats it!

I would like to go smaller, but I fish so many different species and style of lakes on a trip that I don't want to leave stuff at home. I use an avery blind bag now and it works great just need something a little bigger. I like that it is waterproof especially for those days when there is water on top of the ice or the amount of snow dust that gets into the house. Its nice to keep it from having rusty jigs and dealing with drying it out every night.
