Tackle storage aka "tackle box" for muskie lures


Cove

Recommended Posts

I have dabbled in big pike up until now. In the past I could toss my dozen or so spinners, reef hawgs etc into a simple box but now I need a better "tackle box" system. It immediately occured to me that most of the stuff on the market is made for smaller lures. What does the muskie fisherman use to organize and store tackle?

Muskie boxes are different because you hang your lures which is nice because it saves space and they dry better.

some main boxes are-

Plano- least expensive of all, the handle is on top which is nice so you can carry 2 at a time. The only thing that I don't like is that the latches are cheap but I hear that they can be replaced. around $60 (30 compartments)

Flambeau Maximizer- I have 3 maximizers. They are bigger than the plano box and it takes 2 hands to carry one box. Again the latches are cheap but seem to be ok after 2 seasons. (around $65)

Lakewood- Very nice boxes but not cheap. They have a zipper (best option) that closes them with 2 handles on the sides. They also make different sizes of boxes. It also has side compartments for other suff like pliers, hook cutters, camera ect.. (Their larger box sells for around $120)

Dunright- Very heavy duty. Nice latch and they are made out of a pvc? material . Heavy duty latch. And they are just that... Heavy. But it does have slides on the side for more holders which is nice if you are like me and never put lures back right away.(over $100)

My thought is that I will go through 2 Maximizers and if they last, good.

All the boxes that I mentioed are good, its just a matter of how much abuse they are going to take.
