waterproof tackle boxes

thumper Posted 11/29/2004 11:25 AM (#24677) Subject: waterproof tackle boxes Member Posts: 744 Anyone suggest any good waterproof tackle boxes? Maybe I should say bags, as I prefer the soft sided cases. Looking for something to hold 6-10 of the thin divided boxes for crankbaits, etc. Thanks for any help- Dave S Jayman Posted 11/29/2004 12:36 PM (#24679 - in reply to #24677) Subject: RE: waterproof tackle boxes Member Posts: 1656 If you like the soft sides bags and want to put plano boxes in it. I'd recommend a duffel bag. I decided to buy duffel bags a few years ago. You can get them in nylon, they dry out well, clean up nice and are alot cheaper than $50 tackle bags. You can get a decent size bag cheap at wally world for $10-$25.

It doesn't take much water to rust hooks in a hurry if they get even a little wet. I don't have enough storage in my boat to keep everything out of the weather all the time. irishwebs Posted 11/29/2004 2:58 PM (#24685 - in reply to #24677) Subject: RE: waterproof tackle boxes Member Posts: 363 Location: Kaukauna WI Thumper this has worked well for me in past and keeps water out enless you submerge the item in water. http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.TextId?hvarTextId=44422&hvar...

Most guys bungee them down in an out of the way place like in front of the console. Hope you find something that works. thumper Posted 11/30/2004 7:02 AM (#24692 - in reply to #24677) Subject: RE: waterproof tackle boxes Member Posts: 744 Mike- That looks like a good start. For sure better than what I've got now, and for $20 worth a try. I think I may have to buy a new boat to match that bag, however!! Thanks for the link.

If you waterproof spray the fabric a couple times a year, they stay nice and dry. Best to find a duffel that has a fold over flap to cover the zipper, mostly sold in outdoor stores and catalogs.
