Fishing Tackle Boxes
Tackle Box
No matter if you're a beginner fisherman or an avid angler, a tackle box to store your smaller pieces of fishing gear is a lifesaver. Organisation is key when you're heading out on the water and having all your lures and terminal tackle in one easy-to-find location will be sure to help you rig your gear easier and get you dropping that line sooner. Hooks, lures, lines, pliers, sinkers, swivels and more can be stored in separate compartments within your tackle box thanks to fold out and removeable trays. Tackle boxes can also help keep everything secure when the water is a little bumpy and can assist in preventing everything becoming entangled.
How do I choose a tackle box?
When you have brands such as Plano and Pryml to choose from, you may wonder what the difference is and how to choose the best fishing tackle box. At BCF, our range of hard plastic tackle boxes boast a durable construction that can endure a little bit of rough treatment out on the boat or among the rocky shoreline while keeping your gear secure in trays or compartments.
Tackle boxes are available in a variety of shapes and sizes that allow you to store a wide range of smaller fishing items such as lures, hooks and sinkers. If you're out fishing as often as you can, finding a tackle box that leaves a little extra room for additional fishing gear purchases is a smart choice.
Most tackle boxes will already have sections or trays inside that allow you to utilise the different compartments for organising your gear by lure type or hook size and so on, however, you should be on the lookout for a strong, sturdy handle and secure latches. A deep base is also handy for storing larger items such as oversized tackle or pliers and knives.
If you've got multiple tackles boxes, you can also invest in a tackle bag – a great way to stack and store all your gear in one place.
How to store fishing tackle?
When you've got your tackle box, you might be wondering what exactly you should store inside or how you should organise all your gear so it's easy to get everything you need in the one convenient location. General tackle management suggests a few ways to store and maintain your gear including:
- Grouping tackle for the same fish species into the same tray
- Organising lures by type and size or based on what they do
- Keep soft plastic lures of the same colour together so the heat doesn't make the colours bleed together
- Choose a clear plastic lid so it's easier to see what's inside each tackle box or use labels to identify what's inside
- Always dry out any wet tackle before storing to help prevent rusting
