Flambeau Tackle XL 3-Tray Tackle Box, Black/Dark Gray, (2137B)

I liked this tackle box because not only does it have plenty of fishing tackle storage space but the bottom portion of this box is large enough to carry many accessories like a fillet knife, weighing scales, a stringer, fishing pliers, a flashlight, fish attractor, a scaling tool, etc... and this tackle box is well built ! ...reinforced from the interior to not bend or be flimsy when weighted with lots of tackle. Priced right to make it a great value. Thanks Amazon for the prompt shipping and good price !

Nice tackle box, large size has plenty of room for all your tackle, well spaced tray dividers and large bottom fits spools of line ,small utility boxes (Well Made BIG TACKLE BOX)

I am an electrical engineering student and I use this to neatly store all my bits and pieces. Take this review with a grain of salt because I am not using the product as intended. It's good and spacious but the plastic is flimsy as can be. I'm honestly surprised i haven't broken it yet. It's also much larger than expected so watch out for that, but i guess it says XL on the product so I should have known. Whenever opening it make sure you are gentle and pick up the plastic trays from the middle, otherwise they'll fall unevenly.

This is just what we needed for all of our loose odds and ends--random tools, pieces from Ikea, hooks, sandpaper sheets, etc. The top feels a little flimsy when it's folded out (especially when full of stuff), but so far no problems. Just use two hands when expanding the trays.

I'm using this as my rotary tool and bit storage case. The reason I got this particular case is that it had some decent sized compartments that could easily hold mounted points (for me that is rubberized abrasives or cratex) plus had lots of slots to separate out cutting wheels, buffing wheels, grinding wheels, arbors, mandrels, small wrenches, and polishing supplies that come packed in their own small containers. For this, and this alone, to get all my rotary tool equipment from polishing to sanding to grinding to cutting all in one place with my 2 rotary tools plus accessories, it is worth the price. Pick it up and take it to where I'm working and then stow it all back again when I'm done. With that said there are some drawbacks to this case. Since I'm not using it for fishing gear, that means I don't have lovely reels on the bottom of the case to give it weight. When all the trays are extended out, the box requires something pretty weighty on the bottom to keep it in place. I recommend a paving stone or two, or a couple of bricks if you are using it for non-traditional scenarios. I have had some experience in fishing and this would be a good terminal tackle box that you use at the end of a dock or wharf, or just sitting on the beach by the lake. Mind you, there is that weight at the bottom of the box issue to deal with. The one thing that is a minor gripe, and loses 1 star over is that the trays do not always smoothly come up. This isn't that big a deal when you're dealing with mounted points, grinding wheels and the such, and just takes a bit of rearranging to get things put in place where they don't go flying up out of their compartments. The fixed compartments, particularly on the upper tray of my box, are somewhat warped, which means the lovely dividers don't exactly fit in the slots for them, and will sometimes come off. I just use those as open compartments and shifted parts around. Now imagine yourself with all the lovely lures, bobbers, hooks, leader line, etc. and having the trays give a light snap as they come up...I would not recommend this box for taking out on a canoe or hiking trip for that very reason ('Now where did that hook get to? Did it go over the side? Is it on the bottom of the boat? Did it go flying into my sneakers I so unwisely took off for comfort?'). And if you are going to use it on a dock, wharf or other structure over water that has decent sized places for tackle to go missing, you might want to put a light sheet of rolled up plastic in the thing, so you can put it out under the box. PROS - Lots of storage for small parts! - Adjustable storage for said parts! - Big bottom volume for storing the heavy stuff CONS - Box tips back without decent weight at the bottom of the box - Trays stick sometimes and then snap up suddenly - Some warping on permanent dividers, not good for actually separating some compartments In all I wasn't expecting an extremely well made box, but one that had lots of functionality to it and didn't cost a lot. My purpose is for rotary tool storage and it fits two of them (one old hand burning HF and a decent dremel) with room to spare for the paving stones that have to go in to keep it steady. Maybe I'll find some other infrequently used related heavy tool in there, like that MasterMind saw I don't use that much. I can see the perfect place for this on the beach, with a bit of sand dug out to fit the box, and a couple of cold ones at the bottom of the box for a great day of fishing at a lake. Add in sunscreen, bug repellant and the opener and you have a really useful tackle box. Maybe even room for lunch at the bottom with a thermos instead... My gripes are minor, my expectations for sturdiness were low and were met (not exceeded mind you, just met), and the utility is just what I wanted. 1 star lost due to tray hang-ups and out of true compartments here and there. It's decent, it has a home and a place as the repository of my rotary tool materials.

I am very pleased with this tackle box! Much larger than I expected. Lots of sizes of compartments. And I like the color too. I like that it is all plastic since my other boxes always end up rusty.

Cheap!!! You will find a better tackle box for less money at your local Walmart!

I must say, I didn't think they still manufactured true junk anymore, but this tackle box is truly bad. I bought this because it looked like it held a fair amount of gear and was a green product. Immediately, one notices a very poor, shaky plastic latch which will surely break off in the near future. The tray system is so poorly designed with thin, snap together plastic joints that it fails to open properly because the thin plastic joints give way and the trays simply rock back and forth, thus causing the trays to angle improperly. Dividers are provided on a tree, and when I attempted to use them, found they did not properly fit in the slotted areas, thus putting a terrible bend into the individual compartments or pop apart - maybe if I shave them with a sharp knife they might prove useful. The entire box feels loose and far too light to take any abuse in the field. I have no idea how this box could be successfully used in any venue. I'll use it until it falls apart and then purchase a Plano, which I should have done in the first place.
