These tackle trays don’t seem to be in the shop.
Is this a supply chain issue? Or, are they gone for good?
If they are coming back, it would be nice to get the ‘hook keeper’ boxes for these tackle trays in the shop as well.
Best prices I can find today are at Academy Sports (academy.com):
Hook Keepers – S/M/L
TackleDirect $3.99 each (S=3 pcs/M=2 pcs/L=1 pc)
OmniaFishing $4.99 each (S=3 pcs/M=2 pcs/L=1 pc)
Looks like low inventory at both.
There are also Weight Retainer Inserts available. But, looking at the images, I am not sure they are worth it.
I am confident that wielding the immense power 😉 of the SaltStrong membership that you can get us better prices
See you on the waterfront…
We stopped carrying those trays because they were tough to get and some members had an issue with them due to the fact that they increased the shipping charges due to their size.
But we’ll make a point to get some more later this year.
The links to buy the product are broken.

I love these trays and have 3 to separate my jigs from the top water lures from the soft plastics. It would be nice if they would offer a shoulder bag to stack and carry the trays in.
Hay Luke like the box but what the fuzz I couldn’t think why I needed little boxes to put my hook in? I have a couple small rare earth magnets glued onto the little devider and it holds hooks on bolth sides of that decider. I don’t have to reach in because the magnet make them stick sideways. Did you cover this already and I must it if so I’m sorry that’s.
Are there any types of soft plastic which dont go with this box? Seems like multiple materials in the construction, and I would be nervous about trusting it.
Can I trust this box to keep dis-similar types separated?
Plano has been making tackle boxes for many years, so I’ll be shocked if they get compromised by any soft plastic lure materials.
Doesnt work with Zman products. Over time my plano edge box with Zman lures has warped and made it difficult to close and latch. Otherwise no issues.
As a kayak fisherman, I use zip closure plastic bags inside of a gallon size plastic bag to separate my rigs, lures, and jigs. I use the tackle trays to store lures with other gear not in current use. It seems to work ok.
Thanks for sharing the helpful tips!
Nice but too expensive
It definitely is way more expensive than other tackle trays.
I agree that they are more expensive than the more economical styles, but only the Edge Flex is $30 plus. The standard Plano Edge is about $10 cheaper, so that only makes it $10 more expensive than the more economical brands.
Just for total disclosure.
Thanks, y’all do a great job!!
Love the club!!
Thanks for making time to leave the nice comment Hugh!
How about a dunk test comparison? Should be interesting. In theory, the 3 latches should be tighter and therefore more suited for water intrusion.
Great idea!
Yea when I worked at west marine for about 2 months before I was blessed to get my old job back I saw the new Plano tackle boxes to me they are to shallow and way to expensive although anything bought at west marine is expensive I have found years ago while reading a tip from a Florida sportsman mag about taking those silicon packets the kind found in pill bottles for prescriptions and other things needing protection from moisture take these packets and place one in every compartment that has hooks in it and guaranteed unless the container is submerged in water there will be no rust on them and or moisture either I’m old fashioned and have found what works does not necicarily cost a lot of money or is new on the market I have been doing this for years and have yet to loose a fish because of a rusted hook and I use the same cheap tackle containers that are only a few dollars at Wal-Mart works for me😉😁
Thanks for posting the helpful tips!
Yep, thats what is in the little grey box in the Plano Edge box – a silica packet. I throw in extras when I have lots of hooks.
