The Ultimate Inshore Saltwater Mystery Tackle Box Review [12 Months Unboxed]

Ever heard of Mystery Tackle Box?

It’s a monthly subscription service where you get “mystery” fishing tackle delivered to your doorstep.

Would you like to know what type of tackle comes from Mystery Tackle Box over a full year?

Well here’s your answer…

A year ago, we subscribed to Mystery Tackle Box to check out what types of tackle they send out in their boxes.

And we decided to wait until all of them were received to do an all-encompassing review of the full year’s worth of boxes so that it could be the Ultimate Mystery Tackle Box Review.

The core benefit of the full-year approach is that it allows us to evaluate the subscription plan based on the full year’s worth of tackle instead of just one month at a time knowing that some months will always be better or worse than others.

Best of all, this longer term analysis provides good insight on the type of tackle that you should expect to receive if you decide to subscribe.

Here’s a quick list of the most common items in each Mystery Tackle Box:

• Soft plastic bait packets
• Jigs
• Hard plastic plugs
• Soft plastic lures (pre-rigged)
• Spoons
• Hooks

Here’s a pic of the full year’s worth of tackle plotted out on a table:

Mystery Tackle Box Subscription Review – Inshore Edition

As part of this review exercise, we made the video shown below so that you can efficiently see exactly what was in each box.

In it, you’ll see exactly what type of tackle was in our full year subscription to Mystery Tackle Box along with my candid thoughts on the subscription service.

Conclusion

As you saw in the Mystery Tackle Box review video, their subscription plan can be a great way to get exposure to a diverse amount of baits from many different manufacturers.

Some of the baits will work great for your target species, but it’s impossible for them all to be perfect for your style of fishing.

But for most anglers who are focused on getting more consistent in catching their target fish, a subscription plan to get new lures every month will most likely not solve the problem…

Because the problem of not catching as many fish as you would like is mostly caused by not being good at finding where the fish are feeding and not knowing how to most effectively present a bait to the fish once they are located.

So if your main focus is on catching inshore fish more consistently, then I highly recommend focusing on finding fish and perfecting the use of a select few baits… for help finding popular species like redfish, snook, trout, and flounder, then check out our online courses.

But if you’re already consistently catching your target fish, then a subscription plan like this from Mystery Tackle Box can be a lot of fun since it’ll be a fun challenge to catch fish on new lures every month along with the simple pleasure of opening up a box full of mystery lures every month…

I must admit that opening all 12 at once sure was a lot of fun!
