What To Look For

Tackle boxes should store as many lures as possible without taking up much room. Look for tackle boxes that offer the organization of, and quick access to, different baits, which requires less time looking for that special bait. Soft-sided tackle boxes, or tackle bags, offer versatility and are compatible with many name brand storage boxes.

Common Pitfalls

Tackle boxes that offer no storage for bags of soft plastic baits don't offer much organization for fresh or saltwater uses. Boxes without removable dividers don't offer interchangeable storage for larger or smaller baits to fit. Also, if a box does not appear waterproof, then terminal tackle, hooks and other accessories may be susceptible to rust.

Where To Buy

Bass Pro Shops offers tackle boxes for just about every angler, from those who fish ponds to those who fish out on the ocean. Bass Pro Shops even produces their own line of tackle boxes and tackle bags. An online store, along with several physical locations nationwide, makes shopping convenient no matter where you may be.

Cost

For anglers that fish from shore, Bass Pro Shops offers their Extreme Qualifier 360 Backpack tackle bags that keep your tackle on your back and out of your hands. This tackle bag cost up to $29.99. For those with more tackle than they can shake a stick at, Falcon offers FTO tackle boxes for organization of crank baits, spinner baits, top water baits and more for $12.94 each.
