SKBTackle Box

good/ a little heavy

I've been waiting a long time to save up and purchase this item. Once I received it, I could tell it was built to last. Very sturdy and tough. But..... there are two things I'm disappointed with. #1. The quality of the plastic storage drawers. Super cheap for the cost of the tackle box. I recommend you look to purchase nice water proof new ones if you decide to buy this. Extremely disappointed in the quality of these storage drawers. #2. The storage inside the lid once you open the top. Every time you open the plastic door, Everything wants to fall out. Kind of useless if you ask me. I recommend using this area for something you don't use very often. For these two reasons, I can't give it a five star.

Received today (8/29) ordered 8/27! Price was on par with other local retailers AND came with 4 rocket launchers however one of my rods didn’t fit (Phoenix Abyss PSX 809) but that isn’t a show stopper. Overall I’m happy with my purchase as I wanted / needed a box with rocket launchers that wasn’t top heavy.

The large box.The box itself is truly solid, stable and well laid out! Someone would have to fall and drag the box over for it to tip over. Small folding airline two wheel carts serve to drag the box around to places. I only wish that the carts had large balloon wheels. If you value your back, don't try to carry this box everywhere.As another commenter mentioned the plastic boxes where one can outfit the tackle box quickly depending on the fishing trip (light salt, heavy salt, crappie, bass, trout, steelhead, salmon...); well the boxes and design for the boxes are absolute junk.Upgrading to the Plano boxes allows for better plastic boxes. Unfortunately, this highlights the poor design issue. There is a lot of wasted space above, between, to the sides and under the plastic trays. Yes, the trays need sliding room, and room for the tray tops, closures and so on. I'm tempted to glue thin shelves in and then fit trays tight to the shelves which might almost double the storage efficiency.Still having a number of Plano boxes readily stocked for specific types of fishing lets one swap in the right boxes in minutes.There is a rather well designed well for hanging treble hook congested lures with minimal tangling. Using a divider or card down the center of them helps to reduce the already minimal lure tangles.My gripe about this is that the well fits some large lures, but not the largest; so when one hangs in their three, five and seven inch lures, there is a lot of room empty at the bottom of the space. Add up content versus space and it is an inefficient use of the space. Nice that it is effective, still.There is a narrow depth well in the lid and a deeper well under the lid. The deep well is good for larger items, the narrow well is not deep enough. Only the thinnest fly boxes fit in the lid's narrow well and several larger fly boxes quickly fill the deeper well. Leaving one playing swap a box with a reel game. Nor are there any moveable dividers to try and help keep items from marrying each other during bumpy rides. For the moment, I'm keeping fly gear separate.When all is said or done:This box is probably the least efficient tackle box you'll ever own. The concept is terrific, the physical realization of that concept is sad.This box may very well last a young man's life time. So long as he doesn't try to carry it everywhere. Solve the space efficiency problem and this box will serve one very well.

Super sturdy box. Used it on a eight day trip. Held more than I needed. Been looking for this for a long time.

Being tired of the lower quality fishing tackle boxes being sold by the traditional box manufacturers I recently made the decision to buy a large "heavy duty" SKG tackle box. The SKG box costs 2-3 times more than normal tackle boxes, however it is made to last and I was hoping it would be the last box I would need to buy. As expected, I found it to be heavy duty and made like a tank. There are, however, some negatives I ran into to. The overall size of the box is large, however, I found the storage capacity to be smaller than I had expected. When the front door of the box is opened, all four plastic storage boxes slide out of the tackle box if it is on the slightest incline - like the floor of a boat rocking in the waves. The feet of the tackle box are made of a cheap black rubber that leave marks on the bottom of a boat. My new box has been banned from my son's boat unless I bring a mat to sit it on. I contacted customer service at SKG to determine if they had any solutions to my problems, they did not. I will keep the box but do not feel it is a well designed product, not worth the extreme premium they charge for this product.

Not worth the money. The box looks good overall. I look at those little hinges and the huge lid and I don't think bullet proof so much then. The latch is cheap and so are the hinges. The inside clear plastic door has cheap knobs to open and close it with, so also cheap. The trays are absolute cheap junk. For as big is this box is there's not a whole lot of space, so the design sucks. The shoulder strap when used is awkward and uncomfortable. I'm not even sure why you would put a shoulder strap on a box this big. A nice leather handle on the top would've been better. I don't know who would try to carry this like a messenger bag anyway. The rod holders that came on mine looked cheap felt cheap, and as far as I'm concerned just added to the bulkiness of this box that it didn't need. The only thing this box has going for it is the material the box itself is made from his great, so for that I gave two stars. I would've like to see the whole box just hollered out and maybe have some ledges were you could stack wooden trays or something in it where you could actually utilize all that space. As for the clear plastic door inside the lid, I like that feature, but I would've used better quality knobs and maybe made that a little deeper so that I could do something more than store little items. Overall I would not buy this box again, because I think it's way overpriced. In my opinion it's a $75.00 box at best. I went to my local tackle shop and bought a little Plano fishing box for 30 bucks and I'm much happier . This is just my honest review, thanks a lot.

Produit qui n'est pas comme sur la photo pas de sangle et de très mauvaise qualité je déconseille ce produit malgré tout mes achats sur amazon je suis très déçu
