Plano Hydro Flo Boxes + crankbaits = bad idea

Featured Replies

I guess this is the right subforum for something about a tackle box, so apologies if not...

 

Just a PSA: don't get a Plano Hydro Flo box and use it for crankbaits. I got one a couple of weeks ago for my mid depth crankbaits. Usually , I save those little dry silica pouches that come in food or electronics and put them in my crankbait boxes to prevent hook rust. Recently I got a bunch of new crankbaits and needed a new box. I saw the Plano Hydro Flo box and thought that would be a good idea, the thought being that the holes let any moisture dry out and prevent rust.

 

Terrible idea. Points of the crankbait hooks slip through the holes and then are nearly impossible to get out easily. I had it out fishing today for the first time and got extremely frustrated with it. 4 or 5 hook points at any one time poking through the bottom of the box, making switching crankbaits a lot more time consuming than it should be. Plus at one point one of the hook points sticking out the bottom got snagged in a tackle bag.
