My wife got me this for my birthday,  it's just like my first tackle box. I am putting my old Bombers in it, doesn't seem right to put anything new in there.

I got that one for Christmas about 1983 along with a Daiwa Procaster Magforce reel. In some fit of stupidity I yard sold it. I often shake my head at my younger self.

I have the same one from year 19??.  It still contains some old Uncle Josh and Junebug spinners.

Mine was really reasonable on ebay. I'm kind of a weirdo in that I'll go out with 1980's equipment for a jon boat trip. Pistol grip rods, Ryobi V mag reels, etc...it's a blast.

Plano 8616 'Hip Roof'. They still make it, you can still buy one, but I got mine back in the 80s and sold it a couple years ago to a member here who collects old boxes.

Good ole possum belly. I had one for over 30 years, then I had to get something bigger to hold all my $#%!. I ended up with a Tracker TX and that still isn't big enough.  

 

 

My dad's old double sided Magnum from the early 80s.  A few years ago I sorted all of the baits and put his older ones back into this box.

That's pretty neat, Thanks for sharing.
