Tackle box

dalesman · Nov 23, 2017

In need of a new tackle box, my old fox box has given up the ghost.

Need a quality flat modular box about 14'' long X 12'' wide with a long central section for floats.

Nice box but to deep to slip into my roving/river bag

I cant really recommend a specific box (I am sure others will) but what I would say is after using various different boxes including the Fox one I now use a small clam type box for rig bits and a separate float tube.

May not be your cup of tea but everything became allot easier to manage and store once I separated the floats and long items from the rig bits.

Footnote...I notice you mention a roving bag...thats exactly why I now use the clam box ..both that and the float tube slip easily into pockets on my fishing waistcoat.

Greys do, or did, two different sizes. The standard version is approx. 14x10x4". The compact version is approx. 12.5x8.75x2.75".

Greys site is just showing the deep version with the draws underneath which aren't required and called on the site as compact box

I have several of the Wychwood lock boxes ( TFG are the same) in both large and medium. You can customise the compartment configuration and they mostly come with those handy little clip top boxes too. I much prefer these to the Fox or Grey's boxes.

Worth a look.

Nope, the Greys website is showing both sizes. The Tacklebase is the bigger of the two (left hand one on the linked page), the Tacklebase compact is smaller (right hand one on the linked page). Look closely and you'll see they are different. The dimensions I gave are from me measuring the boxes I've got in front of me. Both sizes do indeed feature drawers, but you'd not previously hinted that drawers would be unacceptable, only that the Greys was too big for your bag.

For my float tube I use a empty Korda pva tube. I think it's the middle sized one and I can get half a dozen bolo floats of various in it. If you wanted to take more floats the larger diameter tube would be a good choice.

Make your own? Nothing more satisfying than making a purpose built box to your spec. Fantastic projects, I have at least 4 I've made over the years.
One is a hybrid, plastic lower deepish 2 inch bottom section and 1/2 inch wooden top section that takes all the floats in those foam slotted pads.

I had a good look around before deciding to go for wood very recently and I was initially heading towards one of these, I would have ditched the rig board and the bit boxes but everything else fitted the bill with the adjustable dividers and they're as cheap as they come...

The same things are normally cheaper in your local DIY store.

Go buy another Fox box. They are still the 'industry standard' IMO
