I've turned into a bit of a korda fanboy recently due to some of there tackle storage bits and pieces. Gonna swerve this one, all the gear i have is well made and well thought out, i think this one is designed to fit there hooklink spools, hook packs and other bits and pieces specifically.

Plenty of time for me to buckle yet though

I dont think so mate, i also think the tackle storage range they are doing at the minute is the best out there.

I two bit the bullet and paid in opinion well over the odds for one of there Compac storage case and Tacklesafe, and glad I did, as it's one of the best ideas they've had.

Korda probably realised tackle sales were dropping because of its compactness. And there is no way you could possibly get all the lovely terminal tackle they produce in it.. they have now solved that problem..

Still think the Shakespeare tackle box that was designed for their legendary seat box is class. I had one for eons and kinda regret giving it away.

I remember what a stroke of genius I thought that was
Sat on your big blue plastic box truly the king of the castle... I bought a Rive seat box a few years back and with the accessories it wasn't much shy of 2k...was it any more comfortable than my blue plastic box...not really

Yeah I loved mine.I had my seatbox and the tackle box for Christmas I was so excited I made my dad take me down the canal on boxing day.It was bloody freezing ice everywhere but managed to catch my first ever fish a small perch.It was funny as the box was almost as big as me

I use a my fair share of Korda kit. Not massive amounts as I only fish with two rigs these days.

I recently bought a Tacklesafe that fits all my terminal tackle and have become really attached to it. Superb peice of kit and very well made. Nice to see a bit of quality.

But and it's a big but. I am starting to get concerned about the amount of plastic in fishing packaging.

All that plastic you have to buy to fill this new size large box. Do we really need to be doing that in our day and age with tons of plastic going into the seas and landfill.

I would have hoped. The nice people at Korda would have been looking at ways to cut their plastic use.
Not encouraging people to buy more.

Pva bags doing their bit.

As mentioned, I was shocked how much packaging there was after replacing my two stolen Tackle bags. Almost an entire dust bin bags worth. I cringed at the thought of it.

I've still got mine, minus the top tackle box, not sure where that's gone :-( Over the years I added loads of Octoplus kit to it and it still does the job...however last year I inherited a load of Preston Off/On box gear and I alomost bought a new seat box for it, might still do...hmm.

Re the new Korda Tackle box, I can't see it doing anything that my Fox box doesn't, but you never know!

It's surprising how much you can actually fit in it for such a small box. I swapped all my tackle over from my old box earlier and after abit of a declutter I got everything I wanted in it.
Only down side is I'm not sure how long the the lids on the compartments bit will last. They feel cheap like they could snap

Most of my hook links I've pre tied ( probably 50 to 60 ) and a box of tied chods. So generally just carry ESP tungsten in case. we tend to carry far more than we need.

The way these "Korda tackle boxes" are going, I would not be surprised if in the future they release a large tackle box that will hold 2 or 3 tackle safes, 2 or 3 chod safes, 2 or 3 tackle boxes, 2 or 3 rig safe, 2 or 3 leader safes etc or various combinations of and anything else they bring out before it. Then when your sat admiring your little collection of small boxes inside a large box, you will suddenly realize you have been scammed and should have just stuck with what you used to use as its gone round full circle.

Probably call it the "Korda Box safe" and be as big as a wheelie bin.

Took a look at one and couldn't believe the hype. It's just another tackle box but with a magnetic lid and made to suit Korda tackle. They have even redone their braid onto square spools to suit
Gonna be some cheap end tackle on ebay.

Just got myself one , ye it's expensive but for me it's the ideal box. It's like the fox box and Korda tackle safe in one. I've gone from having a fox box, a trakker nxg pouch and a rig board to the one box. Saves so much room and weight which is why I bought it.

Just so everyone knows the compartment where the hook links go don't just fit the square korda hooklinks. Majority of mine are round and they fit fine . Also the small fox boxes what you put your bits in fit perfectly fine as well

Are korda taking the piss with compact 220,thought id get 1 to store the tackle box in as it will be kept in the car and only essentials taken to the lake....i need a tube of ky jelly to try and persuade the tackle box into the compact...why when a couple of mm extra would have made things alot easier...something else being launched to the depths of the shed and sold in a few months in a clear out ffs.

I thought the same, plus the plastic seemed to be of the solid brittle type, where as the Fox one's are made of the forgiving flexible plastic, so I don't recon the life expectancy of the new Korda box is a long one. The Fox ones last for ever.

I like mine

Had the tacklesafe, rigsafe, Trakker pva pouch before hand and now just have the Korda box. Ok you can only squeeze 8-10 rigs in there but I only use 2-3 different rigs so I have 3 of each tied up ready as spares then just tie new ones as I use them.

I've just ordered the bigger compact case for it so I can get my pva bits in there with everything else.

End of the day it's a tacklebox, nothing groundbreaking but it does the job for me

I like playing about and making/inventing new rigs up on the bank, so I carry every sort of hook, hooklink, leadclip and every other bib and bob that I can lay my hands on; if I like the look of them. But I always thought the Fox boxes were a con. I have 2 chub boxes that hold everything you can reasonably imagine, they've lasted me years, and the pair of them cost less than 40 quid.

Can anyone who's bought oneput up the dimensions and weight of the empty box?

I rely on mail order as nowhere local to see one and handle it before possibly buying and can't see any dimension or weight info online.

This is what I am trying to decide. I have the tacklesafe with the normal bag and just about get everything in it. Is the new tacklebox really worth the upgrade? do you get a lot more space to justify it?

I've had both, and the box has room for hooklinks etc that the tackle safe doesn't. That's the main plus for me, I found with the tackle safe I had all my bits and pieces, but my hooklinks and hooks were all just shoved in the compaq on top, whereas now I've got everything in one neat box. It's definitely a great bit of kit, if not a bit overpriced for what is essentially a plastic box with a couple of magnets
