My tackle box is looking a bit sorry for itself with a few cracks,broken hinge and the other likely to go soon.
I'm gonna glue,tape it together and will do for my float tackle bits.Now I need one as my main box.
Narrowed down to a Fox F box,or the snazzy new Korda one and as I've no shops that stock either,I'm up for some recommendations.Ta in advance.

I'm based, still have my original Fox box, still going strong, must be near 20 years. I know a lot of the newer boxes get rave reviews but given the fact they have in-built lids & hinges which cant be replaced without replacing the entire box, I'll give them a miss....but I am not of the newer 'cloth'.

Ice cream tub or sandwich box, packets kept tidy with elastic band's, bits and bobs in a small multi compartment box, no carp tax.

Fox medium box for me, on my second, nothing fancy, the single sided one, faultless

If it don't fit in it does not go

I don't think a fox medium box can be beaten

I use a variety of the Really Useful Boxes - made in the UK, very strong, with proper latches on them, unlike the cheap copies you can find in supermarkets.

I got the NGT one (copy of the Korda box) and it's great. Quite small but ideal and cheap as chips. Still working really well with lots of abuse and grit.

Another one for the Korda tackle box I think it's brilliant nothing better out there, my fox box is somewhere at the bottom of my cupboard won't be out again unless my kids want it one day. I won't use it again

Have to admit Korda have done a really good job with their tackle box. I was using pouches but was sick of having to delve into them to find something (especially at night) so took the plunge on one a year or so back. Takes up less room than a large Fox box but holds 90% of what a full large fox box does. Takes everything I need to cover every eventuality (other than floater & zig work but have a medium sized Compac pouch to hold that lot making it easy to leave in the car with the rest of the spare food, clothing, water, bait, etc just in case. I also hate carrying the little wallets of bits with me as well so having the separate flip top compartments makes it easier for me to take the small bits I will use. I have labelled all the compartments though using my Dymo label writer (using the smallest text size) which makes it even easier to locate the items I need (especially when half asleep). Adding a second magnet to the rig board section also makes a big difference in keeping the hooklinks in place & straight (the £2.99 isn't going to break the bank for that & helps with being able to hold both short & longer hooklinks in place without the ends flapping everywhere on the longer ones). Saying that, I may even buy a Tackle Safe for day sessions where I know I am not going to be needing all the stuff I have in the tackle box. I also have one of the combination Rig Safes that is purely used for my Stiff Hinge rig boom sections where the flip top bits in the lid are filled with the components I need for constructing them & the hook/Chod sections (swivels, crimps, rings, beads, etc including some size 5 hooks with point protectors on them in the larger compartments - I am considering getting some of the thin magnetic fridge magnet material to line the compartment/s with for more protection). Overkill for most maybe, but works for me & means I don't have multiple boxs or pouches laying all over the place on the bedchair when making a boom/chod section.

I have a couple of tackle boxes, my Plano tool type box and a TFG Lok Box.

The TFG is perfect for just odds and sods of tackle and bits for pike fishing for me, so should be OK for carp fishing if you don't carry the kitchen sink.

The main reason I don't use the TFG for carp fishing is I can't fit my hooklink materials in it, I have a number of original Kryston and Amnesia spools in there, along with leads.

Had my hutchy one for over 20 years. Clip broke my fault. Bought the large fox luxury one. Moaned in shop didnt want all the inner boxes thought idea was overkill. You know what love it for once everything is tidy and I know where everything is. By far one of fox's best products along with their alarms.
Are you sure?
