As per title, thinking about one or the other above and have to buy sight unseen here in the U.S.
So, pros and cons ? Does one stand out as better, or for that matter, any other boxes as good or better ?
As usual, thanks in advance.

I've got the Korda one and like it. The only disadvantage is that they foreseen a space to store rigs. This I'm not using, so, for me this a bit of lost space.

The fox one seems very similar... don't think you can wrong with one of both.

All depends how much tackle you want to use. Not used the Korda one so can't comment. I have used the fox ones for many, many, years. Found them to be a superb little bit of kit for me I can get everything in it that I need and more, multiple packets of hooks, few spools of braid, scissors, needles, packets of bits etc. etc.

The Fox box makes better use of space,the rig part on the korda is crap.The magnet plays havoc with bits sticking to it when lids closed.I like how the lid on the Fox stays flat when opened so you can put things on it when tying rigs,the lid shuts into place better also.The Fox has a ruler on the lid which the korda doesn't,only a small thing but miss it on my korda box.The korda box is well made,had mine since release and it's still like new but I would go for the Fox if I was buying a new one

Personally I wouldn't rule out the older style Fox box which I still prefer, been using the large since it came out, what is that, 25 odd years ago. I really don't like the compartment hinges being integral to the box on these new ones.

I'm a big fan of the Korda Tackle Safe and relevant Compac case to keep it in. Nice and compact and the bottom of the Compac is a bit more flexible with what can fit in it

Personally I would not look at either, I had the Fox box and got rid of it. In preference I use the "NGT Large Tackle Box 7+1" and also the smaller 4+1 which I have used for years and for only £12.95 and £7.95 they are a bargain from the likes of Boyes etc

Had the korda, sold it and got the fox, prefer the fox, more versatile.

I was in the tackle shop and had a look at the Fox one. It is so much nicer than the Korda one I have already got. Even in the Fox advert they're honest and said they'd looked at what's already on the market - it looks to me like a much better all round option than the korda box.

The magnet and rig store area in the korda box is a pain too.
