I was looking forward to seeing this but note they have continued with a rig board which for me is a total waste of space as i would never store my rigs within a tackle box!

Hi Spod. good thinking mate, i agree as i always found the magnet on the rig board a pain. and i already have the rig safe. cheers

It's pretty light as it's not got the metal and magnets for the rigs just pins 👍

I owned the normal tackle box and got rid,I use a tacklesafe and the case it fits in for a few spools of hooklinks.It takes up less room and I don't carry things I never seem to use anyway.The Fox tacklebox is well worth a look,no stupid rig tray

Thank you. i also have the standard box which fits nicely in the Nash workbox. and can easily fit lots of odds and ends in. (mostly the bits that never going to see the light of day. since i bought them. i do also have the fox medium tackle box which i find very user friendly. due to the catches. and the lid opening arrangement, which opens 180 and makes a useful work surface) if i do get the large korda one i will likely need a bigger storage option for it.

A box for box, a bag for a bag. Ditched all that nonsense and got myself one of there basix tacklebox. Holds everything I'm likely to use. Best thing I ever did.

I use the Fox version for my carp gear, prefer it. The lid opens to horizontal rather than flopping back and hanging

My Korda boxes got demoted to Pike rucksack and Perch rucksack. They're good, but not quite as good as the Fox (imho)

I was a big fan of the old double sided fox box. sadly i sold mine at a car boot. really wish i hadn't. it was super hard wearing and done good service for years. i got caught up in the whole shiny tackle syndrome.

Had a look at this in a shop today, I don't know how you would fill it tbh. Unless you buy every component on the market to make a rig and take it every time.

I have the normal one and that probably has way more than I actually need in it.

That's the marketing 'genius' of it.

Ditched my Fox boxes years ago and would never buy another dedicated tackle box . . . used to spend hours organizing bits but then even longer trying to find the bits I actually wanted/needed . . that and lugging a load of stuff that isn't needed most of the time is just extra weight.

All terminal tackle (primarily hooks / swivels / hooklink material) goes in a 17l bucket insert tray in their original retail packs (which are therefore easier to locate and also refresh when empty); the rest / any excess / rarely used 'bits' in a soft case in the boot of the car (along with excess leads etc)
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
