Customer Reviews


For such a low price 3-tray tackle box, I got everything I expected. It has much more room than my single tray tackle box, which I needed since I have acquired more fishing gear recently. I did not count everything included in the set; however, if I had taken the time to count every singly hook, weight, swivel, bobber, jig, lure, etc. I am certain it would have been at least close to the amount advertised. As this is not an expensive tackle box, I did not expect top of the line gear to be included with it. In addition to the above mentioned gear, it came with a couple of other things (stringer and what I believe is a hook remover). The included fishing supplies are not top of the line and do not contain everything needed to go fishing. It would still be necesarry to buy fishing line (as well as a rod and reel, obviously). However, it is a pleasant addition to the gear I already owned and at least would constitute a start for someone who is just starting to build their own 'tackle box.' Overall the tackle box itself is sturdy enough to do the job; although, it is not designed to withstand large amounts of stress. I'm not going to test its ability to handle abuse, but I also don't expect to be replacing it any time soon (as I said, it is sturdy enough to do what it is designed to do). There is a place near the front latch where a lock can be placed; however, this would only act as a deterrent and could be cut around with the proper tools and time.
My one complaint is this: the part of the lid the trays sit on when pulled up from the box is small enough that sometimes the trays miss contact and lose some stability. This has not led to any sort of tip over and I have not had any of my fishing gear thrown out or lost due to this (at least not yet). I'm not sure if it will lead to a tip over; although, given the right circumstances it would probably happen. Enough for me to drop the rating one star on this one, but primarily just something I'm going to have to watch out for when I'm out fishing with my new tackle box that I am otherwise completely satisfied with.

I got this 3-tray tackle box for my son, who is just getting started in fishing.
I am sure most potential purchasers would wonder just what is included in this 136-piece kit, so I took some pictures and uploaded to the Amazon product page. I do not know why a 2-tray box would cost more than a 3-tray box, although both contain 136 pieces. Does the 2-tray box have better quality tackle pieces? If someone has bought a 2-tray box, please clear up this mystery for us.
The tackle box is made of plastic that feels strong enough for its intended purpose and is pretty light. It is not as sturdy and heavy duty as a toolbox. It has 3 levels of trays that spread as you open the box, so you can easily access contents in all trays.
The outer wrapping of the tackle box states that the kit includes:
"float, swirltail grubs, swirltail worms, jig heads, marabous jigs, spiltshot, hooks, snap swivels, hook disgorger, 6-inch poly stinger, and fishing guide".
There are four sizes of bare hooks, which I refer to them as 1 (largest) through 4 (smallest). Please check my photos on the product page.
Size, Quantity
1, 2
2, 23
3, 30
4, 40
Adding up the number of hooks yields 95 pieces.
There are three kinds of rubber lures: three black long worms, five yellow green worms, and five pink worms.
The 1-page fishing guide is very basic. I would suggest getting a book called Fishing for Dummies.
Do not forget to check if you need to buy a fishing license in your State. In California, the annual cost of a resident fishing license is about $45.
Update: This evening, I saw this tackle box being sold at Sports Authority for sixteen dollars, but it's just the empty box. Therefore the 3-tray box sold at Amazon with the added hoooks, lures, and other things is a pretty good value.
