Full And Varied Choice Of Fishing Tackle Boxes

By Rebekah Alford


If you have recently started or are about to take up angling as a pastime, then along with all the things you need for the task, you will need something to store and carry it in. You would imagine that this would be a relatively easy choice but this may not be as easy as you think. The serious angler has many needs ans so the market has created a full and varied choice of fishing tackle boxes.

So initially you have a few floats and hooks and weights, maybe lures and flies depending on your fishing style. Spare parts, line and possibly different reels are always handy to have and things like scissors, disgorgers a set of scales maybe are all small items that you will need to carry. A box is necessary then to keep them all together and make them easy to transport.

Then of course you have larger items like landing nets, keep nets, rod rests or stands, there is bait to carry and that is before you consider the rods. So maybe then it is a good idea to get a box to carry your smaller items that is big enough to sit on whilst you fish. The market provides many suitable solutions for this including boxes with adjustable legs to make your seat the right height and stable even on uneven ground.

Of course then the design of the interior of the box it self is also important. The shelves and compartments need to be suitable for each individuals needs. Again the market has provided and some storage cases have additional and removable partitions and shelves for just this reason.

This equipment all still has to be transferred from home to fishing site and quite often this can be a fair distance from where you can park your transport. If you find that you have more stuff than you can carry in one trip this causes problems at to what you leave unattended on the site while you fetch the rest. This can be a real problem as animals as well as humans have been known to make off with or damage sometimes expensive items,

If this is going to be a problem for you then it seems sensible to make sure that everything can be moved in one easy trip. The market has not failed here either as it has responded to this long standing problem. Trolleys have been designed that will carry everything you need on the inside or out and then can be converted into seats.

The most ingenious of which is probably a barrow like trolley that can be pulled along containing all your angling gear and then has adjustable legs to allow it to become a comfortable chair. The box containing your equipment is behind the chair and serves to stabilize it further whether you are sat down or not. The seat has memory foam padding and the there are even built in spirit levels for ease of levelling.

With such a large and varied choice of fishing tackle boxes available it is now a much more important decision as to how you spend your money than you may have previously thought. Buying small now may mean you have to spend a lot more money later but what you buy may still fit into your larger set up. Buying bigger now may last you a while, but whether it will suffice later on only you can decide.
