Tackle Boxes
Fishing tackle boxes have for many years been an essential part of the anglers equipment. Fishing tackle boxes were originally made of wood or wicker and eventually some metal fishing tackle boxes were manufactured. The first plastic fishing tackle boxes were manufactured by Plano in response to the need for a product that didn't rust. Early plastic fishing tackle boxes were similar to tool boxes but soon evolved into the hip roof cantilever tackle boxes with numerous small trays for a plethora of small tackle, these types of tackle boxes are still available today and still have the disadvantage of mixing up small tackle. Fishing tackle boxes have also been manufactured with drawers and a storage bin under a lid, some of these types of tackle box also have lids on the drawers which helps to stop small tackle from mixing, this turns each drawer into a container which is useful for carrying small tackle to a rod placed away from the main fishing area without having to pack up and fasten the whole tackle box.
