Is the Plano EDGE 3600 Tackle Box the Best Option When Traveling to the BWCA?
Director of the Sportsmen for the Boundary Waters, Lukas Leaf explains why the Plano Edge 3600 sized tackle box is one of the best options when fishing and paddling the Boundary Water Canoe Area. One of Lukas’ main motivations for traveling north from the Twin Cities to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area is to find fish. When he’s making a large loop or just trying to travel light, Lukas keeps his lure selection tight but with enough versatility to adapt to the conditions and fishing patterns. We’ve talked at length about the best Pack Light Gear selection, but we haven’t covered the best tackle box based on size and features.
Our top pick for the best all-around tackle box for packing your lures into the BWCA is the Plano Edge 3600 Flex tackle box.
The EDGE 3600 measures in at 11”L x 7.25”W x 1.63”H, providing a smaller footprint than most standard 3700 boxes. It fits well in your portage box or even in a separate day pack. The 3600 box provides maximum versatility throughout the season by allowing you to adjust the sizes of each compartment. In addition, the box offers waterproof technology to keep your gear dry. Waterproof seals keep water from getting into the box. Anyone that has fished from a canoe knows you’re normally dealing with a little water in the bottom of the boat so it’s important to have a quality box like the Plano EDGE 3600 to help you keep that water from getting on your tackle. Any water that does get in from the rain or when you’re changing out lures will be wicked away by the moisture wicking packets that are reusable and replaceable. This technology is unique to Plano Edge and has been shown to reduce rust and other damage to your tackle.
The Plano EDGE 3600 tackle organizer offers these other great features:
· Water Wick divider with reusable moisture-wicking packet
· Dri-Loc O-ring seal maintains waterproofing when closed to keep the tannin-stained water out
· One-handed latch design making it easy to access in the bottom of a rocking canoe
· Rustrictor technology delivers 360 degrees of rust-preventative protection
· EZ Label system for quick identification of contents
· DuraView crystal-clear polycarbonate lid
· Ventilated dividers improve airflow
· Recessed dividers prevent content migration between departments, so your hooks stay put
· Stainless steel pin hinges that don’t rust
