How the comparison works

Your choices are compared with each model’s product details. A missing or conflicting value stays unknown and cannot satisfy a choice you select. The starting order helps you browse; it does not rate real-world performance.

Source dates appear with each link below. A source date does not confirm today's price or stock.

Allow room to open the box as well as store it

Plano’s box lengths span 12.5 to 21.5 in, and heights span 6.75 to 13.88 in. The Big Game box is 21.5 in long with hanging bait racks; the compact blue-and-white single-tray box is 12.5 in long. A length limit helps with a boat compartment, but you still need width, height and room to operate the lid or drawers.

These are Plano’s dimensions and layout descriptions, without a boat-compartment fit trial. Check whether dimensions are exterior or usable interior before sizing the box around long lures.

Choose how you want to reach the tackle

The Hybrid Hip StowAway uses removable boxes; the Hip Roof uses cantilever trays; the Guide Series Drawer box uses drawers. Those formats answer different access questions. Do you want to pull out a small box, expose the trays, or open a drawer without lifting the lid?

Review the internal photos and included-item details for dividers and trays. The layout field does not specify compartment dimensions or which pieces arrive in the package. Keep exposed hooks protected when deciding where the box will sit during transport.

Before you buy

Does a box that fits the shelf have room to open?

Not necessarily. Every size here is the closed exterior, and Plano's trays and lid need space beyond it; the Hip Roof, for one, is 20 in long and 10.75 in wide before anything opens. Measure the clearance above and in front of the spot you have in mind, not just the footprint.

Are these tackle boxes waterproof?

Nothing here says so. This comparison holds Plano's sizes and layouts only, so a latch or closed lid isn't evidence of water resistance, and if your tackle must stay dry, give it its own sealed container. Three stand under 8 in closed: the FlipSider Two-Tray at 6.75 in, the One-Tray at 7 in and the Three-Drawer at 7.5 in. Guide Series and Four-Drawer are taller at 12 and 13.88 in respectively. Leave room above any box for its lid and trays.

What are the hanging bait racks and removable boxes?

Two layouts that appear once each. Plano's Big Game Tackle Box holds removable racks for hanging bait, and the Hybrid Hip StowAway takes StowAway utility boxes. Both are longer than the Hip Roof length above, so size them against your boat or truck first.
