Quick take
A large hard plastic tackle box with three removable trays that can be replaced with Plano StowAway utility boxes for customized organization.
The Plano Hybrid Hip Tackle System is a hard plastic box with a drop-down front door that opens onto three drawers. Two top-access trays hold small items you reach for often, and a large bulk area sits at the base. The drawers come out so you can swap in StowAway utility boxes and arrange the box around your own tackle.
Best for
- Home base tackle storage in a garage or shed
- Shore fishing trips where space is not a constraint
- Anglers who switch tackle types frequently
Skip if
- You need a bag you can carry far; it is too heavy and bulky
- You want weather protection for boat storage; a watertight box is better
Strengths
- Three removable drawers keep different tackle types separate
- Drop-down front door opens quickly without removing drawers
- Large bulk storage holds extra rods, nets and gear
Trade-offs
- At 14 inches tall it is awkward to carry by hand more than short distances
- Plastic latch joints crack after years of use and weather
- The box is not waterproof; splash and rain leak into the bulk area
