Plano Waterproof 3700 Tackle Box, Clear/Red

We travel a bit, so instead of taking any meds and other stuff (tums, tylenol, etc) in their individual containers, we put some of each in a tackle tray, and tehn label the top cover. Super useful and convenient – we call it the “med tray”. We have had the origianl one for years, and noticed that some pills that were in there for a long while started to fall apart (probably from humidity). Decided to step up to water proof. This tray was affordable and big enough to hold lots of stuff.

The good. These are well made. They have a rubber ring that seals them and makes them water tight. They have removable dividers that make them flexible for storing all types of lures and tackles (though most of these types of boxes have this, so it is nothing special). They have excellent latches that close them tightly.

What is unique about these boxes is the rubber ring which gives the water tight seal and the 3 latches which close them better than the majority of these types of boxes. These close very securely and they are NOT going to accidentally open. The latches also seem made such that, unless you abuse them, they probably are not going to break.

The bad. The only negative on these boxes is that they are not as big as other 3700 size boxes in terms of interior storage space. That is because of the unique latch design. Being designed to have a water-tight seal, these have bigger, more secure latches. The latches take space. The overall length and width of the boxes (including latches) needs to be within a certain specification to be a “3700” size so they can fit in bags that are made for 3700 series boxes. Because of the latches, the interior space is a bit smaller than your standard (typically cheaper) boxes. It is noticeable. So you give up some internal storage space for the water tight seal and very secure latches.

I bought these to replace the standard (some would say cheap, but they really weren’t that bad) 3700 series boxes which came with my Plano Guide Series Tackle Bag. These are definitely better made and seal much better. However, they do not hold as much as the boxes that came with the bag.

Uso esta caja para guardar mis swimbaits y caben perfectamente, tiene divisiones que puedes acomodar a tu preferencia, muy buenos materiales.

I bought about a dozen of these to organize spare bulk amounts of jigsaw blades and drill bits among other small items. These containers are watertight so I feel confident leaving them in a storage area with a moderate level of moisture in the air. With three latches the contents are well secured. I can’t speak for their UV resistance as most if not all plastics will discolor or become brittle if exposed to the hot summer sun for many years. In my case I keep them inside a storage cabinet when not in use.

The only thing to keep in mind is that because of the multiple latches its not really as convenient if its a box you need to open multiple times a day. For my purposes its no issue as they are for longer term storage with me only opening them on occasion. The water/moisture resistance is the higher priority for me as opposed to quick access which I have other containers for.

I would buy this product and the related size containers again without hesitation.

Me encanto el tamaño, la calidad de los materiales y el sellado. Vale la pena cada peso por este modelo.

I bought this to use for charcuterie to bring to a picnic. Great for keeping items in place, clean, neat, and orderly. Little removable dividers adjust sizes of spaces to accommodate different food types. When it was all filled up, I closed the lid and set it on a gallon size ziplock bag filled with ice to keep it all cool. I will post a picture next time I make one up.

I’ve tried many brands that advertised products as being waterproof only to find out they actually meant water resistant. That doesn’t apply to these boxes. They are waterproof and the latches lock securely in place.
