The Falcon FTO boxes are also nice.

What are those? Never seen them before.

They are Shimano boxes. They have been discontinued unfortunately.
They are awesome for organization but not so much for holding quantity as you can see.

So I managed to find two of the Shimano boxes at a little more reasonable price. They were an auction item on EBay...I am quite impressed with them and even at an inflated price because they are discontinued, I think they are worth what you pay.

On one of the other forums I frequent, there is a Shimano rep. I asked him if these boxes would by chance be coming out again and the answer was that the company that holds the patent (not Shimano) went out of business and that is why they are no longer made.

I also been looking for these boxes but it seems all I can find are $40 plus shipping!

Hey Adam, which ones did you get??
I have three of the blue ones and a green one. I prefer the blue for sure, the green box has smaller slots so I'm not sure what to use it for?? Maybe smaller jerkbaits.

The blue box also works well for walkers.

I got lucky and got 5 for $50 last summer. I even had one posted up for sale earlier this year, it was a BPS one which was identical but had different writing on the cover.

You sure did get lucky! I tried to pull the trigger on 3 for $75.00 but they were gone before I could hit the but it now button.

Just browsing and came across these boxes from Cabela's

3 sizes for small, medium and large baits. Seems to keep the hooks secure under a slotted plastic layer.

Anybody ever try them? At $22 a piece not sure if I'll be rushing to get them, as I'd need 8 or so...

Those look pretty sweet!
May have to look into these a little more.

I had seen those on my search am they are pretty nice. I was looking for a solution that would hold a few more baits and that is why I bought the shimano boxes. Price wise, the crank daddy's would have cost me about the same to hold hust as many baits so I still happy with my decision. It is a great concept though.

Whelp... wife will be pee pee off, but I just ordered one of each size of the crank daddy boxes... will post some pic's and thoughts when I get them.

Awesome. Let us know.
Definitely interested in the medium and large boxes for crankbaits.

Home storage...

You found one....damn they look good!

LOL,

I read your post saying you finally found one in black! That is awesome!

It also makes my little Shimano cases look pretty cheap... I have seen the asylum cases in different colors on Ebay and they aren't cheap at all!

Congrats on a sweet home storage system.

I have no home storage. All my lures come with me.
You never know when you might want to use that special lure purchased 20 years ago.

The gambler black was hard to find !! The case isn't too bad but the shipping and brokerage was so damn expensive.

Nice storage. Don't know if you fellas have heard about 'Blue Water Shipping' in Port Huron. You can have US items shipped there, and pick up. They charge $5 for for items up to 75 lbs. Here's the link;

Maybe there is something similar close to your particular locations. There is a box up on ebay right now if anyone is interested.
