Plano23731-01 Stowaway Deep Open Compartment, Multi, One Size

I love these containers. I do not use them for fishing tackle, but they suit my needs well for organizing small items.

Well built, unlimited uses, holding up well

I always find myself needing a bit more storage and organization. I’m a big fan of Plano ProLatch Stowaway storage bins — especially the Plano ProLatch Stowaway 3700 series. I don’t use them for fishing, but for storage and organization of my miscellaneous odd and ends, hardware, office supplies and any other items I can find around the house that I like to keep safe and organized. I probably have more than 200 of the Plano ProLatch Stowaway 3700 storage bins in various styles. The 3700 series storage bins measure 14”L x 9.13”W, but depending on the style, the depths and number of dividers varies. This particular bin, Plano 23731-01 Deep ProLatch Stowaway Open Compartment, measures: 14”L x 9.13”W x 3.25”H. The only drawback with this bin, which some might not prefer, is the fact that the inside bottom is not flat. It has has 3 raised ridges approximately 1/8” High running longways from side to side. It appears that they might use the same outside mould from their Plano 23730-05 Prolatch Stowaway Deep with Adjustable Dividers. So, if you want the inside bottom to be flat, I would suggest making a fake bottom out of cardboard or a similar material. Personally, these ridges don’t bother me. The Plano ProLatch Stowaway storage bins are extremely sturdy, easily stacked in multiples and the sides and covers are clear, so it is extremely easy to see what is inside of them without having to open anything up. Plano storage bins are an inexpensive way to organize your life! Just fill them up, and slide them on a shelf, in the closet, under the bed and even on a bookshelf. I also have a few of the ProLatch Stowaway XX-Large bins. The XX-Large storage bin is the largest size of this type storage bin that I have and is perfect for those things I don’t have room for, don’t fit in my go to 3700 series bins, but things I want to have access to. The XX-Large bins measure: 17” Long x 16”Wide x 5” Deep. They are a great fit for under the bed storage.

This is just what i needed for storing fly tying materials. and priced much better than local shops.

I got a few of these boxes because I wanted to start Glidebait fishing and needed storage for the big glidebaits. This box is reasonably priced and provides abundant storage space. Be aware that this is not waterproof, thus the smaller price tag, like some of their more expensive boxes. But I am able to hold a lot of big glidebaits in them.

Plano is the best design and quality. Unbeatable for craft storage.

Sometimes you need to put really big items in your tackle bag for convenience. I can put my scale, scissors, pliers, lip grabber and bait scent into one box and put it in my bag so when I get on the water I may pull out the one box with all my accessories. This is really the way to go.

In spite of some of the reviews, I found these to be as well-made as any I have ever owned. I’ve purchased several different sizes and they are all great
