I just have to tell you about this new product, just released, from Plano. We all know how convenient and durable Plano Stowaway tackle boxes are. Now, add rust prevention to the Stowaway resume. The Plano Stowaway Rustrictor is here. These boxes, available in popular 3500, 3600, and 3700 sizes, now use Armor protectant vapor to provide a 360 degree rust-stopping barrier around your baits and hooks while being stored. No more opening up your tackle box to grab your favorite bait, only to find it rusted. No more having to clean rust out of your tackle boxes and off of your baits each spring. These boxes stop rust 5X longer than anything else you can buy. You have got to give these a try this season. Available at Cabelas and Bass Pro Shops now!
As if the Rustrictor boxes from Plano weren’t improvement enough to how we store our tackle, Plano has gone much further! Available in January, the EDGE series of tackle storage boxes from Plano are a whole new generation of tackle boxes that completely re-write the book on tackle storage. These new boxes will still include the Rustrictor technology, but listen to these other features:
Clear, see-through durable composite construction
Stainless steel pin hinges
One-hand open and close latches
Dividers with air vents to resist moisture build-up and allow Rustrictor to circulate throughout the box and that fit into a recession in the bottom of the box to keep them in place and prevent hooks from getting under them
A divider that holds a rechargeable desiccate to remove moisture
A variety of new styles including specialty boxes for crank baits and terminal tackle

3/11/17 I took part in a fishing panel and helped customers with Humminbird, MinnKota, Lund, and Mercury questions at R&R Marine Shakopee’s Open House. Good questions and discussion as well as free lunch seemed to satisfy everyone. Pulled home my new Lund, background left photo, after the event was over. 2018 R&R Marine’s Open House will be on Saturday, February 24th. Fishing and electronics seminars, boat and accessories specials, free parking, and free lunch. Look for me at this event at the intersection of MN Hwy 41 and U.S. 169 to talk boats or fishing. Go to Rapid Marine’s website for exact times for specific events. See you there.
