As if the Rustrictor boxes from Plano weren’t improvement enough to how we store our tackle, Plano has gone much further! Available in retail stores or at Plano.com, 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
Check out the link below or click on the link to my YouTube channel for some videos I have made about EDGE tackle storage boxes.

I did seminars for the Minnesota Valley Fishing Club and the Twin Cities Walleyes Unlimited Chapter in the spring of 2019 and 2021. Great talking fishing with such die hard anglers–thanks for having me.
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.
3/4/17 I did a walleye fishing seminar at the Hutch Sports Show at the McLeod County Fairgrounds in Hutchinson, MN. Good turn out and great questions were much appreciated. Hope I was able to help in some way.
