Plano® StowAway® Two Tier Box

by Shawn Masters

I live by this box - it should be your 3rd purchase behind a rod and reel — it may just be the best thing Plano has ever invented. OK...that wasn't too biased, was it? But seriously, I own several tackle storage systems, and since most of my fishing is shore-based and can require some trekking - the 4600 gives me the opportunity to pick and choose from my larger tackle box and load it with exactly what I need for the water I'm fishing.

I literally use the Plano Stowaway as my "travel pack". The extremely compact, two tier system allows for easy transport of a variety of lures. Being two tiered with independently locking trays allows for easy access to my crankbaits and plastics on the top level; with the bottom level reserved for jigs, tackle, weights, hand towel, flashlight, knife and fishing license.

Purchase or go fish?

Purchase. Plano offers a 4700 model which is similar in design, but larger. Honestly, I find the 4600 just large enough and light enough to be perfect for shore fishing travel pack while providing enough storage for a variety of fishing lures, back-up tackle and other incidentals. I keep the bottom tier for back-up tack and incidentals while the top tier is reserved for crankbaits and plastics which are varied according to the water being fished. Highly Recommended!

UPDATE: I ended up buying the 4700 Series box also...it's just as awesome, maybe better!
