There is a storage place on top for small things, open it up it has a top removable tray for hooks ,pliers , rigs,leader, etc and underneath is just all open space . I have one for fluke/bass And for offshore wreck fishing I have a 500 yd spool in there that fits perfectly and various lead.. and they cost like 20$...

Not sure what you mean by "boat boxes." Are these Plano boxes what you mean?

If not, could you send a good link? Thanks.

Use a chlorine tablet bucket with the screw on top. Will stay dry and easy to take on and off.

Plano Dry Storage Emergency Marine Box, Orange. Come in medium and large. They're great.

A cooler on wheels with Rod holder works for me. You can sit on it, put a spare set of poles, scisors, hook remove etc and put your tackle in it as well.

Re: Tackle Bag/Box/Bucket Recommendation

I haven't found one I like either. I keep the clear flat plano boxes filed with what I need. One box for bottom fishing, one for jigging, etc. Then I can take only what I need either in an orange Depot bucket for a party boat or in my kids old backpack for a charter or private boat trip. Quick easy, inexpensive and you can customize it to fit your style of fishing.

I really like the bucket for party boat fishing, keeps everything dry and it's less likely to get stolen than a fancy tackle bag.

This is what I recommend too, screw on top is completely water proof. We use one to bring saltwater back to the dock to store our filets in while cleaning fish.

I like these. I use the Nomad. All built great, fit standard trays and have lots of storage. Check them out on Amazon.com too for lower prices.

Re: Tackle Bag/Box/Bucket Recommendation

Gotta love the versatility of the 5 gal bucket! Only suggestion I'd make is to eliminate the coffee can and swap it out with something plastic like a heavy duty, cut detergent bottle or something similar for your lead. Drill a few pilot holes in the bottom for drainage and you'll be set. You can rinse the whole thing out without removing the lead container if the bucket is drilled out on the bottom and switching to plastic will remove rust issues from whereever you store your bucket.
