Everything I Expected, July 30, 2010
This review is from: Ready 2 Fish Tackle Box (Sports)
For such a low price 3-tray tackle box, I got everything I expected. It has much more room than my single tray tackle box, which I needed since I have acquired more fishing gear recently. I did not count everything included in the set; however, if I had taken the time to count every singly hook, weight, swivel, bobber, jig, lure, etc. I am certain it would have been at least close to the amount advertised. As this is not an expensive tackle box, I did not expect top of the line gear to be included with it. In addition to the above mentioned gear, it came with a couple of other things (stringer and what I believe is a hook remover). The included fishing supplies are not top of the line and do not contain everything needed to go fishing. It would still be necesarry to buy fishing line (as well as a rod and reel, obviously). However, it is a pleasant addition to the gear I already owned and at least would constitute a start for someone who is just starting to build their own 'tackle box.' Overall the tackle box itself is sturdy enough to do the job; although, it is not designed to withstand large amounts of stress. I'm not going to test its ability to handle abuse, but I also don't expect to be replacing it any time soon (as I said, it is sturdy enough to do what it is designed to do). There is a place near the front latch where a lock can be placed; however, this would only act as a deterrent and could be cut around with the proper tools and time.
My one complaint is this: the part of the lid the trays sit on when pulled up from the box is small enough that sometimes the trays miss contact and lose some stability. This has not led to any sort of tip over and I have not had any of my fishing gear thrown out or lost due to this (at least not yet). I'm not sure if it will lead to a tip over; although, given the right circumstances it would probably happen. Enough for me to drop the rating one star on this one, but primarily just something I'm going to have to watch out for when I'm out fishing with my new tackle box that I am otherwise completely satisfied with.

Not quite 132pieces of tackle, March 23, 2010
This review is from: Ready 2 Fish Tackle Box (Sports)
Bought the 2 tray version thinking it comes with some basic tackles, unfortunately it comes with some really small hooks (biggest are prolly size 4), split shots and small brass swivels, maybe good for catching minnows/guppies, the only thing that might be useful are the artificial lures included. Not only that, it doesn't really come with 132 pieces of tackle (I counted), unless they count the plastic bags that they came in as well as the number of pages in the little booklet that comes with it. Guess you should just buy this to expect the box only, as the tackles aren't of much use (except for the artificial lures)

Great for the money, April 15, 2010
I got this to go in a disaster kit and it's perfect - all the basics and room to add my own extras.
