so today I want to talk to you about this Plano V crate this thing is really
big and I wanted to show it to you next to the Plano 1374 3700 series guide
tackle box there which normally is a big box on its own but look at the size of
the V crate on the right when you see a picture of it online it just doesn't do
it justice is saying is pretty big and holds a large capacity now it also
matches the 3700 sized box inserts they're interchangeable for both so you
can collect your boxes fill them up with whatever you need and then just load
them in the tackle box that's going to suit what you're going to do for that
day and four of them come with the V crate so just giving you a quick look at
them here and of course they have the dividers that come with them that you've
gotten custom insert this thing is about thirteen and a half inches long and
interior space and then again we're just under eight inches when it comes to the
distance from front to back so you can put all your lures or other gadgets and
stuff in there they've also improved these rubber straps that are retaining
the boxes there they have a nice T grip on the end the first batch of these V
crates that came out just had a skinny strap and it was a little difficult to
grab if you had gloves or some kind of warm weather or cold weather gear on
your hands I guess so these work a little better it slides right in good to
go secure them now this is designed to set up into a kayak I'm using it on an
old town canoe and you put it behind you and you can access these storage areas
by reaching around to your left or your right and of course just have your seat
right in front of it lots of places to strap it down we're looking at the
bottom of it they have nice thick heavy rubber pads on the bottom and holes that
let you if you wanted to run screws through and actually mount this onto
something you could do it the holes are already there and these rubber pads are
nice and soft to the point where if you sat this on some smooth surface it's
gonna stay put and not scratch it and of course we're looking at the top of it
now and you have what I think they're considering the bait area here in the
top and now I'm going to pull apart the bottom this is the reservoir that is the
only absolute waterproof part of the system and it has a nice gasket seal
there it clips so if you're gonna put your wallet your
phone or your car keys and things like that in this tackle box this would be
the reservoir to put it in because even if you capsizes hereas gonna stay warm
and dry and you can see it's just under five and a half inches deep and then
we'll give you the dimensions to your side to side right around 13 inches and
then we'll go front to back here and looks like it's about nine and
three-quarters of space there so nice spot should be able to hold your stuff
you get a camera some things to get in there I don't know so it looks pretty
well made this is the close-up of the gasket and of course showing one of
little openings here for strapping it down they have these all around the V
great so you have no shortage of options for tie-downs and again just taking that
last look here of the base of the unit now the claps are good nice and secure
again I'm gonna show it to you from different angles here you have a cloth
front and back and then of course you have all these strap receivers here on
the back side too so and this is a nice heavy-duty plastic - let's see let's
leave the dimensions here 24 and a half inches wide these things are big so then
we're looking at 18 inches in height not adding on the distance for then handle
of course and then the interior space just under 12 inches deep for that top
reservoir which again I'm just guessing this is where you're supposed to put
your bait or something I'm using this as an insect study field kit so I don't get
it for fishing tackle but I just wanted to give you guys a close-up look of it
these are little top pan areas nice train cutouts there if you get water
splashed up in it good honeycomb design built into it the handles nice and
strong so you can really load this up and not worry about it handling the
weight we have these heavy-duty aluminum runners on the sides and they make
accessories for that so there are fishing pole holders and things like
that you can bolt on but again that's not something I'm using the unit for but
I just wanted to give you a close-up those are nice and thick this thing is
really well made and the plastic is pretty thick pretty
solid and what I really wanted to show you more than anything was how big the
unit is when you look at a picture on Amazon or wherever and I'll put a link
in the description below for both of these tackle boxes and you can go check
them out yourself but when you look at just a picture you can appreciate how
big it really is and that's what I wanted to accomplish today show you how
big it is and give you some measurements and some reference thanks for watching
and it hope you benefited from it
