Hard bottom, plenty of room

This tackle box is really nice. The bottom of the box is hard, so you don't have to worry about setting it down on the bank and having it absorb water when you're fishing. I prefer soft-sided tackle boxes because they offer more flexibility in getting things in and out. If your tray isn't perfectly lined up, it will usually still slide right in. This also has a rod holder built into the side of the box. Works great for a smaller pole. This way I can carry one or two in my hands and put a three-foot pole on the box as a backup. 

Zippers all function well and the fabric is good quality. This is a great addition to my fishing gear collection.
