Plano Two-Tray Tackle Box, Green/Tan, Rust-Proof Brass Latch
Product Information, Not A Review
Quick Specs
What Stands Out
What To Check
The Plano Two-Tray Tackle Box is the green and tan hard box that shows up in old fishing photos, still built around the same idea: small tackle up top, bigger gear down below. It is one of Amazon's top sellers in Fishing Tackle Boxes.
Open the brass latch and the top-access tray holds lures and terminal tackle behind adjustable dividers. Under it sits a deep section for the stuff that never fits in a flat tray: a knife, pliers, a spool of line.
The Numbers That Matter
Brass latch. The listing calls it rust-proof. On a box that lives in a garage or a truck bed, the latch is usually the first thing to fail, so this is the spec worth caring about.
12.75 x 6.5 x 7.5 inches, 2.4 pounds. Big enough for one angler's whole kit, small enough for a kid to carry down to the dock by himself.
Not water resistant. That is how the listing describes it. It is a dry-weather box, so a phone and keys belong in something sealed like the Plano 3440 Waterproof Stowaway.
| Spec | What it decides |
|---|---|
| Brass latch | Whether it still opens after a wet season |
| Deep lower section | Whether tools and line ride with the tackle |
| 12.75 x 6.5 x 7.5 in | Whether a kid can carry it himself |
Who It Is For
A dad setting up a son with his first real tackle box, or anyone who wants tools, line and lures in one grab-and-go box instead of loose trays. If you already run soft trays in a bag, Flambeau Tuff Tainer trays and the KastKing Blowbak sling fit that setup better. Pair it with aluminum fishing pliers for the bottom section.

The Short Version
The green hard tackle box a lot of dads grew up carrying, with a tray on top and room for tools and line underneath. I would hand this to a son as his first real box. Keep it out of the rain, because it is not listed as water resistant.
