I'm going from a pontoon to a pram. With the pontoon I had all my tackle organized in the pouches. I've been scouring my closets for something to keep my equipment organized in my pram, without success. What advice to do have..
That Plano box is a great deal considering you can use it as a dry box with the water and element resistant O-ring seal to keep things secure and dry. Being out on the water, keeping things dry is always a priority. The size is just right as it isn't overly large and can carry 85lbs. On my pontoon, I can easily mount it in the rear basket with a security leash should it fall overboard. I luv the design of it, very handy and the price is a steal..I found this Plano box at Home Depot. It's strong and has dividers. It's been really useful for carrying fly boxes, reels tools ... and beer. I'm also considering mounting a pad on top so I can use it as a seat to position me between the benches of my rowboat, which would make it easier to fish and use the trolling motor.

Speaking from my own experience, the more buckles, zip pulls, straps a bag has, the more likely you are to catch them with your line as you after you have stripped it in and are shooting it out on the next cast. I have thought about getting a stripping basket to wear on my boat.
I use this $8.00 tote:I now use a semi clear plastic tote. Keeps things dry and easier in my opinion to find what I want in it versus digging around in the waterproof bag I used to use.

That is what I use for my boat. I have a waterproof daypack where I keep a change of clothes and any electronics, plus my old great divider for all of my fishing gear. The combo comes in handy when it starts to rain or just when everything gets wet, as happens on a boat.Boat bags are available in many configurations. I’ve been using a Patagonia great divider for 15 years.

Completely waterproof, very little heat gain in the sun with the yellow/green lid, clamps on each end to keep the lid on if W is an issue. No handles to carry it, no big deal.
