Keter Bait box

Hello all,

Anyone know where Ican find these at?

They look pretty cool they are basically an open end box with a handle that holds up to 4 plano style boxes vertically for easy access.

bait storage

Hello all,

I am looking to come up with a new way of storing my tackle in my bass boat.
Can anyone recommend any boxes or systems that work well?
I would like to try and get more organized then just throwing a bunch of plano boxes in a compartment.

Any ideas?
