kid coulson Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Hey guys Im looking for a tackle box to hold my spoons. That special mate spoon box looks pretty decent. Any thoughts or suggestions on what to buy are much appreciated.
highpointdf Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Works good. Easy to see, holds alot and doesn't take a ton of space.
Turfwrench Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Hard to go wrong with the Special Mates. I have one of the stickbait boxes that holds most of my bombers, raps, thundersticks and have almost 400 spoons in my spoon box (I run single siwash hooks and hang them on both sides). Though some may complain that they are a bit bulky I find then extremely useful and can hold a lot in an organized manner. They also allow the lures to dry while hanging unlike the boxes for my soft tackle bags that keep the moisture in. Overall a great box.
sjk984 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I just upgraded to a special mate from the clear foam box.Way better and easy to carry and store more spoons. I fit my plugs and spoons in it
SeaCatMich Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I have four of the Special Mates... yes, I do have too much tackle . Two of the small ones for the smaller regular and ProKing size spoons and two of the bigger/taller ones for the mag and super mags. They take up room, but it nice to be able to see the spoon colors/patterns. By having them hang they don't get beat up rubbing against each other like they do in the Plano type boxes plus they drip dry and don't rust either.
1mainiac Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I sold both of mine they were always in the way and my boat had no spot they would store in. Now I use about 20 of the clear divider boxes and all spoons are broken down into fishing programs. So we just grab the box or boxes that match the conditions we are fishing and they are also broken down by color and brand. Most days we will start with a glow program then depending on conditions swap over to a UV or color pattern that matches what we want. they best part is they all store neatly away and we are no longer tripping over the big boxes.
Reel Screwd Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I have 3 of them and love em i have one for glows,mags and regular size
N II Deep Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I picked my special mate box up at the outdoorsmen in Jenison.
Legacy Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Special mate boxes are great. They are the best thing I have found to keep your spoons and sticks organized but they do take up alot of valuable space.
Just Hook'n Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I'm like Jim...we use plano clear boxes that are program specific..however, I see some valid points here about water in the boxes. Never had a problem with rusting - YET. I like the smaller boxes because we can grab just waht we want and not trip over a big box...just personal preference really.
Line Dancin Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I've got two and wouldnt trade em. Franks at the gr show usually has the best price on them.
BenLubbs Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 I use one. I usually set up all my rods the night before fishing and then I have a spoon rack with suction cups on the side window that holds my backup program. I keep the Special Mate in the cuddy and get it out if I need another spoon. Not complaints here.
