Common Concerns Answered
Will the thin profile limit the size of my lures and tackle?
The thin profile is designed for maximum space efficiency, which may require anglers to select tackle accordingly. While it excels with smaller lures, jigs, and terminal tackle, larger swimbaits or bulkier items may not fit optimally. The adjustable dividers do allow for some configuration to accommodate varied item sizes within the slim form factor.
Is the Plano StowAway 3700 Thin Stow completely waterproof?
The Rustrictor™ technology provides significant corrosion resistance, but this specific model is not rated as fully waterproof. While it offers protection against moisture and humidity, submersion can still allow water ingress. For complete submersion protection, a dedicated waterproof case is recommended.
How does Rustrictor™ technology work?
Rustrictor™ is an advanced technology integrated into the plastic compound that actively releases a vapor to inhibit rust. This vapor creates a protective barrier around metal components within the tackle box, significantly extending their lifespan and preventing corrosion, especially in humid or saltwater environments.
