    How to store double the amount of crankbaits in a Plano 3700.

    I was looking for a way to store more crankbaits in my Plano boxes since I'm limited on the space where I store my boxes. I decided to cut a 1/2" off the top of my dividers so the baits can be turned sideways and the lips will drop below the top of the lid. Works great!!

    Thanks, I didn't realize it would be that easy.

    Now I have about 20 boxes to trim.

    Simply Brilliant. Thanks for posting.

    You do realize of course, that you will cost the box manufacturers $99,000,000,000.00 if this gets out! Ha Ha

    I wonder how long it will take one of them to patent something similar and offer it as "Their New Idea"?

    Well done.

    +1 on your having a great idea. I just bought a boat load of cranks and wasn't looking forward to having to add new boxes. You may have just solved dilemma.


    Thankee.
