Full Review
The Plano V-Crate is designed for boat anglers who want their tackle trays accessible without fumbling with zippers and flaps. The open V-shaped top lets you pull trays in and out fast, and the rigid construction means you can stack multiple crates in your boat storage. At $40 it is not the cheapest option, but if you fish from a boat regularly, the speed and organization are worth it.
