It has already become traditional among winter bite lovers to use a fishing box not only as a reliable storage of gear, but also as a comfortable seat. Depending on its size, it can accommodate fishing rods, bait, food, a thermos with hot tea and much more. Maximum ease in finding the right thing can provide a large number of special partitions and drawers.
In cold winter time, a fishing box becomes just a necessary thing, since it is able to perform several very important functions at once:
- Holds all personal belongings of the fisherman, including warm drink, and the necessary gear;
- protects the drilled hole from a blowing snow;
- plays the role of a high chair and protects against hypothermia;
- allows you to store and transport the catch.
Today in the market of fishing tackle and equipment there are many manufacturers that offer the widest selection of boxes for winter fishing. All models are not similar to each other, so when choosing carefully look at the reviews about the companies and make sure that the product contains many compartments for small items, a dense bottom and soft top that can serve as a reliable seat.
So, the products of the following brands are most in demand among experienced fishers:
1. Plano fishing box. It is divided into many compartments, which allows you to store small gear in integrity: hooks, jigs, floats. This box is an excellent chair, as it can withstand weight up to 90 kg.
2. A-elita fishing box is made of high quality polyethylene, it does not leak moisture, does not absorb unpleasant odors and is easy to clean.
3. You can also note products manufactured under the Flambeau brand. All models of boxes are made of shockproof plastic. They serve for years and practically do not wear out.
Take a close look at the models of these companies, choosing a box for yourself. Winter fishing equipment is sometimes very brittle, so you need to pay attention not only to the manufacturer, but also to the material of manufacture. Modern aluminum products are virtually devoid of flaws. From the inside, they are carefully glued with reliable heat-insulating material, and sitting on the lid is also made from it. All seams are sealed. To avoid freezing, the outside of the metal is coated with paint. But still, aluminum models have one drawback - they weigh too much, which creates certain inconveniences.
Boxes made of solid foam are very popular. They are lightweight and at the same time very durable, floating and inexpensive. But all the advantages in a moment can turn into flaws, for example, with gusts of wind, the box turns over if it is not full enough.
Perhaps the most demanded today are polypropylene fishing boxes. They are resistant and at the same time light in weight. Such a fishing box is frost-resistant and durable. For lovers of beautiful and practical designs, interesting models have been created that are hybrids between a drawer and a backpack. They are convenient for transportation, if desired, can accommodate twice as many things. Belts can be attached to the box on which they are worn behind their backs.
