Lurchin' Urchin Vault - Waterproof
A HIGHLY flexible, ready-to-load, solution for storing all types and sizes of Urchin-style baits...and LOTS of them! Our innovative system is integrated with the included Plano 3700 Waterproof Deep Open tackle tray with a custom-designed, CNC-machined base plate system insert that will not react with lures of any composition. Base plate is chemically-bonded to the included Plano 3700 tackle tray and CANNOT fall out or even be intentionally removed. Includes 40 stainless steel posts with 'easy-grip' loop tops in 2 different spacing layouts that allow for up to 100 urchin baits to be securely held in place (each wire pin/post can hold 3 small to mid-size urchins (like Yamamoto Uni, smaller Hag's Prickly pear, etc) or 2 large urchins (19+mm such as Coike Full Cast, Large Hag's Prickly Pear, etc). With the front latch-secured lid closed, all baits stay 'in their assigned seats' whether the box is stored horizontally or vertically... on any side including upside-down... and all baits stay firmly in place in any position even when bouncing over the waves or dropped. Unique design allows for tight, ultra high capacity spacing of baits made of the same material whose tentacles can be allowed to touch (all TPE baits OR all Plastisol baits) yet our design also allows for easy separation of baits that cannot be allowed to touch. Space your baits as close or as far as you prefer, use the flexible layout to separate baits that cannot touch, or save 10% on each additional Vault when you buy 2 or more vaults to completely separate all of your TPE baits from your Plastisol-based baits. Please note that all components of our innovative storage system will not rust (neither will the Urchins!) So, for those anglers who prefer true one-handed latch operation, we offer this system built-into the non-waterproof version of the Plano 3700 Deep Open box for $8 less (see separate product listing). One main advantage of the Waterproof version is that it protects terminal tackle from corrosion when stored inside the Vault - some anglers pin single hooks to the bottom of the vault, keep boxes of trebles/quads along the inside perimeter, and/or choose to store already-rigged urchins inside the box. Also, when the lid is closed/latched properly, the waterproof version will float if it falls overboard. As well, this version looks a bit more 'fancy' because this lid is crystal clear (the regular version's lid is a bit less clear). However we have noted that the lid gasket that Plano uses to make this 3700 box waterproof does cause the lid to require a bit more effort (and usually 2 hands) to compress that lid gasket in order to close the latch. Check back for additional tackle tray/box options in the future.
** Baits made of TPE (such as Coike, Hag's Prickly Pear) MUST NOT be allowed to touch baits made of Plastisol because the chemicals will interact and cause 'melt.' All Urchin Vaults ship with printed tips about which baits to avoid mixing as well as tips for testing bait-mixing compatibility.
