What reasons do you have for either choice?

In answering your question from a Striped-Bass focused website, it's more practical in most of the ways you mentioned above...nuff said about that.

From a more generalized fishing perspective, there's nothing wrong with a hard tackle box OR a white-bucket.

If I'm taking my son out for a fishing adventure, to simply try and catch fish...sure, I'm bringing a tackle box. There are many lessons to be taught when more tools are handy. If I take him out to target scup, why would I not be prepared for fluke, mackerel, skip-jax, choggies, what-have-you,,??? It's a lot easier to bring an organized tackle box prepared for all these different species then kick and scratch when an unexpected species shows up. Perhaps it's just the old-school in me....

IMO, that's not very good advice to give a child. What types of values are being taught with that lesson? ...too many metrosexual-fishermen out there already don't ya think?...to each their own I guess.



I'm not only an advocate for the "white-bucket" fisherman, "I'm also a member..."

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
