Trust me..that stopper is not moving. It needs a real solid hit to pop
out. It is tight against the bottom of the box, so coming from the
other direction is not an option unless I cut down the rubber
stopper. I will keep and eye on it though.

Right on.

It seems like there is more value in just purchasing one like "Tackle Tote".
Like I mentioned, as humble as my bin is, in the end... I
dumped more time and money into it, than it would cost to buy a
ready made. I think Tackle solutions "tackle tote" has more
features and is bigger than mine.

I was obviously inspired by their design. When I first saw pictures
of their work...my immediate thought was "brilliant!". Another
motivation was doing my own... I was looking for a diversion project
from my home renovation that I am 4 years into yet only half way
through. It was nice to start and finish something un-related to the
house in a short schedule. As a bonus...its for my surfcasting
obsession.

A vent is key also. Steady moisture and a warm box (heat) will accelerate hooks rusting.
great Idea. I will think about venting the sucker....maybe install a
little battery operated fan. I have seen little battery operated
computer fan rigs.....hmmmm.
