You can use a Plano EDGE Flex 3700 box and move the dividers over to it. It's much deeper, just use a dremal tool to open up the slots... It works. You can also take the Spinnerbait inserts from a Plano StowAway Spinnerbait 3600, Spinnerbait 3700, or Spinnerbait/ Buzzbait Box and put them in the EDGE FLEX series too... 🍺🎣
How about start with the box of your choice, cut some furring strips the matching length or width, tack in some small nails spaced how you want, covered with some small diameter heat shrink to protect the jigs, and well , that's it. Custom Jig Box. I don't know, other than the cost of the box. maybe 2 bucks?
I gave up on using this one for jigs, since I mostly only throw smaller ones and the dividers are mostly too wide to hold them snugly. I use this one for my chatterbait box and another 3700 for jigs.
Grinding the pieces off to fit the deeper edge box takes less tome than watching the rest of the boxes that won't work.... I'll be doing that. Thanks for the idea
Interesting.... That hook & loop stuff has been out a long time. That stuff is like cement. It works incredibly well for what it is. My issue with these jig boxes is that for the jigs with the wider heads, it's so tight that it winds up pinching the strands of the skirts off. Given the cost of these boxes, I'm at the point now to where I just get the label maker out, and lay all my weight-organized jigs in a typical waterproof box. Aside from making a deeper box, they really need material that's more flexible than the hard plastic the jig head slides into. Firm enough to hold it , soft enough to keep from tearing up the jig skirt. This video is 2yrs old, so I'm sure you know that KastKing has made a smaller 3600 style waterproof box (which I also prefer when on the boat). Great video....thanks for sharing.
Ok, 1. Great video. 2. Great solution with the Gamagatsu 3M velcro. 3. Does anyone dry their jigs before swapping out jigs? 4. This jig box, got me organized and actually fishing jigs, I then got the Lews pro SP to skip jigs, now I need more jigs and another one of these plano edge jig boxes...see the problem? They got me hooked! Only complaint so far! 😆
I've got a magnetic tool holder on the lid of my compartment and I put the used lures there and put them away the next day (or realistically as I'm preparing for the next trip)
I just ran across your video and enjoyed it. Flex just came out with a 3600 jig box and wanted to know if you had your hands on one. I was thinking of a bladed jig box. Thanks!!
I trim all the brush guards on my jigs straight out the pack so I have not had that issue but I do have some finesse jugs that are too small for the edge box
They do seem to be overpriced and should be perfect for that kind of money. I got a bunch of them for Christmas so looking forward to checking them out, especially the line storage box
I don't like the plano edge boxes,carrying them in a back back they're too heavy,added they're too expensive.I like the gamakatsu boxes a lot,good video Mr Bass!
@@MrBassTV it’s called the big jig box. Only thing I added is a straps that cinches because closure is magnetic and may if hit on something could open.
imo at $30 a pop the edge boxes are just not worth it at all. They are way too specific and if your baits don’t fit just right, you’re SOL. I wish Plano would just take the same idea with the flex box and apply it to their normal boxes and make it completely modular - have the tabs along the edges and sell like “divider packs” with regular dividers, jig holders, spinnerbait holders etc that you can buy separately and interchange into ANY box. It really grinds my gears that the Plano pro latch, waterproof, rustrictor, and edge models are all different dimensions!
Is guess if you were really committed to using the jig holders you could get an open compartment waterproof box and just epoxy the jig holders to the bottom of the box. Obviously this is a permanent solution but it would get the job done
Just wanted to say that's okay, but that is more weight, especially when you are on the kayak. I've learned that you have less to lose in case of any trouble and you may spend more time using what you have on hand. No more than 3 3600 boxes and 1 of those is for terminal tackle. Small bag for plastics and a watertight 3500 box for spinnerbaits/buzzbaits.
I use the thin 3600 boxes and 1 regular 3600 box for the kayak. 4 rods max. 2 spinning rods and 2 baitcasters. If you're going to lessen the load, it's a great place to start. Most people have their favorite go to lucky lures anyway. No more than 3 rule is what I am trying. 3 jigs, 3 chatterbaits, light and dark colors.
Maybe the solution is more easy, why you just flip your jigs instead of put the with the lure on the top, just flip the lure 45 degrees and maybe it could work.
If you have a dremel tool It would be easy to extend the two groves in the jig holders.
Or maybe a file would do better

Thanks for the tip!
@@MrBassTV it would be nice to see a video of this idea
nice... that seems like a good option. Ill look into that.
Thanks for the heads up on the boxes and the review👍🏻
Great video! Like that idea!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!

I do the same, I just put my jigs in a standard size plano edge 3700
In the Plano edge jig box, I lean them to the side, a little about a 45° angle or wherever that keeps the wing guard from being jammed down
As good as they are for the price they need to be perfect in every way. Hard for me to justify that much for a box.
they are perfect for vibrating jigs IMO

Saved a lot of people money with this video 😂
I just ran across your video and enjoyed it. Flex just came out with a 3600 jig box and wanted to know if you had your hands on one. I was thinking of a bladed jig box. Thanks!!
My compromise was getting the Plano 3600 spinner bait box, works well for spinners, jigs, chatterbaits and buzzbaits!
I like mine, it's a tackle box, it does it's job.
Trimming the notch on the side to fit the Flex box seems like the best option?
Maybe. I prefer my solution. I just use the jig holders in the Gamy boxes and they work great.
Agree, i would use a Dremel and extend the groove so that it would slide all the way down. Dremel will make a nice clean cut with the right disc head.
Has anyone else noticed that this box has 5 rows of jig storage in every picture you see when shopping, but only comes with 4?
At least mine did
Never noticed that. Very interesting.
I trim all the brush guards on my jigs straight out the pack so I have not had that issue but I do have some finesse jugs that are too small for the edge box

Use a dremel and grind the stops off and use plano deep box
I like that G box solution!
In the video you have it as a 3200D but on your Amazon link it pops up a 3700D. Wich is it?
I use both for different applications.
So the smaller one is it a 3200D?
I don't like the plano edge boxes,carrying them in a back back they're too heavy,added they're too expensive.I like the gamakatsu boxes a lot,good video Mr Bass!
They are 24 bucks?
Heck do you need that many jigs in a backpack for? Take 2 or 3, & put those in your backpack.
Do they make other boxes besides jig boxes? I don’t do much jig fishing and don’t have many jigs to store.
Yes they do and they are great
Did you try the Gruv fishing box with the foam. I like those a good bit.
I do have several gruv boxes that I really like. I haven’t seen one with foam in it.
@@MrBassTV it’s called the big jig box. Only thing I added is a straps that cinches because closure is magnetic and may if hit on something could open.
Gruv fishing launch pads
How did you remove the Plano EDGE branding from the box you use (as opposed the new one)?
It’s just a large label on the inside of the lid that peels off
Cutting a groove into the insert and using the deep Plano box would be a cinch.
I've got the jig box and i hate it, plano needs to have dividers to fit the jig box like in the flex box,
imo at $30 a pop the edge boxes are just not worth it at all. They are way too specific and if your baits don’t fit just right, you’re SOL. I wish Plano would just take the same idea with the flex box and apply it to their normal boxes and make it completely modular - have the tabs along the edges and sell like “divider packs” with regular dividers, jig holders, spinnerbait holders etc that you can buy separately and interchange into ANY box. It really grinds my gears that the Plano pro latch, waterproof, rustrictor, and edge models are all different dimensions!
Well said. I agree that it could be done better
I've got everything from tiny ned jigs to 1 3/4 oz swim jigs in this box. A bunch of chatterbaits as well. They're fishing lures, not gold Rolexes.
Ya. It grinds my gears too. So stupid.
Is guess if you were really committed to using the jig holders you could get an open compartment waterproof box and just epoxy the jig holders to the bottom of the box. Obviously this is a permanent solution but it would get the job done
Which box do you like better Flam or Plano?
I like them both but for different things

I agree. I keep working on bringing less

Actually the best jig box is naked jig heads , packs of skirts. Build your jig to match the situation.
Maybe the solution is more easy, why you just flip your jigs instead of put the with the lure on the top, just flip the lure 45 degrees and maybe it could work.
I will try that out. Thanks
I have a simple solution: send me all your jigs for storage purposes!
There! Problem Solved!
You are a very smart fisherman
the plano box is 20 bucks on amazon right now.
That’s a good deal!
This is spooky because I did the same thing but to a Flamebeau IQ box. I used double sided Gorilla tape. I guess great minds think alike
Lol. I guess so
If you take the jig holders out the Plano jig box. You are left w a useless Plano box
It’s kind of useless either way.
This wasn’t a fix for the issue. You’re left with a useless $40 box because you still can’t put your jigs in it without it mashing your weed guards.
