What's good
- Waterproof gasket keeps lake spray and rain out of the tray entirely
- Rust-inhibiting resin genuinely slows corrosion on hooks and split rings left inside
- 3700 footprint fits nearly every boat locker, bag, and rack system on the market
What isn't
- Costs three times a standard 3700 tray, which adds up fast when a full tackle system means eight or ten of them
We list the drawbacks because a recommendation with no downside is a sales pitch. If a cheaper item does the job on your water, the write-up says so.
