Spoon Tackle box

[Erbyjoe]

I am looking for a certian tackle box to hold all of my spoons.I can't remember the name or make but it has cards that hold the spoons and the cards are set in a way that you fan thru them to pick the spoon you want.Can someone help me with a name and place to buy one of these.Or if you have a good tackle box to tell me about would also be great.Thanks

You can try maxi mate. Not sure if they make them anymore. Special mate also makes them. They have 15 cards, 15 slots each card. I bought the special mate at screwie louies in fair haven. They work great for stick baits also.

Gander Mt sells them there called Trinity - Special-Mate 8" Spoon Box-Teal

Also can be seen at http://www.franksgreatoutdoors.com

Erby,

I have two of the Special Mate's and I like them. Just be sure to get the one for spoons. The one shown above is for stick baits.

Here is a different spoon box that I have, and I like it cause it's clear and you can see all your spoons. It's called a mega spoon caddy. I have a few couple of them.

The spoon box shown does not hold mag spoons, or some of the longer spoons just under the mag size. I actually bought one, & returned it because my mag spoons would not fit. Great concept, & I have a plug & spoon box that is similar in design, however smaller in length & width, the ones I have are not made anymore. The plug box has square partitions in it. I have also made several spoon & plug boxes using tool boxes with plastic partitions cut out on the table saw. These cost me approximately $15 each plus my time.

I have two Special Mate tackle boxes and not only do they hold mag spoons, they also hold the Northern King M-80, which is 6" long. Or are you talking about the one Fishtails posted?

I am speaking of the one pictured above.

You must have the 5" Special Mate. What you want is the 8" Special Mate Spoon Box. It'll hold every spoon length out there.

The shorter box was the only one available @ the Cicero Gander Mountain at the time I was looking for a hanging mag spoon box so they told me. Given that, I made my own mag spoon box & am good to go, also it is smaller & fits in my Lund much better not to mention the $35 I saved by making my own. In general these things are over priced for what you get. I feel that way about the Howie flasher box available too, way over priced for a clear plastic box with two aluminum rails to hold the flashers.

Erby Joe,

I like this version a lot better:

They can handle minis, regulars, and mags all in the same box if you like.

Storm Warning.....do you have the spooncaddy? How ya like it?

I really like mine, but It's not without it's flaws. I love to have all the spoons in sight, without flipping through the cards. Downside for me was they don't hold enough spoons....

My solution was two Spoon caddys for all my favorite spoons, and a special mate for the repeates/extras and ones I don't use much.

Have 3 Spoon Caddies and gettin' a 4th for myself for Christmas. I love them. Keeps everything organized but in plain view for quick switches. The only flaw that I have found is that the plastic latches are constantly falling off.
