Custom Wood Tackle Boxes

[mmayo]

I make custom tackle boxes and you can see the variety of woods, stains and designs below.  They are made by hand and require many long hours to complete.  It usually takes at least a week for the multi-coat spar varnish finish alone.  They are tough with all of the boxes you see below veterans of years of long range fishing experience.  Contact me to discuss having one built for you.  mlmayo2@verizon.net

Series 3700 = Roughly $1000 with stainless steel tube rocket launchers

El primero

Series 3600 = Roughly $950
with stainless steel tube or matching wood rocket launchers

Here are five of my boxes on the tackle rack of the Royal Star.



As you can see there has been an attempt to add variety to the boxes so each is a bit unique.  The most common wood species is African Magogany and it makes for a beautiful and very strong tackle box that is FUNCTIONAL on the water.

The small gray cylinders are line pullers that prevent line cuts when tightening down on a knot. I hate line cuts and the possible infection of them on sports boats. I tie the knot and pull it tight with the puller. I can get the knot much tighter than by hand alone. They are golden when spectra is involved. I managed zero line cuts on my last 10 day trip on the Vagbond!

They easily survive and are designed to last forever. The first versions are almost ten yeare old and appear new.

WOW, they are beautiful, Mark. Are the two eye bolts on the front of the boxes used to tighten a knot when tying on a hook?

Yes, I use them tyng each hook and pulling well past what the fish should pull. I find lots of others folks like them too. Great way to meet people.
