Chub Smart Box Complete Review

There’s a plethora or tackle boxes available these days, many of which have followed Fox’s original concept. The Chub Smart Box has been around a while and in this ‘system’ version offers a multiple internal compartments, boxes and hook-link spools. Each is designed with rounded bottom edges to make flipping them out of the main box a doddle.

The plastic construction is robust, although we did find the clasps a little fragile. That said, they bedded in once they’d been opened and closed a few times. The lid, which when opened sits flat to form a work surface for tying rigs and the like, features measuring markers to ensure consistent rig length.

The flip-top compartment boxes allow storage of all the smaller items of terminal tackle and there are enough of them to swallow more bits and bobs than you’ll ever realistically need. With continued opening and closing one of two of these needed some encouragement to stay shut, but this was only in the case of the very off lid.



If a couple of these points seem a little negative, neither would be a reason not to buy a smart box, especially when you consider that at just a penny under 20 quid, you could buy two of these and it would still be considerably cheaper than some others on the market!

Description

The Chub Smart Box is a comprehensive tackle box, which allows the angler to be organized and keep all the necessary rig items and components stored safely and securely. The systematic design has many features, which have been carefully thought out to ensure the best use of space. Internal accessory boxes have a unique one touch system, making them easy to access.

Included with the complete set are, 2 - 4 and 8 compartment large accessory boxes and two smaller 4 compartment boxes. There are also two shallow 8 compartment boxes that are perfect for storing very small items of tackle such as swivels, beads and rig rings. The complete system also comes with 8 spool dispensers, perfect for the angler who needs to store a multitude of hook length materials, PVA or leaders.



A cleverly designed hinge system allows the Chub Smart Box lid to fold flat forming a tray for rig assembly. Also built into the lid are two rulers for precise rig assembly and a groove seal around its edge that is water resistant when shut. The box is safely and tightly sealed with two flush fitting "sure-shut" clips.

The Chub Smart Box is supplied either as a complete system featuring seven assorted internal accessory boxes and eight spool dispensers or just the Smart Box base on its own to suit personal preference. The internal accessory boxes are available separately in an assorted pack of five and pack of two for the shallow accessory boxes. The spool dispensers are available in packs of three.
