I typically have been keeping all of my rigging gear in the leaning post of my Yellowfin 24. Yellowfin created some fantastic storage  that was previously wasted so I have organized it well with the 3600 Plano boxes.

This past week we had a few cold days on the water and it helped me to realize that there may be a better solution. Because the area is in the middle of the boat, it is a comfortable place to sit and it is also the only shade on the boat, it is often where everyone wants to be.  Additionally, the lean post gets crowded with jackets, sunscreen, and really anything that needs to be set down. This often blocks me from easily getting to my rigging gear or having to ask a guest to move so that I can get to the fluorocarbon, hooks or other tackle. 

Plano just came out with the new Edge waterproof boxes.  They come in many sizes but the one that is useful in this situation is one that is designed for plastics.  It is the same foot print as a 3700 box but it is 7 inches deep.  I can store an entire set of Daiwa J-Fluorocarbon, my most used hooks, jigs, terminal tackle and a few lures.  I still keep the majority of the tackle in the lean post but I have everything I need in one of these waterproof boxes.  I can store this in a forward hatch and easily get to it if the lean post is crowded.  At night, I can bring just the box in to work on the rods and get them ready for the next day.  

These boxes can also be great storage for emergency gear, wallets, keys, phones and other important gear.  Check them out here.
