Plano 1155-03 Tackle Box Review
Our verdict
At $33.24, the Plano 1155-03 sits between the $3.97 Stowaway and the $56.59-to-$84.67 large-format boxes, while matching their 4.7 star rating on 619 reviews. At 4.2 pounds it offers real capacity without the premium price, and 100+ bought last month keeps it in step with the pricier options.

Anglers who want more capacity than a small divider insert but don't need the largest Plano case, and who value a mid-range price with the same 4.7 star rating carried by the more expensive 758 and 757004 boxes.
Skip if
Skip it if maximum capacity is the priority, since the heavier 757004 and 758 offer more volume and, in the 757004's case, currently sell at 300+ bought last month versus 100+ here, a sign of stronger recent demand at a similar or lower price.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Between a pocket-sized divider box and a full-size case sits a middle tier, and the Plano 1155-03 fills that gap at $33.24 and 4.2 pounds. Finished in beige and blue, it's built from plastic and positioned as a practical, everyday tackle box rather than a specialty item.
Its 4.7 star rating matches the pricier Plano 758 and 757004 exactly, though its 619-review count trails their 1,100 reviews each and the Stowaway's 1,600. That places it as the least-reviewed of the four Plano products in this comparison, even while holding the same top rating as the two larger boxes.
Bought last month sits at 100+, matching the 758 and Stowaway but running behind the 757004's 300+. For anglers who want a genuine 4.7 star box without paying the $56.59 to $84.67 asked for the larger cases, the 1155-03's $33.24 price and 4.2-pound build make it a reasonable middle option, though the 757004's stronger recent sales are worth noting before choosing.
Pros
- 4.7 star rating matches the pricier $56.59 757004 and $84.67 758 boxes exactly
- At $33.24, it costs roughly 40 percent less than the 757004 and 60 percent less than the 758
- 4.2-pound build offers real capacity above a small divider insert like the Stowaway
- Plastic construction keeps the box lightweight relative to its size
- 100+ bought last month shows steady demand in line with the pricier 758
Cons
- 619 reviews is the lowest count of the four Plano products in this comparison
- Bought last month at 100+ trails the 757004's 300+ despite a similar price gap
- Beige and blue color scheme is less distinct than the 758's green metallic/silver finish
- No standout feature beyond the generic 'Great Product' listing description

Performance notes
At 4.2 pounds, the 1155-03 lands in a middle weight class for this comparison, heavier than the pocket-sized Stowaway but lighter than the 757004's larger build, which generally tracks with a mid-size tray and compartment layout suited to a standard rod-and-reel setup rather than a full boat locker's worth of gear. Plastic construction keeps the box manageable to carry to and from the water without adding bulk. The beige and blue finish is more understated than the 758's green metallic and silver scheme, which may matter less than the shared 4.7 star rating those two boxes carry. For anglers weighing capacity against price, the 1155-03's 4.2 pounds and $33.24 price tag suggest a box built for regular use rather than maximum storage, positioned as a practical daily option instead of a specialty case.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average puts the 1155-03 in a three-way tie with the 757004 and 758 for the top rating in this comparison, but its 619 reviews are well behind their 1,100 each and far behind the Stowaway's 1,600. That smaller review base with an equally high rating could mean it's a newer or lower-volume listing that simply hasn't accumulated as much feedback yet, rather than a quality gap. The 100+ bought-last-month figure matches the 758's pace but falls short of the 757004's 300+, suggesting current buyer interest leans toward the 757004 at a similar price point, even though the 1155-03's rating history looks just as solid.
