738 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
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
Shoppers comparing bait storage options on price alone will find the Plano 465100 sitting in the middle of the field at $15.99, more than three times the Flambeau 3003's $4.79 but well under the Marine SS212's $49.99. That places it as a mid range choice rather than the cheapest or priciest pick on the list.
What stands out about the 465100 is its rating rather than any standout spec sheet, since the facts available do not list material, weight or color for this listing. At 4.7 stars across 738 reviews, it ties the Frabill 4501 for the highest rating in this comparison, ahead of the 4.5 star marks on both the Flambeau 3003 and Marine SS212.
Demand tells a more mixed story. The 465100 saw 200 or more units bought last month, the same tier as the Marine SS212 and well behind the 1,000 or more monthly pace of the Flambeau 3003 and Frabill 4501. Its 738 reviews is also a smaller sample than either of those two rivals. For anglers who trust the rating pattern over raw popularity, the 465100 holds its own, but buyers chasing the biggest track record should look at the higher volume options first.

- 738 reviews is a small sample next to the Flambeau 3003's 10,700
- No material, weight or color specs are listed for this product
- At $15.99, it costs more than three times the Flambeau 3003's $4.79 without a rating advantage
Performance notes
The facts available for the 465100 do not include material, weight, capacity or color, which makes it hard to judge build quality or size against rivals like the Flambeau 3003 or Marine SS212 on paper. What is clear is the price and rating context: at $15.99, it costs more than three times the Flambeau 3003's $4.79 but well under the Marine SS212's $49.99, and its 4.7 star average matches the top rated option in this comparison, the Frabill 4501. For anglers who shop mainly on reputation rather than spec sheets, that rating parity is the strongest signal available. Buyers who want to compare capacity, weight or material before choosing should look to product listings with fuller spec sheets, since none of that detail carries over from the facts here.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average across 738 reviews puts the 465100 in a tie with the Frabill 4501 for the top rating in this comparison, ahead of the 4.5 star marks on the Flambeau 3003 and Marine SS212. That said, 738 reviews is a modest sample next to Flambeau's 10,700, so the rating rests on a smaller base of feedback. The 200 or more units bought last month matches the slowest pace in this group, tied with the Marine SS212 and well behind the 1,000 or more monthly volume of the Flambeau 3003 and Frabill 4501. Read together, the pattern suggests a well liked product with a smaller, steadier following rather than a high volume category leader.
