The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Plano 728001 is a blend-material tackle box weighing 5.65 pounds, by far the heaviest option in this comparison, more than the Plano 1155-03 at 4.2 pounds and dramatically more than the ounce-scale clear boxes like the Plano 344010 or Plano 344922. At $49.99, it also sits toward the higher end of the price range covered here, below only the Plano 758 at $84.67.
Despite the higher price, the review numbers hold up well. With 4,300 reviews and a 4.7 star rating, plus 1,000 or more bought last month, the 728001 posts both a strong rating and a review count second only to the Plano 344010's 7,400. That combination of size, price, and review volume suggests this box has found a real market among anglers looking for a complete storage system rather than a small accessory.
Given its weight and price point, the 728001 reads as a serious tackle organization purchase, more comparable in ambition to the Plano 758 than to any of the light clear boxes in this lineup, but with a much larger review base backing up its 4.7 star score.
Pros
- 4,300 reviews at 4.7 stars, the second-largest review count in this comparison
- 1,000+ bought last month, indicating strong demand despite the higher price
- 5.65 pound build suggests substantial capacity for a full tackle collection
- 4.7 star rating ties the top score among all boxes compared here
- Blend material construction for a full-size storage system
Cons
- $49.99 price is among the highest in this comparison, well above budget options like the Plano 344010 at $5.86
- 5.65 pound weight makes it far less portable than the lightweight clear boxes
- Not ideal for anglers who only need to store a small amount of tackle
- Size and weight require more storage space in a boat or vehicle

Performance notes
At 5.65 pounds, the 728001 is built for capacity, almost certainly a multi-tray or stowaway-style system rather than a single flat tray. That weight, combined with a $49.99 price, puts it in the same tier as the Plano 758 in terms of ambition, aimed at anglers who want one box to hold a broad range of tackle rather than several small boxes for different categories. Blend material construction typically balances durability with weight management, though 5.65 pounds is still a meaningful load to carry to a boat or dock. For anglers consolidating tackle from multiple smaller boxes, this size and capacity profile is the clear draw, at the cost of portability compared to the lighter options in this lineup.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star rating across 4,300 reviews, with 1,000 or more bought last month, is a strong result for a box priced at $49.99. It shows that buyers willing to pay a premium for a full-capacity system are, on the whole, satisfied at a rate matching the best-reviewed budget boxes in this comparison, like the Plano 344010. The review count, second only to that same budget box, suggests this is a widely adopted choice among anglers seeking a complete tackle storage solution rather than a niche or specialty purchase, with purchase volume that remains high despite the price sitting near the top of this comparison set.
