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
Picture a first-time buyer grabbing a tackle box on the way to a weekend trip who just wants the cheapest option that still has real reviews behind it. The Plano 371610 fits that scenario at $13.99, the lowest price of any tackle box in this comparison.
That low cost comes with a tradeoff. Its 4.3 star rating across 830 reviews is the weakest score among the group, sitting below the 620206, WP5001, and 3113305, all of which hold 4.6 stars or higher. It weighs 1.2 pounds, built from a blended material, and comes in a transparent color that lets anglers see contents without opening the box, similar in concept to the WP5001's translucent shell.
Demand sits at 100 or more units bought last month, matching the pace reported for the 758, Stowaway, and 1155-03, though well behind the 620206's 2,000+. The 830 review count sits between the 1155-03's 619 and the 758's 1,100, a middle-of-the-pack sample size for the lowest price in the comparison. For anglers who prioritize the lowest sticker price and can accept a slightly lower rating, the 371610 delivers exactly that tradeoff.

- Blend material may not match the corrosion resistance of the Zerust-based WP5001
- 100+ units bought last month is well behind the 620206's 2,000+

Performance notes
At 1.2 pounds, the 371610 is one of the lighter tackle boxes in this comparison, close to the WP5001's 9.28 ounces and lighter than the 758's roughly 4.4 pound build. The blend material construction is a step down from Plano's dedicated plastic line used in the 620206 and 1155-03, which may explain the lower 4.3 star rating relative to those two boxes. Transparent coloring functions the same way as the WP5001's translucent shell, letting anglers spot contents at a glance rather than opening the lid to check. For $13.99, buyers are trading some rating headroom for the lowest entry price in the lineup, a reasonable exchange for anglers who replace tackle boxes often or just need basic storage rather than a long-term investment piece.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average across 830 reviews is the lowest rating in this comparison, falling short of the 4.6 to 4.7 range every other box here carries. That gap suggests a somewhat higher rate of dissatisfaction among buyers, though 830 reviews is still a meaningful sample, larger than the 1155-03's 619. A reported 100 or more units bought last month keeps pace with the 758, Stowaway, and 1155-03, indicating the lower price point is still pulling in steady purchases despite the rating gap. The overall pattern reads as a budget product that satisfies most buyers but draws more mixed feedback than its pricier or better-reviewed competitors.
