Reaction RT-TRAY-12-1 Tackle Box Review
Our verdict
The Reaction RT-TRAY-12-1 costs $38.98 for a set of 3 clear transparent trays and holds a 4.6 star average across 196 reviews, but its bought-last-month figure shows 0+, the weakest recent demand signal of any box in this comparison.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers who specifically want fully transparent trays to see contents at a glance and are willing to pay a premium per unit for that clarity, and who are comfortable buying based on a smaller 196-review sample rather than a large track record.
Skip if
Skip it if recent sales momentum matters to you, since the 0+ bought-last-month figure suggests very little current purchase activity compared to the 100+ to 8,000+ range seen on every other box in this set. Budget-conscious buyers will also find better per-tray value elsewhere.

196 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
Clear tackle trays let an angler spot a specific lure without popping open every lid, and the Reaction RT-TRAY-12-1 leans fully into that idea with a transparent, plastic 3-piece set priced at $38.98. Divided across the set, that works out to roughly $13 per tray, notably higher on a per-unit basis than the LARIPOP 4-pack's roughly $6.30 per tray.
The specs list plastic construction, a clear finish, and a transparent feature callout, with three pieces included in the set. At 196 reviews, it has the smallest review base in this entire comparison, well under the 262 to 2,300 range seen across the other boxes, which means its 4.6 star average rests on a thinner sample size than most alternatives here.
The more notable figure is bought last month, listed at 0+, compared to 100+ or higher for every other box in this set, up to 8,000+ for the PLUSINNO kit. That gap suggests recent purchase activity has slowed considerably, even though the historical rating remains solid, a pattern worth weighing against the higher per-tray price.

- 4.6 star average across 196 reviews is a strong historical rating
- Fully transparent construction lets anglers see tray contents without opening the lid
- 3-piece set provides multiple trays for sorting different tackle categories

- At roughly $13 per tray, it costs more per unit than the LARIPOP 4-pack's roughly $6.30 per tray
- $38.98 total price is the second highest in this comparison behind the YakAttack BLP-PRO
- No metal or reinforced components, unlike the budget Flambeau option

Performance notes
The listing centers on transparency as the main feature, plastic construction across three pieces with a clear, see-through finish. That design favors quick visual identification of tackle over ruggedness or capacity, since clear plastic can also show scratches and wear more visibly than opaque alternatives over time. With three pieces in the set, an angler gets multiple trays for organizing tackle types separately, similar in concept to the LARIPOP 4-pack but with fewer units and a higher per-tray cost. The specs do not list weight or dimensions, so sizing relative to a tackle bag or crate should be checked directly on the current listing before purchase.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average is respectable, but it is built on only 196 reviews, the smallest base in this comparison, meaning the rating carries more uncertainty than the 619 to 2,300-review boxes elsewhere in this set. The 0+ bought-last-month figure is the clearest signal here: every other box in this comparison shows at least 100+ purchases in the same window, several showing hundreds or thousands more. That pattern points to a product with a decent historical track record but little current purchase momentum, which is worth factoring in alongside the price.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Reaction RT-TRAY-12-1 show 0+ bought last month?
The listing data shows minimal recent purchase activity compared to every other tackle box in this comparison, which report at least 100+ bought last month. This may reflect lower current stock turnover or reduced recent visibility rather than a change in the product itself.
How much does each tray cost in the 3-piece set?
At $38.98 for 3 pieces, each tray works out to roughly $13, higher on a per-unit basis than the LARIPOP 4-pack, which runs about $6.30 per tray at $25.19 for four.
Is a 196-review rating reliable enough to trust?
A 4.6 star average across 196 reviews is a decent signal but rests on a notably smaller sample than the 619 to 2,300 reviews behind most other boxes in this comparison, so it carries more statistical uncertainty.
