237 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
Imagine restocking a starter tackle bag before a season opener and wanting one box that comes preloaded rather than buying lures piece by piece. The TCMBY 321PCS is built from plastic in a white and black finish, priced at $27.99, and marketed as a fishing gear and lure kit packed into a single tackle box.
At 1,000+ units bought last month, demand is strong relative to the Plano-brand alternatives in this comparison, all of which sit at the 100+ tier. That said, its 4.2 star average across 237 reviews is the lowest rating among the tackle boxes reviewed here, trailing the Plano 758 and Plano 1155-03 at 4.7 stars and the Plano 23500-00 at 4.6 stars.
The review count of 237 is also the smallest sample in this set, well under the Plano 758's 1,100 and the Plano 23500-00's 1,600. That doesn't invalidate the rating, but it does mean the 4.2 stars carries less statistical weight than the higher review counts elsewhere. For buyers prioritizing low upfront cost and a pre-packed kit over the highest possible rating, the price and purchase volume make a reasonable case.
Pros
- Priced at $27.99, cheaper than the Plano 758 ($84.67) and Plano 1155-03 ($33.24)
- 1,000+ bought last month, well ahead of the 100+ tier alternatives
- Plastic build keeps it lightweight for a packed tackle bag
- Marketed as a fishing gear and lure kit, bundling tackle box and contents together
- In-stock availability with no supply concerns noted
Cons

- 237 reviews is the smallest sample size among the alternatives listed
- Trails the Plano 758 and Plano 1155-03 by 0.5 stars
- White and black color scheme offers no alternative colorway
- No listed weight or piece dimensions to verify capacity claims

Performance notes
As a plastic box marketed with a fishing gear and lure kit feature, the value proposition here leans on bundling rather than premium build quality alone. At $27.99, it's priced closer to the Plano 1155-03's $33.24 than the higher-end Plano 758, which suggests it's competing on the budget end of this category. The 4.2 star rating, while the lowest in this comparison, still sits comfortably above the 4.0 threshold that typically signals a product with more satisfied buyers than dissatisfied ones. Buyers should weigh the smaller 237-review sample against the larger, higher-rated samples from Plano when deciding how much confidence to place in the current rating trend.
What buyers say
A 4.2 star average is the lowest among the tackle boxes compared here, and paired with a review count of just 237, it's also resting on the thinnest sample size in this set. That combination suggests the rating hasn't been stress-tested by volume the way the Plano options have, with 619 to 1,600 reviews apiece. At the same time, 1,000+ bought last month shows current buyers are choosing this listing at a healthy clip, which reads as strong short-term demand even if the longer review history is comparatively light.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the TCMBY 321PCS rated lower than other tackle boxes here?
Its 4.2 star average across 237 reviews trails the Plano 758 and Plano 1155-03, both at 4.7 stars, and the Plano 23500-00 at 4.6 stars. The smaller review sample of 237 also means less data has shaped that average so far.
Does the 1,000+ bought last month figure make up for the lower rating?
It signals strong recent demand, well above the 100+ tier of the Plano alternatives, but purchase volume and star rating measure different things. Buyers weighing satisfaction should still factor in the 0.5 star gap versus top-rated options.
How does the price compare to similar plastic tackle boxes?
At $27.99, it undercuts the Plano 758 ($84.67) and Plano 1155-03 ($33.24), landing it among the more affordable plastic options in this comparison, just above the ultra-budget Plano 23500-00 at $3.97.
