Anglers who fish in wet conditions and want a box built around a waterproof silicone seal, and who are comfortable paying a mid-range price for that extra protection.
Skip if

167 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
The 3 G048 Tackle Box is priced at $23.99 and built from polypropylene with a waterproof-blue silicone pad, a feature specifically called out for water resistance. That positions it between the sub-$5 ZUFECY organizers and the pricier Plano 1155-03 at $33.24, landing in the mid-range of this comparison on price.
Its 4.4 star average across 167 reviews is a respectable showing, though it sits below the 4.6 to 4.7 stars posted by the three Plano boxes referenced here. The review sample of 167 is modest, larger than the ZUFECY boxes but far smaller than the 1,600-plus reviews behind the Plano 23500-00, so the rating is reasonably established but not as statistically deep as the category leaders.
The silicone pad and PC feature set this box apart on the spec sheet, since none of the Plano alternatives in this comparison list a dedicated waterproofing element. For anglers who fish in rain or near heavy spray, that sealed design may matter more than a slightly higher star rating from a competitor without the same feature.
Pros
- Waterproof-blue silicone pad specifically built for moisture resistance
- Polypropylene construction, a durable plastic type for a tackle box shell
- 4.4 star average across 167 reviews, a solidly established rating
- Priced at $23.99, below the Plano 1155-03 and well under the Plano 758
- Silicone pad and PC feature combination not listed on any Plano competitor here
Cons
- Listed bought last month is 0+, so current sales momentum is unclear
- 167 reviews is a smaller sample than the 600 to 1,700-plus reviews behind the Plano boxes
- Rating trails the 4.6 to 4.7 stars posted by all three Plano alternatives
- Listed size spec of 1.0 Feet suggests a compact box rather than high-capacity storage

Performance notes
The standout spec here is the waterproof-blue silicone pad combined with a polypropylene shell, a pairing built specifically to seal out moisture. Polypropylene is a tougher, more chemical and impact-resistant plastic than the standard plastic used in the ZUFECY boxes, which suggests a sturdier shell overall. The 1.0 feet piece count listing likely reflects a compact single-unit box rather than a stacked multi-tray system like the Plano 758. For anglers fishing in rain, near saltwater spray, or in humid conditions, the sealed silicone design addresses a specific need that the Plano boxes in this comparison do not explicitly call out on their spec sheets.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 167 reviews reflects a generally positive reception, though the sample size is modest next to the Plano boxes in this comparison, some of which carry well over a thousand reviews. That smaller base means the rating is reasonably trustworthy but not as deeply tested as the category leaders. The listed bought last month figure of 0+ does not confirm strong recent momentum, so buyers relying on current demand signals may want to weigh the established review history more heavily than the sales-volume figure when deciding.

How does the G048 tackle box rating compare to Plano models?
At 4.4 stars across 167 reviews, it trails the 4.6 to 4.7 star average posted by the Plano 758, Plano 23500-00, and Plano 1155-03, though its review sample is smaller than all three.
Is $23.99 a fair price for this tackle box?
It sits below the Plano 1155-03's $33.24 and well under the Plano 758's $84.67, while adding a waterproof silicone seal those competitors do not list. For wet-condition fishing, that feature can justify the mid-range price.
