PLUSINNO Large 3 Layers Fishing Tackle Box with Tackle Included, Review
Our verdict
At $44.97, the PLUSINNO 3-layer tackle box earns its keep by bundling 415 pieces, pliers, and a lip gripper into one carbon-steel-latched case, and a 4.4-star average across 725 reviews backs up the value pitch for anglers who want gear included, not just a box.

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
Tackle boxes usually force a choice: buy an empty case and fill it yourself, or buy a kit and hope the included gear is worth using. PLUSINNO's Large 3 Layers box tries to answer that by shipping both at once. For $44.97 you get a carbon steel and plastic case with three lift-out layers plus 415 pieces, which the listing breaks down as including a fish lip gripper, fishing pliers, and an assortment of lures.
The blue case sits in a crowded field of tackle storage. Plano's 758 box costs almost double at $84.67 and pulls a stronger 4.7-star average across 1,100 reviews, while Plano's tiny 23500-00 Stowaway undercuts everyone at $3.97 with a 4.6-star rating across 1,600 reviews, though it is a single adjustable-divider tray with no bundled gear. Plano's 1155-03 sits closer in price at $33.24 with a 4.7-star average across 619 reviews. Against that field, PLUSINNO's 4.4-star average across 725 reviews is respectable but is the lowest rating of the four, even as it undercuts Plano's comparable 758 on price by nearly $40.
Bought last month sits at 50+, a modest figure next to the 100+ pace on all three Plano boxes in this comparison. That gap suggests PLUSINNO's real draw is the included-gear bundle rather than pure box-buying volume, which lines up with anglers shopping for a complete starter kit rather than an empty case to fill themselves.
Pros
- 415 pieces included, covering lures, hooks, and small tackle in one purchase
- Bundled fish lip gripper and fishing pliers add tool value beyond storage
- Three-layer design gives more organized compartments than a single flat tray
- 4.4-star average across 725 reviews shows consistent satisfaction at scale
- Priced at $44.97, nearly half of Plano's comparable 758 box at $84.67
- Carbon steel and plastic construction mixes durability with lighter overall weight
Cons
- 4.4-star rating is the lowest of the four tackle boxes compared here
- 50+ bought last month trails the 100+ pace of all three Plano alternatives
- Included lures and tools may duplicate gear anglers already own
- No stated weight spec, making it harder to judge portability against competitors
- Bundled tackle quality is unverified beyond the overall rating pattern

Performance notes
A 3-layer case with 415 included pieces is built around volume and organization rather than premium latch engineering. The carbon steel and plastic mix suggests the frame and clasps use metal for durability while the trays stay lightweight plastic, a common approach for boxes meant to be carried rather than left in a truck. The bundled fish lip gripper and pliers point to this being marketed as a starter or all-in-one kit, not a pure storage upgrade for someone with an established tackle collection. Compared to the Plano Stowaway's single adjustable-divider tray, three layers should mean better separation of lure types, hook sizes, and terminal tackle, provided the trays lift out cleanly. The blue color and carbon steel accents are cosmetic details rather than functional ones. Buyers should weigh whether they need the included 415 pieces at all, since that bundle is a meaningful part of the $44.97 price versus buying an empty organizer separately.
What buyers say
A 4.4-star average across 725 reviews is a solid but not standout result when set against three Plano boxes all rating 4.6 or higher in this same category. The 50+ bought-last-month figure is also the lowest of the four, which could reflect a newer listing still building review volume, or simply less overall demand than the more established Plano line. Neither the rating nor the volume signals a problem, but the pattern suggests PLUSINNO's box wins buyers on the included-gear bundle and price gap rather than on outright popularity or top-tier satisfaction scores within its own product category.

Frequently asked questions
Does the PLUSINNO tackle box come with real tackle or just empty trays?
The listing specifies 415 included pieces plus a fish lip gripper and fishing pliers, so this is sold as a complete kit rather than an empty organizer. Anglers who already have a full tackle supply should weigh whether that bundled gear adds value or just duplicates what they own.
How does the PLUSINNO box compare to Plano's tackle boxes on price?
At $44.97, PLUSINNO undercuts the comparable Plano 758 by nearly $40, though the 758 carries a higher 4.7-star rating across 1,100 reviews. Plano's tiny Stowaway tray is far cheaper at $3.97 but offers a single compartment with no included gear.
Is the 4.4-star rating on 725 reviews a reliable signal?
A 4.4-star average across 725 reviews is a meaningful sample size and generally reads as solid, though it trails the 4.6 to 4.7 range posted by the three Plano boxes compared here, suggesting slightly more mixed feedback overall.
