When most people think of a fishing tackle box, they probably don't think of portable radios. However, I've found that the Daiwa D-Box Large Deep Tackle Tray makes an outstanding storage solution for my radio gear. Originally designed for anglers, its rugged construction and flexible layout are almost perfect for the radio monitoring hobby. The tray features a strong four-latch design, a water-resistant gasket seal, and up to 20 customisable compartments thanks to its removable divider system.
After using a number of different cases over the years, this has become my new daily carry case whenever I head out monitoring.
Modified for Radio Use
The first thing I did was customise the tray for handheld radios.
I've added foam and padding to the rear radio compartments, giving the radios extra protection while they're being transported. The padding helps stop them moving around and prevents the cases from rubbing against each other during travel.
It's a simple modification, but it makes a big difference in protecting the equipment.
Flexible Storage
One of my favourite features is the removable divider system.
As my radio collection changes, or depending on what I'm taking with me for the day, I can quickly rearrange the compartments to suit. Whether I'm carrying scanners, amateur handhelds, spare batteries, antennas, programming cables or adapters, the layout can be changed in just a few minutes. That flexibility means I'm not locked into one configuration. The case can evolve as my equipment and monitoring needs change.
Built to Last
The build quality is excellent. The plastic is thick and rigid, the latches feel solid, and the whole case inspires confidence. Unlike some cheaper storage boxes that flex or feel flimsy, this one feels like it will stand up to years of use in the car, out in the field, or sitting on the shack shelf. It's exactly what I want for protecting equipment that costs significantly more than the storage case itself.
Outstanding Value
Perhaps the biggest surprise is the price. At less than $25, this has been one of the best radio accessory purchases I've made. It's a significant improvement over my previous carry case, offering better protection, more flexibility, and much better organisation.
Sometimes the best radio accessories aren't actually made for radios. This fishing tackle tray is a perfect example.
If you're looking for a strong, adaptable and affordable way to carry your scanners and radio accessories, the Daiwa D-Box Large Deep Tackle Tray is well worth considering.
