I know what you're thinking, "Girl, this is a craft blog, not a fishing one!" But this little plastic lure box by Plano is a wonderful way to store and organize your jewelry findings.

When I used to sit down to make a pair of earrings, I had supplies everywhere. Headpins in plastic baggies, crimp beads in vials, earwires in jars. My supplies were a mess! Then I stumbled upon the Plano lure box while browsing my favorite online jewelry supply store and decided to give it a try.

What I like most about this box is its size: 4.5" wide by 4" deep and 1" thick. It's small enough to tuck into a bag if I want to take my supplies with me. But it's big enough to store all of my findings.

I realize that four inches doesn't sound like a lot of space, but this little box packs a big punch. There are removable dividers inside so that the compartments can be adjusted from eleven all the way up to thirty two. The largest compartments are 2.25" long, which is big enough for even my longest headpins. And the smallest compartments are just 0.5" long which is perfect for my jump rings, crimp beads, and other tiny bits.



Both sides of the box have covers so that when it's closed, your supplies stay put. And there's even a latch on the outside so you can secure the box closed.

Pros:

• Adjustable compartments
• Covers on each side/compartment keep tiny bits in place
• Latch to keep box closed
• Small size is perfect to take with yo

Cons:

• Small size is great, but another inch bigger would be even better!
• Adjustable dividers sometimes let small pieces slide under or over them
• Wish it came in colors other than gray

Since this is a lure box, and not actually something meant for crafting, finding it in online craft stores can be a bit tricky. It retails for $8.99 and can be found at Fire Mountain Gems, Bass Pro Shops, and Thorne Brothers.

It's a great value for such a little price. I've loved using mine since I got it and can't imagine going back to my old ways of storing my supplies. I'd give this little box a 9 out of 10.
