Additionally, EDGE boxes are infused with Rustrictor technology, which provides 360 degree protection against rust by incorporating a Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) into the box’s components. Over the season, I didn’t encounter any rust issues with my frog hooks, even while fishing in the brackish waters of the California Delta. The combination of moisture and rust protection, along with the vertical storage system, effectively keeps frogs dry and in top condition.

Identifying and retrieving specific frogs was quick and easy, thanks to the clear polycarbonate lid and one-handed latch design. While some anglers find the latch on EDGE boxes prone to popping open, I’ve become accustomed to it and appreciate how easy it is to operate, even in low-light conditions during early morning, dusk, or night fishing.

Price and Applications: While there’s a lot to like about this latest EDGE box, there are a few considerations anglers should keep in mind when deciding whether the Frog Box - or any EDGE box - is the right fit. The most obvious drawback is the price. EDGE boxes tend to be more expensive than traditional tackle boxes, including Plano’s own standard offerings. As the premium line in their tackle box range, the Frog Box retails for $54.99, making it significantly pricier than most other options. However, for anglers who are passionate about frog fishing, have a solid collection of hollow-bodied baits, and are looking for a durable, long-lasting storage solution, this box is a worthwhile investment.

You can label the box on the outside but it is easy to remember what this box holds as it has a very different form factor than other EDGE boxes

Another consideration is the weight and size. EDGE boxes are more robust than standard tackle boxes, and that comes with a weight penalty. The thicker walls, steel hardware, and polycarbonate lid contribute to the box’s sturdiness, but also its heft. Initially, I found these boxes heavy when transporting multiple to and from the boat, but over time, the weight became less noticeable as I adjusted to them.

The Frog Box’s taller and larger dimensions may also pose a challenge in terms of fitting into your existing tackle bag or storage system. Its size is a result of the application-specific design, which prioritizes vertical storage. However, I found the box more versatile than expected. The same hanger system that keeps frog skirts straight and dry also works exceptionally well for small swimbaits, such as the Megabass Dark Sleeper and Sleeper Gill.
