Reply With QuoteI've been using the Special Mate for several years, it stores way better due to the fact it is not as tall. I use the one without the dividers so I can get 180 in each box, got 2 and need another one.

Torn between B and B and special mate. Just want something I can get under my deck to store. Any pros and cons of each from some folks who have owned or used both. Have heard they are both quality units. If you want pm me, so it won't turn into a "this is better cause I use it" thread. I know both are good, just what features set each unit apart, like stackability, ease of access, flotation, durability, and bait preservation in heat.

5 inch special mate.....with dividers holds 120 baits.....without dividers hooks can get tangled. The special mates are stackable too. I have 4 of them now and fixing to order another one.

The wife would like em to be stackable where it doesn't take up as much room as the rest of my crap. At least I can hide it in the corner of the shop

Special mate stack good......i can stack 6 of them in front of console on my boat with out taking up a lot of room. I usually just carry three with me in the boat tho. You can turn them upside down and shake them....none get tangled or hooked together with the dividers. The 5 inch is all you need for crappie cranks.....the tall ones are for long baits....like for musky or something.

The canvas is a cool idea, I'd just have to have 10 of em, close to the same cost of a box each. I like the hard side for the durability. I'm liking the idea of the special mates
