Meiho Boxes

I have been reading about Meiho boxes for years...just never bought any. Today my order came and I must say I am very impressed. This is top quality gear....the cost is reasonable but shipping is quite high. But....I got mine out of Japan. Meiho has a webstore in California and has free shipping but you must order 139 bucks to qualify for free shipping. Yeah I know a lot of money. They have all types of boxes but I was looking at the UL type gearboxes...and they have a bunch. I will do a video review in a few days on the boxes I got. The box with the Trout Magnets inside is their Light Game J Box. By the way their boxes are made in Japan. Just some info for those that have wondered about their boxes....in my opinion they're everything they're cracked up to be.

Actually only the Bison and Sow Bug are my go to colors. I just carry the others in case the fish do not want the 2 top colors…which I have to say is rare. I think I have around 5000 Bison colored Trout Magnets. Even if they quit making them I got enough to see me through for my lifetime….LOL. Of course I got that many as I was given the keys to the store so to speak about 5 years back.

I’ll get some pic’s tomorrow using the slit foam for the D2 jigs….which is basically a lop sided head hair jig. But the thing is deadly on trout in deeper water. I’m constantly trying to do better organization. When I fished out of a kayak I only used a Plano 3700 box. Did that for 4 years or so and it served me well. Now that I am on a trout river need a little different setup. On days when there is no flow the Light Game J box will be all I need. On heavy water days take the small crank…spoons and the D2 jigs. Should work out pretty good.

No I got them at FishingShop Kiwi. Digitaka was out of stock on most all of them. The boxes are really priced very good but man the shipping was a killer.

I’ve canceled an order or two from fishingshop before due to the shipping costs. They’re great but I now usually wait until I place a large order to use them.

I had to shy away from a Fishing Shop Kiwi order due to the shipping costs they quoted (approx. $60). Wish their shipping policy was like Digitaka. [emoji25]

Amazon does sell them. However even though the shipping is high from Kiwi if you are buying several it is still the cheaper way to go. I’m going scope out the Meiho US web-store.

I have a good number of the black ones but I’m not sure if they are 6 or 8 size hooks - my eyes can’t tell the difference the two. Damn dog knocked over my tackle box about a year ago and they all got mixed up. [emoji107]

Gamakatsu makes great boxes as well. Made in Japan just like Meiho and Amazon Prime had had Gamakatsu slit foam boxes for 40% off last week for $11.98 shipped. Scored 3 of them.

Amazon still has their smaller 3200 slit foam box at 40% off. I prefer a shorter height box around 1". Might buy a Meiho if I can find their boxes shipped at a decent price.

Limited-time deal: Gamakatsu G3200SF G-Box, 3200 Slit Foam Case, Blue, Size 8.1" x 5.7" x 1.6" https://a.co/d/46d0jsZ Attachment 456311

A lot of if not almost all of the japanese fishing branded boxes are just rebranded meiho boxes, they're like the plano of japan

I was going to order a few and I remembered the stacks of Plano boxes I already own .
Since I do 90+% bank fishing now , I’ve gone to ziplock bags to keep my tackle in .
A lot less weight to carry around in the zippered pouch on my stool I carry around with a shoulder strap.
My forceps clip on my pants pocket and my snips clip on my belt loop on my right , my towel on the left side belt loop . I poke most of the towel into a side pocket on my cargo shorts .
Since I mainly been using Trout Magnets , I don’t need to carry a lot of tackle .
