Tools, Accessories, and Tackle Management
YETI Hopper M30
The updated Hopper Soft Cooler eliminates zippers in favor of a magnetic closure that, combined with a fold-over system, creates a leakproof seal to keep the cold in. The magnetic seal is easier to open than the previous heavy-duty zippers and allows for a larger opening. The M30 holds 7.2 gallons and comes in three colors: river green, navy, and charcoal.

Plano Edge
Plano Edge storage trays, with their Duraview crystal-clear lids and one-handed easy-to-use latches, use multiple defenses against moisture and corrosion while protecting tackle and keeping it organized. The Dri-Loc rubber gaskets create a watertight seal between the lid and base that moisture cannot penetrate. Plano’s exclusive Rustrictor material is infused into every Edge box, preventing terminal tackle and baits from corroding. To help increase airflow throughout the box and to assist Rustrictor’s rust-preventing properties, the boxes include unique pre-separated, vented dividers. The Edge series boxes also use Water Wick—a water-absorbing, rechargeable, desiccant divider.
