Plano 3440-10 Waterproof Stowaway Tackle Box, Clear with O-Ring Seal

Some gear needs to stay easy to reach, small valuables and fishing essentials benefit from a closed, sealed place of their own. The Plano 3440-10 Waterproof Stowaway is a compact, single-compartment storage box for keeping those items together.

Its clear plastic body makes it easier to see what you’ve packed, while the Dri-Loc O-ring seal and three cam-action latches help keep the compartment closed against water.

Use it for fishing tackle, lures, a cell phone, or other small valuables. The rectangular shape and compact dimensions make it convenient to pack with your outdoor gear.

Tips for day-to-day use

Set aside the box for the small items you want kept together, such as lures, fishing accessories, or personal valuables. Since it has one compartment, it works well for a focused group of essentials rather than sorting many categories inside a single box. The clear body helps you spot the contents before opening it, which is useful when organizing gear for a fishing trip or finding a small item in a bag.

When you close it, engage all three cam-action latches so the lid presses against the Dri-Loc O-ring seal. The waterproof design is intended to help protect stored items from water, customer feedback also highlights the seal when discussing use around rain, spray, and saltwater. As with any sealed container, make sure items are positioned inside the box before closing it securely.

Why it’s worth it

The key distinction is its sealed, enclosed storage approach. If you want small tackle or valuables kept together and covered, rather than immediately visible and accessible in an open organizer, the latching lid and O-ring seal offer a practical alternative. The transparent body still gives you a view of what’s inside, so you can identify the box’s contents without opening it.

The manufacturer describes it as suitable for phones and other small valuables, as well as fishing equipment. Customers also appreciate the secure closure and use it for items such as lures and small accessories. Feedback on size is mixed: some find the box compact and useful, while others say it feels smaller than expected. Its listed dimensions—7.38 inches long, 4.5 inches wide, and 1.75 inches high—help you judge how it will fit with your gear.
