I have tested... / Scratch Tackle's belt lure box, a clever novelty

Luggage and lure storage is always a subject of reflection. This year, a new scratch Tackle product arrived on the market that I had the chance to test and that is particularly practical and well thought out.

Getting organized for better fishing

Let's face it, an inaccessible or untidy lure box can greatly inhibit our desire to change our lures and, therefore, adapt to the situation at hand. The result is a significant drop in hits, simply because of a lack of organization. Here's a clever belt for hard lure anglers, especially those who like to practice wading: the Scratch Tackle belt!

La ceinture est compartimentée pour ranger chaque leurre dur indivudellement.
The belt is compartmentalized to store each hard lure individually.

A comfortable and accessible position

The first strong point of this belt, and not the least, is that it is comfortable to use, but especially that it allows direct and easy access to its lures. Indeed, unlike a backpack or a bag from which you take out a box without really knowing where to put it at the risk of dropping it, the Scratch Tackle belt leaves you free with both hands.

La ceinture Scratch Tackle peut être portée confortablement soit en bandoulière soit à la taille.
The Scratch Tackle belt can be worn comfortably either as a shoulder strap or around the waist.

Individual storage for each lure

The second advantage of this belt is its compartmentalized interior space, which allows each hard lure to slide into an individual space. This way, they are all easily accessible and the treble hooks don't get tangled up with each other. Each lure has its place and each place its lure!

L'ouverture en deux parties et face au pêcheur permet de conserver les deux mains libres pour  manipuler ses leurres en toute sécurité.
The two-part opening facing the angler allows you to keep both hands free to handle your lures in complete safety.

A place for small accessories

Because we also need small accessories such as staples or lead heads, the cover of the Scratch Tackle belt is equipped with compartments to store them by size or shape. The key point is that these compartments are located on the inside and are therefore easily accessible when facing you. Moreover, this inner cover is designed in a transparent plastic allowing you to make your choice without having to open the whole.

Le fond est percé, ce qui permet un rinçage de l'ensemble des leurres sans avoir à les sortir puis les ranger un à un.
The bottom is pierced, which allows rinsing of all the lures without having to take them out and put them away one by one.

Clever holes to rinse your lures

When practicing in wading or even in the rain, the fabric luggage can quickly get wet. Not only is the drying time long and requires emptying it, but there is a significant risk that the zippers will rust and seize.

Moreover, when you want to rinse your lures at the end of your fishing trip, an essential step for bass fishermen for example, you don't have to go out and open all your boxes; you just have to open your Scratch Tackle belt and rinse everything with water. The bottom is equipped with drainage holes, so the water will not stagnate and this step will only take a few seconds.

Sur la partie latéral, un espace de rangement pour une pince est prévu. Vous pouvez réaliser un petit trou dans le plastique pour y fixer une dragonne.
On the side, there is a space for a clip. You can make a small hole in the plastic to attach a strap.

A place for his clip

Finally, the Scratch Tackle belt is equipped with a side storage compartment to hold a pair of pliers or scissors. The only complaint is that it lacks a velcro strap to close this compartment or an eyelet to attach the strap. So, I recommend you to make a small hole in the plastic of the belt to be able to fix the strap of your pliers and not to take any risk of loss.

The only one on the market

To date, if this belt is not the only one of its category on the international market, it is on the other hand the only one available in the French stores. At a retail price of 34.95 euros!
