About MTM Tackle Boxes

I started this company, well, because of The Box! I grew up on the coast of the Carolinas, and while tackle in the 60's wasn't that elaborate, it has certainly evolved to be just that. With that, old and new skills evolved and people are putting their visions to paper and design, I happen to love working with wood, in my mind, when I see something, I visualize how I could make it better, or improve the things people are doing to their item, because it's not totally working for their wants and needs.

I've spent the last 37 years, loving to fish the Local, and Long Range waters of the west coast. I couldn't afford the tackle most of the Long Range guys had, but did notice these guys would show up with 6-12 different rod combination setups, each mostly custom built hand tied rods and matching reels, investing thousands, and they had these cheap plastic tackle boxes, Not their fault! Their really wasn't an alternative for them. They screwed whatever wood scraps they could find in the garage to the bottoms to get them up off the deck, and screwed the cheapest aluminum tubing to the sides so they could have the appropriate setup for that day's fishing. Here's a beautiful $1000 setup sitting in .50 cent aluminum tubes, screwed to the side of a plastic box. Just didn't do justice to the time and expense that fisherman spent to get it, his way! 

My thoughts, build the ultimate wood tackle box, that, well okay, it's pretty, but very adaptable to us fisherman's every day changes in what we're gonna target that day. No matter what coast, or boat, or no boat kind of fisherman you are, I wanted a box that would work for everyone, and, well because I can't seem to build anything without wanting it to be perfect and unique, this is the result.
