So I am looking to buy 8 or 10 boxes for my various baits so I can take advantage of the tackle organizers in my center storage compartment on my 210 Elite Champion. Looking at Academy.com and what the heck is the difference in all of the different model numbers such as 3640,3671, 3700, 3750, 3620, etc....

I have bought a few bags in the past and they already had the boxes in them so never really paid attention to the different numbers til now.

Different number off compartments the 3700 series are larger than 3600 series

Ahhh so say a 3640 is the 3600 series with 40 compartments? If that is the case then how do you know how many are in the 3700?

thanks fish

So right there's where this train went off the tracks... You're applying logic to something that's not logical!

The 3700, 3600 and 3500 series identify an overall form factor that matches tackle bag size and you will see THAT consistency across multiple manufacturers. Initially, some of them probably did make logical sense on the last 2 digits but then a new one didn't fit the logic or conflicted with something else. Think about it, say two "3740"s (by logic: a 3700 family - 40 compartment box) but with different layouts or different depths. End result: last two digits just became a model number.

Bottom line is that some of them WILL make sense. Most won't. I end up just looking them up.

gotcha BarryH. Pretty sure I understand now. Just ordered 8 3700s. THanks

Put everything in plastic bags.

Like Ziplocs?

what for?
