COLUMBIA, S.C. – Plano, the industry leader in tackle storage solutions, unveils the next evolution of its renowned StowAway utility box series. Engineered for anglers, by anglers, the updated Plano StowAway provides best-in-class organization, durability, and accessibility. Building on Plano’s trusted utility box design, the new Plano StowAway incorporates a host of new features that address the evolving needs of anglers at a price point that makes premium tackle storage more accessible than ever.

The new Plano StowAway incorporates the best features of its current StowAway series along with a variety of advancements to meet the evolving needs of anglers. To keep anglers more organized on the water, Plano has incorporated pre-cut, rigid dividers for easy box setup that prevents tackle migration between compartments, as well as extra divider slots to efficiently organize tackle. The new StowAway also includes a single-latch closure for one-handed access with a built-in labeling area to easily identify tackle. Plano has also incorporated its Rustrictor technology that flows throughout the box to help prevent rust and corrosion from damaging expensive tackle.
