I happen to have a 19qt Engle Dry Box cooler. It may work ok for a tackle box but get the largest one, the 19qt is not very big and there is no interior tray or organization. It's not made near as well as a rotomolded Engel cooler nor Yeti Go-Box.

The Engel 30qt dry box is $85. I would rather have my $40 Husky and since I can get a Yeti Go-Box for $200 which is much better built, I can't see a situation where I would buy the Engel Dry Box for a tackle box.

Por Favor pic/link for the $40 husky?
I'm at work so can't take pics of mine in my garage right now, but here it is on Home Depot. Take a box cutter and cut out every other cordura divider and you have perfect spacing for storing Plano Edge 3700 Thin boxes. The dividers keep them standing up as opposed to sliding down and keep them from rubbing each other. It seems a little trivial describing it, but it's just easier to access them.

Has taken a wave and while the outside was wet, water never got thru to the inside. The molded soft top is great for things like leader, fish grips, etc when you're out on a flat and don't want to dig thru anything. Has a plier pocket on the outside and net pockets for things like pro cure or gulp that you don't want inside. Best of all, the zipper is a good zipper and since the box is rigid, you're not fighting flappy walls or top to get access to anything.

Also doesn't skid around on the deck. The only downfall is it's you can't step or stand on it.
