The one I purchased, did not. The storage boxes I had to purchase separately for approximatley $40 (5x370's @$5.99 each, and 2X360's @ $4.99 each). It's a great tackle bag, and has a lot of room, sturdy too.

answer 5
I had the same concern, but was able to go to my local BPS and really test this bag before I purchased it. It is not a rigid frame. However, I have loaded all my tackle in this bag, and then proceeded to take out all five storage boxes from the front of the bag. Depending upon what you put in the top section, the bag should not collapse. I usually only take out one or two boxes at a time; so, I don't have any worrys about it collapsing. It's a sturdy tackle bag.

Question

Does the front conpartment have dividers?

Does the front compartment have horizontal dividers to hold the each 370 sepatately or do they just stack on top of each other?

If they just stack on each other then I could use a mixture of thin and thick, etc.

Thanks!

Yes, there are built in horizontal dividers, which is nice, because you can get to the bottom boxes and not have to restack when you put them back in, keeping everything organized the same way you set it up.

answer 3
Yep, there are dividers. They are pretty sturdy and will hold a box full of tackle well. It will NOT though hold a box full of lead! I keep my lead on the bottom. Take my advice and if yours doesn't come with the 370's (my BPS had a 'combo' deal when I bought mine), get the 370's with the little indentation on the bottom front side that acts like a handle. My boxes are totaly flat on all sides and it makes it a bit of a challenge getting the boxes out sometimes. Not biggie though.

answer 5
it does have dividers, they're made out of fabric with pliable plastic sheet inserts. there's a lot of flexibility in them and i think you may be able to mix between the thick and thin cases. you would not be able to get the large spinner bait cases in there though. however the top compartment is very large and you could fit a few in there.

Zipper 'teeth' are nylon. Zippers are metal. I have had it two years and it hasn't been an issue BUT I have kept it clean and oiled too. I fish saltwater and fish hard all day, beating the waves on the boat and the bag as been soaked a couple times.

No. The main compartment has nylon/cloth dividers for the 370 boxes. I suppose you could cut out the dividers.

I bought this bag at my local Bass Pro that was loaded with the boxes. (Five 370's and two 360's) It saved about $15 over buying it all separately.
