Fox Rage Compact Rig Storage Box
Small NBX016 / Medium NBX017 / Large NBX018
Slotted foam, adjustable compartments and a properly slim shape make this a handy home for jigheads, hooks and small tackle. Just don’t mistake it for a deep lure box.
- Three sizes: Small NBX016, Medium NBX017 and Large NBX018.
- Removable, slotted foam panels for jighead and hook storage.
- Removable internal dividers and shallow trays for other small tackle.
- Slim smoked-plastic design with a full-width locking closure.
Make sure it’s the right one. The Compact Rig Storage Box sits within Fox Rage’s Compact Storage Boxes range. This review covers the three sizes, rather than one particular box.

Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Mobile perch and light predator anglers. A slim box suits a focused selection of jigheads, hooks and small tackle for moving between swims.
- Anglers who like separate working boxes. The adjustable layout lets you organise a session’s essentials rather than take your entire tackle collection.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers carrying bulky lures. The shallow shape is aimed at smaller tackle, so deeper storage makes more sense for chunky items.
- Carp anglers wanting a dedicated long-hooklink rig board. Slotted hook and jighead storage isn’t the same thing as a purpose-built system for holding finished hooklinks straight.

Quick verdict
A tidy answer to small-tackle chaos
The Fox Rage Compact Rig Storage Box makes plenty of sense if loose jigheads and hooks are turning your tackle bag into a lucky dip. Slotted foam and removable dividers give you useful ways to organise a working selection without lugging a deep box around.
The catch is the shallow shape. It’s best treated as a dedicated small-tackle organiser, not a home for every lure you own. Choose your size around the kit you actually carry and it’s a crackingly straightforward idea.

The tight construction and full-width locking closure are sensible features for keeping small tackle contained.
Slotted foam and adjustable compartments suit the intended small-tackle job, with shallow clearance the main limitation.
Better organisation can ease tackle changes, but the box itself doesn’t improve your presentation or locate fish.
Removable foam and dividers make it straightforward to build a layout around your regular tackle.
The adaptable layout offers useful everyday utility, though the buying price and whether it replaces existing storage decide the real value.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Rage Compact Rig Storage Box
A loose jighead is a tiny thing until you need the right one. Then it’s somehow underneath everything else, tangled with a hook you didn’t know you owned. The Fox Rage Compact Rig Storage Box is aimed squarely at that sort of faff. It combines slotted foam for hooks and jigheads with divided storage for other small bits, all in a slim smoked-plastic box. Nothing wildly complicated here, mate. The point is to give your working tackle a sensible home, so changing things around doesn’t become a full bag-emptying exercise.
First, get past the word ‘rig’ in the name. If you’re coming from carp fishing, you might picture a long board with pins for stretching out finished hooklinks. That isn’t the main appeal here. Fox Rage’s setup centres on removable, slotted foam panels for jigheads and hooks, alongside removable internal dividers and shallow trays. Think small predator tackle and neatly separated odds and ends, rather than automatically assuming it’ll replace your usual carp rig wallet. That distinction matters much more than the name printed on the box.
The foam is the useful bit if you regularly swap between jigheads. Instead of letting them roll around together, you can organise suitable heads in slots and make the selection easier to read. A sensible layout might separate weights or hook sizes, depending on what changes most during your fishing. Working a shallow canal edge and then dropping into a deeper boat channel can call for different presentations. Having those options arranged before you leave home means less squinting and rummaging when you’d rather be concentrating on the next cast.
You’re not committed to one fixed arrangement, either. The foam panels and internal dividers are removable, which gives you room to organise around your own tackle rather than somebody else’s idea of a perfect loadout. The shallow trays provide space for other small items, while the tight construction is intended to limit their movement. That’s welcome when a box spends the morning travelling between swims in a shoulder bag. Still, organise sensibly: don’t assume every tiny swivel or clip will stay isolated in absolutely any layout you create.
There are three sizes, and the differences are worth checking against your bag before you buy. Small measures 140 × 115.2 × 25.5 mm, Medium is 221 × 144.7 × 27.5 mm, and Large comes in at 280 × 225.6 × 30 mm. You’re mainly gaining a bigger footprint as you move up, not suddenly getting a deep tackle chest. Small is the obvious starting point for a pared-back selection. Medium and Large make more sense when you want more tackle laid out across the box rather than piled into it.
That shallow shape is both the selling point and the compromise. A slim organiser is easier to work into a compact bag than another bulky box, particularly if you’re walking a stretch and carrying only what earns its place. But chunky lures and awkwardly tall tackle are a different job. Those overall measurements aren’t a promise of usable internal clearance, either. If one particular item absolutely must fit, check that fit rather than judging from the outside dimensions alone. Buying the biggest version won’t magically turn this into deep storage.
The full-width locking closure is another practical feature, while the smoked finish gives the box a subdued look. Don’t confuse either with weather protection, though. A tight-fitting box that helps restrict small-item movement isn’t automatically waterproof. On a wet day, keep it tucked away between changes rather than leaving it open beside your unhooking mat. And if damp jigheads or hooks go back inside, open things up to dry at home. Good storage habits are still needed; even a tidy box can’t look after wet metal on its own.
For a mobile perch angler, or anyone building a dedicated box of small predator tackle, this is a nicely focused option. Its appeal isn’t some grand promise about catching more fish. It’s having the right little bits together and avoiding needless disruption when you’re making adjustments. Carp and coarse anglers may find a use for it too, provided the contents suit the shallow layout. Pick the size around a realistic session’s kit, leave the bulky stuff elsewhere, and you’ve got a straightforward route to a less cluttered bag.

Our take
Think working box, not tackle warehouse
The real appeal is keeping your next few changes easy to find: lighter jigheads for the margins, heavier options for deeper water, and spare hooks without a rummage through the whole bag.
Foam and compartments tackle different jobs. Use the slots to separate suitable hooks and jigheads, then organise other small bits in the divided spaces.
Layout and sizing
Closer look: shallow storage with a flexible layout
What you’re buying is a slim organiser with two useful approaches to storage. The slotted foam panels cater for suitable hooks and jigheads; the divided spaces and shallow trays cater for other small tackle. Both the foam and internal dividers can be removed. That flexibility is the main draw, rather than simply having another empty plastic box.
Size selection is mostly about how much tackle you want spread out in front of you. The Small has the least demanding footprint, while the Large provides more room for a broader selection. Lay out your intended contents first, then check your bag’s available space. It’s a much better starting point than buying the biggest and finding jobs for it afterwards.
Worth knowing. The quoted dimensions describe the box, not guaranteed usable internal space. Allow for the body, lid and storage layout when judging whether an awkwardly shaped item will fit.
On the bank
Who it suits: anglers who travel with a plan
This makes most sense for anglers carrying a deliberate selection of small tackle. If you’re moving along a canal after perch, arrange jigheads by the change you make most often: weight, hook size or presentation. Keep your most-used choices together and the box becomes a working organiser, not just somewhere to dump leftovers.
It can also suit someone splitting tackle between several dedicated boxes. A separate hook-and-jighead box keeps those items away from a jumble of lures. The trade-off is another box to manage, so there’s little point adding one if your existing storage already does the job neatly.
For carp anglers, judge it by its actual layout rather than the ‘rig storage’ description. It may be handy for suitable hooks and small components, but don’t assume it offers the straightened-hooklink storage of a dedicated rig board. Likewise, anglers carrying big plugs or bulky tackle should look at deeper boxes.
Quick answers
FAQs in full: the bits to check before buying
Which size is which? Small is NBX016 and measures 140 × 115.2 × 25.5 mm. Medium is NBX017 at 221 × 144.7 × 27.5 mm. Large is NBX018 at 280 × 225.6 × 30 mm. Check the code when ordering, especially if a listing shows more than one size together.
Can you change the inside? Yes: the slotted foam panels and internal dividers are removable. Plan the layout around the tackle you actually want to carry, and make sure nothing stands proud enough to obstruct the lid. More tackle isn’t better if you have to force the box shut.
Will it keep water out? Don’t treat it as waterproof. The full-width locking closure secures the box, and the tight construction helps limit movement of small items, but those features aren’t a waterproof guarantee. Shelter it from rain and give damp contents a chance to dry before putting everything away.

Can you remove the foam and dividers?
Yes. Both the slotted foam panels and internal dividers are removable, so you can adapt the layout for suitable jigheads, hooks and other small tackle.
03Is it waterproof?
Is it waterproof?
Don’t buy it on that assumption. A full-width locking closure and tight construction don’t establish a waterproof seal. Keep it sheltered and let wet tackle dry before closing it away.
