Overall, I like the functionality of this "crate". I liked the idea of having the top lid to quickly access small items, loose lures and a few bags of soft plastics. I really liked the idea of not having to worry about the risk of turning the kayak over and everything falling out of a crate unless I had a net or bungees over the top. This Krate solves all of that. However, it also loses the convenience of simply reaching inside the crate and pulling out what you need. It obviously doesn't allow things to stick out of the top like a regular crate, too. Those points you can figure out from the pictures, though. What I learned when I received it were the following things: 1. This Krate is very well constructed. Screws hold together the lids, hinges, etc. While everything is plastic, it seems to be heavy enough to hold up over time. We'll see how the main lid hinge fairs over time - it will take the most punishment as it stops the lid from opening past vertical. 2. The clear lid on top is going to get some scratches in it. I think it is inevitable. 3. The rod holders...they function perfectly fine and attach solidly. I didn't need to use the included risers the way I mounted the Krate in my kayak. One thing to note, if you mount it sideways, you can only put 3 rod holders on one side, not all 4. But, if you mount it longways fire/aft, there are a few ways to mount them. You can mount 2 on each side vertically as the pictures show, or they have included bosses to screw them on to angle back towards the rear. Interestingly, the two on a given side are angled back at different angles. That's how I set mine up since it gets the rods pointed back and away from me while casting. I don't know if that will work with the risers, though. 4. Mounting...I messed with this for a while to figure out how I wanted to orient the Krate behind me. I originally wanted to put it sideways right behind my seat, but that just made it tough to reach behind and lift the lid all the way open in the opposite direction than I had turned my body around (hopefully that makes sense). I ultimately mounted it fore/aft to take advantage of the angled rod holders and make it easier to just turn back and open/close it. I have long arms so I can still push the lid back and get it all the way up and open, but that is a consideration when deciding to mount it that way. 5. Capacity in the main body of the Krate...it certainly holds a lot, but when you start filling it with 3700 waterproof Plano boxes it fills quickly. I attached a picture showing 4 3700 waterproof boxes and a regular 3700 box inside. There is for sure room for another slim 3700 box or, maybe, another regular 3700 box. Once they are all loaded in there, not much room is left except maybe an inch on one end. Also, I confirmed that another waterproof 3700 would NOT fit flat on top without smashing the Krate lid down and stressing the hinge. I forgot to measure the interior dimensions but will try to add them later. 6. Unlike the BlackPak or a regular crate, it's going to be very tough to attach items to the outside. I'm guessing you could drill through the sides for screws/washers/nuts, but it's not made for that like a BlackPak. 7. The rubber latches are just tight enough to always keep the lids latched, but aren't so difficult that you can't easily pull them with one hand and get them open. They work well. 8. The 2 included "divider" nets hang from a rod that inserts into slots along the top of the main compartment. They hang down about halfway into the compartment. They are a heavy rubberized netting material with 4 pockets in each one. I'm not sure if I'll ever use them or not. Once you start filling the compartment with 3700 Plano boxes there isn't much room left for them. Interestingly, there are the same slots molded into the front and rear that would make you think they might eventually make long dividers/nets to span the length of the Krate which might be more useful as they could hang down between 3700 boxes. However, the same might work for the provided nets if you fit 3500/3600 boxes in the main compartment sideways. I just haven't tried to see how they fit, yet. In the end, this is a keeper but there are pros and cons just like with anything. I hope I won't miss the ability to mount things on the outside. I do appreciate the overall quality of this Krate and would recommend it as long as you understand the benefits and limitations as noted above.

It's an okay crate, but I really think they should have field tested this better, or longer. After using it for a while I'm finding lots of little flaws that could've been corrected before release. * The inside isn't water tight. * I'm afraid the lid will eventually detach because off strong wind or other. It needs a lanyard or better hinge. * Once the see-through lid gets salt spray on it it's about impossible to see inside. * The rod holders should be made in a way that doesn't require additional adapters so that your rods will seat properly. * The 2 basket hangers that come with it won't stay in position. I ended up removing mine entirely.

So I've used the krate a couple of times since owning it. It works and does everything except two things. I take 6 rods with out all the time spinning reels to be exact. There is no was unless modified, to mount 6 evenly spaced rod holders unless you remove the middle tie down and drill a hole to bolt it to the krate. My other complaint is the spacing, for 3 spinning rods on each side it's a bit cramped but manageable. Obviously if you just use the 4 included holders there's lots of room. Other than those two things I like it a lot. It would be nice to maybe see some type of gasket on the inner lid where your boxes go maybe something similar to a yeti or another roto molded cooler to keep water out completely and maybe something similar to the top clear lid also.
