The Signature Series
Our Top of the Line Tackle Box
Designed in Collaboration with Rob
Sanford
Rob's extensive knowledge of what sportfishermen need and
want is full incorporated into these functional and beautiful long
range tackle boxes.
For twenty years Rob has had an idea in his mind about the
ultimate long range tackle box. He approached Sue with ideas
and concepts and worked extensively with her for months to
develop the box you see here. Sue's masterful woodworking
skills and Rob's expertise in sportfishing have combined to
create the ULTIMATE LONG RANGE TACKLE BOX!

Each tackle box is carefully designed and created with the intent of
the final product being an utterly stunning work of art. The first step is selection of
the finest materials available with absolutely no compromise on quality. Woods from
all over the world are carefully selected by Sue. Years developing relationships with
exotic wood vendors ensures Sue has first access to woods generally unavailable to the
general public. Sue's innate ability of creating form to follow function and a
relationship with Rob Sanford, a top sportfisherman to assist in design and function
results in unique application of masterful skill and knowledge to meet the needs of the
world class angler. These heirloom quality tackle boxes simply cannot be produced in
mass quantities. This makes their intrinsic and pecuniary value very high.
Don't let their beauty fool you. These boxes are rugged and meant to be
used. Penetrating epoxy covers all wood surfaces prior to application of numerous
coats of marine grade durable varnish. All hardware, hinges and screws are stainless
steel including stylish and strong Sugatsune draw latches. Stainless steel rod holders
are custom made to Sue's specifications and lined for protection of your valuable
equipment.
Through and half blind dovetails, and a variety of other joints are all used with the
intent to enhance and showcase the quality of craftsmanship that goes into each box.
Principles of proper woodworking and consideration for wood movement are taken
into account to ensure years of use in a marine environment.
