Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp and coarse anglers who fish light and mobile. It keeps the key terminal bits together without taking over your carryall or rucksack.
- Anglers who like pre-sorted rig and terminal tackle. The multiple sections make it easier to separate hooks, swivels, beads, stops and similar small items.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers carrying bulky or high-volume terminal tackle. The slim 4cm depth and small compartments are aimed at essentials, not a whole tackle-room loadout.
- Anyone wanting a fully loaded kit straight out of the packet. This is an empty storage box, so you’ll need to add and organise your own tackle.

Quick verdict
A cracking little box for keeping the fiddly bits under control
The NGT XPR Tackle Box System is a compact, sensible bit of tackle storage. Its 27 magnetic sections give you loads of little homes for hooks, swivels, beads, stops and other terminal bits, while the built-in 20cm ruler is a dead handy extra for tying and checking rigs.
It won’t replace a big carryall organiser if you lug half the tackle shop to the lake. But for keeping your everyday essentials tidy, portable and easy to grab, it looks bob on — especially when space is tight.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the NGT XPR Tackle Box System
There’s nothing glamorous about terminal-tackle storage. Nobody gets the kettle on and starts chatting about a box of swivels. But when you’re on the bank and need a size 6 hook, a couple of rig stops or a fresh swivel, tidy storage suddenly matters a lot. That’s where the NGT XPR Tackle Box System comes in.
This is a compact plastic box built for the fiddly bits. It measures 24 × 13 × 4cm when closed, so it’s slim enough to disappear into a carryall, rucksack or smaller tackle bag. It won’t have you lugging a massive organiser down the towpath when you’re only after a few hours in the margins.
Inside, the box is split into 27 magnetic sections. That’s the useful bit. Rather than tipping a pouch upside down and watching hooks, beads and swivels scatter across your unhooking mat, you can give each type of tackle its own little home. Less rummaging. Less swearing. More time with the rods ready to go.
Those compartments should work nicely for the everyday carp and coarse bits most of us reach for during a session. Hooks, quick-change swivels, rig rings, beads, stops and other small accessories can all be separated out. You can set it up around your favourite rigs, or simply organise it by tackle type so everything’s easy to spot.
The magnetic closures are another tidy touch. There aren’t bulky clips sticking out or fiddly catches to pinch your fingers. Open the box, grab what you need, then close it back up. That’s particularly handy when the weather’s doing its usual British thing and you’re trying to change a rig with cold hands or a bit of drizzle blowing in.
There’s also a 20cm measure built into the front. It’s intended for making fishing rigs, and it’s a genuinely useful addition rather than a daft bit of decoration. You can check a hooklink length, line up a hair or get a quick measurement while tying up on the bank. It won’t replace a dedicated rig board for every job, but it can save a bit of faff.
The box is made from sturdy plastic, which is what you want here. Terminal tackle storage gets chucked into bags, slid under bedchairs and knocked about in the back of the car. A robust plastic shell should cope with normal tackle-bag abuse, while the slim shape keeps the whole thing from becoming a weighty lump.
There are limits, naturally. The XPR is a compact organiser, not a giant storage warehouse. The 4cm depth means it’s aimed at small terminal tackle rather than large feeders, bulky tools or packets of assorted odds and ends. If you like carrying every possible hook pattern and rig component, you may fill it faster than you’d expect.
It also arrives empty, so don’t expect a ready-made rig kit. That’s actually useful if you already know what you use, as you can build the layout around your own fishing. But if you want to open a box and be fully sorted for the weekend, you’ll need to buy the contents separately.
Overall, the NGT XPR Tackle Box System looks like a proper practical bit of kit. It’s compact, easy to organise and has a cheeky built-in ruler that could earn its keep. For short sessions, stalking, commercials and anyone fed up with terminal tackle turning into a tangled little apocalypse, it’s a very sensible option.

Our take
Why this little box earns its place
The big selling point isn’t fancy tech. It’s less faff. When your hooks, swivels and rig bits are all rattling around in one pouch, finding the right piece can turn a quick rebait into a proper rummage. The XPR gives those small items their own compartments, so you can see what you’ve got and get back fishing.
The magnetic closures keep the box together without adding bulky clips, and the 24 × 13 × 4cm closed size should slip neatly into a carryall, rucksack or side pocket. That makes it a useful grab-and-go option for short sessions, stalking and margin fishing, where carrying a full tackle box feels a bit much.
A closer look
Small footprint, plenty of little homes
The XPR is built around a slim 24 × 13 × 4cm format. That makes it much more of a day-to-day terminal box than a full tackle workstation. It’s designed to carry the bits you actually use, without eating half the room in your bag.
Its 27 magnetic sections let you separate small items properly. Set one area aside for hooks, another for swivels, then keep beads, stops and rig rings where you can see them. A bit of sorting at home should mean far less faff when a bite-time change is needed.
The front-mounted 20cm ruler is useful for checking hooklinks and making rigs. It gives you a quick reference without reaching for a separate measure or trying to judge a length against your arm.
Worth knowing. The box is supplied empty. Allow a little time to decide how you want to arrange your own terminal tackle, and don’t try cramming bulky accessories into those compact sections.
Who it suits
Best for tidy, mobile fishing
This should appeal to carp and coarse anglers who like travelling light. Stalking, margin work, short evening sessions and commercials all suit a compact box that can be grabbed quickly when a rig needs changing.
It’s also a good shout if your current terminal-tackle system is a few loose packets and a pouch full of mystery bits. You can create a simple layout that matches your fishing, then top up the sections as items run low.
It’s less convincing for anglers who carry lots of bulky tackle or want one huge organiser for every possible situation. The XPR is about essentials and order, not maximum capacity.
Worth knowing. Organise it around the rigs you fish most. Keeping the hook, swivel, bead and stop combinations close together can make a quick bank-side change properly speedy.
FAQs in full
The bits you’ll want to know
What is the NGT XPR Tackle Box System for? It’s for storing terminal tackle and small fishing accessories in separate compartments. Think hooks, swivels, beads, stops and similar rig components.
How does the ruler help? The 20cm ruler on the front gives you a quick guide when tying rigs, checking hooklink lengths or setting up a hair. It’s a handy bank-side reference built into the box.
Is it a complete tackle kit? No. The XPR is storage only. You get the box, its magnetic closures, the 27 sections and the ruler, but you’ll need to add your own tackle.
Worth knowing. Keep the box for compact terminal items. Large feeders, bulky tools and chunky accessories are better stored elsewhere, leaving the XPR doing what it’s meant to do: keeping the fiddly stuff sorted.
