On the box

What's on the box

The numbers on the photo above.

1

VS-7090N

The base: a 440 × 293 × 293mm Run & Gun box with the lift-up inner tray and multi-purpose holder slots moulded into the ends.

2

BM-300 Light rod stand

Two fitted here, one black and one red. Meiho lists it for the VS-7090N and every other box in this guide.

3

Multi-purpose holder slot

The moulded pockets on each end of the box. Every BM attachment slides into one of these.

4

Slide-lock attachment

The base that locks the stand to the box: no screws, and Meiho says the slide lock keeps it put.

Meiho's Versus tackle systems are a kit of parts. Every box, from the little VS-7055N to the 35 L Bucket Mouth 9000, carries the same multi-purpose holder slots, and every BM accessory has an attachment that slides into them with no screws. Choose the base that fits your fishing, clip on only the accessories Meiho lists for it, and fill the inside with stockers and cases that are sized for that box. This guide sets out the eight boxes, the accessories by job, four ready-made builds with live prices and a one-click cart link, and a compatibility matrix taken only from Meiho's own fit lists.

Start here

Pick your base

Eight boxes, two families. Run & Gun (VS) boxes are the carry-anywhere lure boxes; Bucket Mouths are the hard boxes you sit on. Sizes are the products' own; prices and stock are live.

The system

How the system works

Four parts that make every Meiho box a kit.

Slots

Multi-purpose holders

Moulded into the ends of every box. Attachments slide in and lock; nothing is screwed.

Clip-ons

BM attachments

Rod stands, drink holders, side pockets, trays, boards and hangers. Meiho publishes a fit list for each one.

Stack-ons

Holder-mounted parts

The BM-30 multi holder rides on the BM-300 stand and takes a drink holder, parts case, F-Grip or lure holder; the multi clip rides on the BM-30.

Drop-ins

Stockers and cases

Inner stockers hold jigs and squid jigs upright in the main compartment; the 7-inch cases stack in the lid tray.

01 · Rod holders

Rod holders

Hands free

The BM-300 Light is the standard: it slides into any holder slot, locks without screws and Meiho lists it for all eight boxes. The BM-290 Slide tilts forward so you can re-rig without lifting the rod out, and carries its own holder slots on each side. The BM-30 multi holder and multi clip ride on the stands rather than the box.

02 · Drinks and tools

Drink holders, grip and clips

Within arm's reach

The Hard Drink Holder takes a 500 ml bottle and pushes straight into a holder slot. The Oricon folds flat when you pack up and also fits the BM-30 holder and BM-120 pocket. The F-Grip holds the fish, the squid holder parks jigs, and the leader clip grips a spool while you tie.

03 · Side storage

Side pocket, trays, board, hanger and belt

More faces to use

The BM-120 side pocket is a clear-lidded box on the side of the box that carries its own holder slots for a rod stand or drink holder. The BM-L and BM-S trays park swapped lures and double as inner trays on the BM-5000 and VS-7080. The multi board holds jigheads on a magnet and lures on foam; the multi hanger hangs pliers, scissors and spare lures. For the walk in, the Hard Belt BM-200 is the 2 m shoulder strap, which Meiho lists for the 7070N, 7080N and 7090N.

04 · Inside the box

Stockers and cases

Jigs upright, cases stacked

Inner stockers stand jigs and squid jigs up in the main compartment so you can see every one: the BM-35S for squid jigs and small jigs, the BM-20S for bigger lures, the BM-12L for casting plugs and the 48-slot squid stocker. All have drain holes for a rinse. The 7-inch VS cases and egi stockers are loose cases for spares.

Ready-made builds

Four builds by fishing style

All four builds sit on Run & Gun boxes, and every part is one Meiho lists for that box. Each line is the product's first in-stock variant; the total is the sum of the lines shown, and the button adds them all to your cart at once.

The biggest Run & Gun

Boat jigging

The biggest Run & Gun

The VS-7095N with the lift-up tray, two rod stands with a multi holder between them for the fold-flat drink holder, a hanger for pliers, and two BM-12L stockers inside that hold jigs upright side by side, as Meiho sizes them.

Tackle system FAQ

Meiho tackle systems

Do I need tools to fit the accessories?

No. BM attachments slide into the multi-purpose holder slots and lock; Meiho's BM-300 video shows the slide lock. The side pocket and hanger clip on the same way.

Which boxes can I sit on?

Meiho builds the Bucket Mouth 5000, 7000 and 9000 as seats, and calls the VS-7080N the Run & Gun box you can sit on. The seat cushion is made for the Bucket Mouth lids.

Will accessories for the older VS-7070 fit the VS-7070N?

For the clip-on parts Meiho's lists name both the VS-7070 and VS-7070N. For a few inner parts Meiho names only the earlier box, and those cells are left blank in the matrix rather than guessed.

Why is a cell in the matrix blank?

Because Meiho has not stated that fit. We only tick what Meiho's fit list or the product description says. If you need a pairing that is blank, ask us and we will check it on the box.
