Collapsed Tackle Box- Question

[Tejaye]

I was curious about the Collapsed Tackle Box. You pay 500pp for it, it summons a Collapsible Tackle Box which is No Drop. After you summon this Box.....what use does the original Collapsed Tackle Box have? Is it now worthless? I just summoned the Collapsible Tackle Box I need.....so what use is the original item I bought?
I could understand if the summoned item is No Rent.....but that is not the case.
I am new to fishing and was curious about this because it doesn't seem to make sense.

If you need that main slot, you can destroy the collapsible container.

Then, when you need a Tackle Box again, click on the collapsed, and voila!

The advantage of the collapsed versions is that you don't need multiple tradeskill containers. I have a collapsed M&P, spit, and mixing bowl in a pack, seven weight reduction bags of various types, and one open main slot, which has whatever uncollapsed container I need at that point. Without the collapsibles, I'd have three slots taken up with non-WR bags with 4-6 slots.

In addition, the mixing bowl has 4 or 6 slots in it, and you can replace this with a 10 slot bag (gaining 3 or 5 slots.)

It would be nice if I didn't have to keep a primary slot free for this.

Its a convenience for people who do tradeskills on the go and\or need to keep a free inventory slot at all times.

I'm a Magician who does Baking, so I need to keep a free slot for summoning my horse or using summoned items, like the Lev rings (I rarely use summoned bags, since they're No Rent). I don't have a collapsable tacklebox atm - I keep a regular tacklebox in the bank and haul my catch back to the bank to work with it once I'm done.
But I do have a collapsable spit and mixing bowl.

You summon the collapsable container, shove the summoning device back into a bag, use the summoned container, and either destroy the summoned container once you're done with it or use it as an extra bag.

Now, if they'd only make a collapsable brew barrel...... *sigh*
