I have several of these boxes that I use for storing hooks and glass beads. Unlike some similar boxes, items in one compartment do not migrate to adjacent compartments. These boxes work for small to midsized hooks, but the compartments are not large enough for larger hooks such as Carrie Stevens style streamer hooks or larger salt water hooks. I wish someone made a version with separate lids for each compartment to avoid massive spills when the lid is open though. I have used some for years and the flexible lid hinge has held up nicely so far.
