On the box
The numbers on the photo above.
The base: a 440 × 293 × 293mm Run & Gun box with the lift-up inner tray and multi-purpose holder slots moulded into the ends.
Two fitted here, one black and one red. Meiho lists it for the VS-7090N and every other box in this guide.
The moulded pockets on each end of the box. Every BM attachment slides into one of these.
The base that locks the stand to the box: no screws, and Meiho says the slide lock keeps it put.

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.
Wharf, kayak, light lures
313 × 233 × 231mm
The smallest Run & Gun box. Deep main compartment with a divider, lid slots for small tackle, and the same holder slots as its big brothers. Meiho's fit lists cover the rod stands, both drink holders, the side pocket, trays and the squid stocker; the BM-20S inner stocker does not fit.
The classic run-and-gun
434 × 233 × 280mm
Long and narrow, with a handle stopper so a loaded box carries level. Meiho lists it for the rod stands, drink holders, side pocket, trays, multi board, hanger, hard belt, the 35S and 20S stockers and the squid stocker.
The Run & Gun you can sit on
375 × 293 × 275mm
Meiho calls it the sit-on Run & Gun box. Same fits as the 7070N plus the Inner Stocker BM-S, and it is the base of the Squid Pack.
Lift-up inner tray
440 × 293 × 293mm
The fourth N box, with a lift-up inner case so you reach the lower level without taking the tray out. Meiho lists the rod stands, Oricon holder, multi board, hanger, hard belt, squid stocker and the 35S and 20S stockers.
The biggest Run & Gun
475 × 346 × 320mm
The largest N-series box, with the lift-up system. Meiho lists the BM-300 stand and BM-30 holder, Oricon holder, multi board and hanger, and two BM-12L stockers side by side.
Smallest seat box
440 x 293 x 293mm
The compact Bucket Mouth: a seat, a sliding inner tray, and Meiho's full attachment list. The Tray BM-L and Tray BM-S double as its inner trays; the 20S, 35S and squid stockers drop in.
Boat all-rounder
475 x 335 x 320mm
28 L, a lid that stops at 90° on a crowded deck, and the box in the photo. Takes every BM attachment, two BM-12L stockers or the Inner Stocker BM-L.
Seat, step and 35 L
540 x 340 x 350mm
The big one: strong enough to stand on, a lid that opens from either side, a one-touch buckle and a sliding inner tray. Same fits as the 7000.

The system
Four parts that make every Meiho box a kit.
Moulded into the ends of every box. Attachments slide in and lock; nothing is screwed.
Rod stands, drink holders, side pockets, trays, boards and hangers. Meiho publishes a fit list for each one.
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.
Inner stockers hold jigs and squid jigs upright in the main compartment; the 7-inch cases stack in the lid tray.
01 · Rod holders
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
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
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
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
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.
Wharf softbaiting
A long, narrow VS-7070N with one rod stand, a fold-flat drink holder, a magnetic board for jigheads and a hanger for pliers. Light enough to carry a wharf in one hand.

Boxes and the BM-300 come in two colours; each build names the colour shown and the cart link adds that one. Swap it in the cart if you prefer the other.

✓ stated to fit · ✕ stated not to fit · blank = not stated by Meiho. 'via BM-300' and 'via BM-30' mount on that part, not on the box. The VS-7080N Squid Pack is a VS-7080N. Where Meiho names only the earlier VS-7070 or VS-7055, the N cells are left blank.
From Meiho
Walkthroughs from Meiho's official channel.
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.
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.
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.
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.
