Wait a minute. I thought the name came from the tackle boxes???

I have one of those, it's holding a LEGO Mindstorms NXT kit.

It's still a more dignified name origin history than my city's. The city of Plano, Texas, got it's name over a hundred years ago when the new settlement held a contest to pick the name. The winner, a teenage boy, submitted "Plano" because he thought it was Spanish for "plain." He just lucked out that he stumbled on the Spanish for "flat," which was close enough that they kept it.

I always thought it was Plan 0.

You're welcome Main Streeter. Sometimes the search is as much fun as the info.
