This is what I use and they only cost me 19.95 each. Behind the pouch with the spool of line there are a lot more pouches. John

Bassman, that's the one I showed above without the dividers in.
Gemrod, I'm a Okuma Helios fly reel fan and the reels come with those pouches.
Edit.....Bassman...I just looked more closely...there are some minor differences.
Yes they do look alike duck, mine is from another company and is green but they do seem to be the same one. John
Thanks Duck. Wish I could afford a Helios. I just ordered an SLV.
I'm trying to figure out why anyone would buy the (Cabelas) Standard or Large case. They hold the same number of reels. They just have an extra outside pocket or two...and for twice the price? I'd rather just get two of the Economy packs.
Fishpond is real "purdy" but since the reels get deligated to the unseen parts of my road wagon... I'd do the plain jane and use the extra bucks to pay off some bills. I won't show you mine. I trash picked it.
...and then there is the ... "support you local shop" ie... support those who support the places you like to hang out, be it at home or online. (hint hint).
John & Duck,
Thanks for sharing and really appreciate the Link to this case from Cabela's. I crawled all over the store in Wheeling this spring looking for a reel case that didn't require a second mortgage to own. Naturally, I didn't find one but with this info it's now safely included on my "wish list". Appreciate it fellows!
If you can't find the one you want at Cabela's let me know and I will PM you where I got mine. John
Joe, you might want to take John up on his offer.
As I said the one I pictured is from Cabela's a long time ago. I also have their current model and it has a few less features...but is just fine. John's model has a zippered mesh pocket in the lid and there are probably small pockets on the center divider...Cabela's current model doesn't....probably not a big deal but I just thought I'd give you a heads up.
Yes there are 8 more pockets behind the one you see on the lid. John
If you have an old 3.5 diskette storage box laying around (the big plastic one used for storing LOTS of 3.5s) you can cut the dividers out and pad it so that it will hold 4 reels...
