What with budget rod threads, budget reels, combos, etc, I have to ask...who uses budget fly boxes? Mostly I'm looking for good ideas, because an inexpensive fly box is harder to find than an uncrowded stream on opening day.

Now there are some really slick fly boxes out there, and I can see why they cost what they do from the construction of them. What baffles me is why even the cheapest, cheesiest flybox costs $10-$15? I have an assortment of boxes collected, none of them really expensive at all, and my only real criteria in choosing a box is that it hold the flys securely without buggering them up, and have a clear top so I can find stuff quickly.

Or is there a benefit to a $30-$50 fly box that I just haven't been sharp enough to figure out yet?
