Thread: Fly box

  1. #1

    Default Fly box

    I am looking for a box with no dividers inside about the size of a VCR tape. Something I can carry in my back pocket. Anyone have any ideas. (VCR tape box is too big).

    Thanks,
    Tom

    What kelkay said....shoot, i must have a dozen 'toids' boxes full of who knows what all flies. Recently received some nice dry flies from an FAOL member that were shipped in a 'toids' box and had been carefully lined with some ccf. They weren't minty either !

    Cheers,

    Crappie Crazy,

    Plano makes some of it's pocket sized plastic boxes without dividers. I seldom see these in stores, but sometimes the catalogs have them. I own a few, so I know they are out there.

    If a bit smaller works for you, you can get a '3pack' of waterproof (they have a gasket) plastic boxes at Sports Authority. One is dividerless. These will fit easily in a shirt pocket.

    Also look at the strorage boxes they sell at craft stores. Sometimes they have things in that size range.

    Good Luck!

    Buddy

    If you don't want the foam on either side you can easily remove it.

    Or:

    With the Cabela's Nubby Tack boxes you can easily remove the Nubby Tack.

    Michaels has 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch clear plastic boxes for $1.99. I bought some and made some great C&F style boxes per normans instructions. If you have a store near you, give them a look!

    I use a lot of empty electrical tape cases. 3.5 inches around by .75 inches deep. Ask any electrician or maintenance person to save you a few. I can fit one in a shirt pocket with a spool of tippet and some floatant. That leaves the other pocket open for a camera.
