    I use only barbless hooks and this is the only thing I've found that will hold them
    Me too Jack. It's a little heavy for a shirt, but it's great attached to a pack. Holds a crap load of flies & super easy access.

    Jack & Mike,

    I like that idea, but, I have a concern that may not be a problem. If a person has a pacemaker, will the magnet be a problem? I am not familiar with pacemakers, but, seem to remember somewhere that a person with a pacemaker installed needs to be careful around any equipment that has a magnet.

    Like I said, this may not be a concern, but, one can never be too careful. Just a thought.......

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

    I also have the magnetic patch. Works great for me too.

    If you use any of the small 'earth magnets' the flies will be anchored to the box. Those little magnets are so strong you will have a tough time separating the flies from the magnets.

    Glad I asked, all the replies for the "tight lines" magnet reminded me that I had one, and it's just what I need.

    I made my own out of some really strong rare earth magnets. I used some small neodymium disks glued inside of a small container.
    I got tired of loosing flies, so this was the answer. It holds them well. I use some tweezers or forceps to get them out of the container.
    Be sure to grab them by the hook and not feathers.

    Jack, the next time I go, I will try to remember to break a small limb off one of the trees at waters' edge and mail it to you. They seem to hold everything.
