Know before you buy
The magnetic base holds your flies securely in place, which prevents them from tumbling around or getting tangled when you open the box. It is particularly helpful for quickly grabbing or placing flies without needing to carefully slot them into foam inserts.
Yes, the flexible walls are designed to create distinct boundaries between the ten compartments. They effectively prevent flies from migrating between sections, even if the box gets jostled in your vest or pack.
At 7 x 3.75 x 0.75 inches, the RiverMag is quite low-profile. It is designed specifically to slide easily into most standard fly fishing vest pockets or small sling packs without creating unnecessary bulk.
While the lid is made from durable recycled plastic, like any clear material, it can develop minor surface scratches with heavy use. However, it remains clear enough to easily identify your fly patterns without needing to open the box.
The RiverMag is best suited for smaller to medium-sized trout flies. While it can accommodate a variety of patterns, very large streamers or bulky saltwater flies may exceed the depth or compartment size constraints.
