Know before you buy
The magnet is strong enough to secure small hooks and split shot, but it is not powerful enough to damage standard electronics like phones or cameras if kept at a reasonable distance. However, it is best to keep it away from sensitive magnetic media like credit cards or older compasses.
Yes, the interlocking channel system is designed to stack multiple units. You can connect as many as you need to build a custom organization system for your vest or pack.
The lid fits snugly, and the magnetic base adds an extra layer of security by holding metal items in place. While it is very secure for standard use, it is a friction-fit lid rather than a locking latch, so it is best kept in a pocket or compartment rather than loose at the bottom of a large bag.
This puck is ideal for smaller flies, such as midges, nymphs, and dry flies up to a size 12 or 14. Larger streamers or bulky terrestrial patterns may prevent the lid from closing properly.
The material itself is durable and water-resistant, but the puck is not airtight or waterproof. If you drop it in the water, moisture will likely get inside, so it is best used for organizing terminal tackle rather than keeping items completely dry.
