Know before you buy
The box is designed to hold up to 180 flies. Keep in mind that this capacity depends on the size of your flies; larger streamers will take up more space than smaller dry flies or nymphs.
Yes, the latchless magnetic closure is quite strong and designed to keep the box securely shut during normal use. While it is very convenient for quick access on the water, it is not intended to be waterproof or submersible.
The patented silicone anchoring technology is specifically engineered for durability. Unlike traditional foam inserts that tear and lose their grip after repeated use, the silicone retains its shape and holds hooks securely for years.
Absolutely. The box is constructed from recycled polycarbonate and is tested to withstand extreme temperature ranges, so it won't become brittle or crack in freezing weather.
The high-visibility lid allows you to quickly scan your fly selection without opening the box. This is particularly helpful when you are on the water and want to identify the right pattern at a glance.
