Know before you buy
The Daypack Fly Box-2X is designed to hold up to 360 flies. It utilizes double-sided storage with bi-directional slits to maximize capacity without adding unnecessary bulk.
Yes, Tacky’s patented silicone anchoring technology is designed to grip fly hooks firmly. It provides a much more secure hold than traditional foam inserts, ensuring your flies stay put even when you are on the move.
The latchless magnetic closure is strong and reliable for day-to-day use. While it is secure enough to keep the box closed in your pocket or a pack, it is designed for quick, one-handed access on the water.
Absolutely. The box is constructed from recycled polycarbonate and is engineered to withstand a wide range of temperatures without warping or becoming brittle, making it a reliable choice for year-round fishing.
The Daypack Fly Box-2X is not waterproof. It is designed for quick access and breathability, so it is best suited for keeping your flies organized in your pocket or vest rather than for submersion.
