fishinguy 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2019 I've used some old boxes drill bits and such come in. Take out or cut out with a Dremel any thing inside. Glue in slit foam. Done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjm 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2019 Altoids box plus foam or magnetic sheets hold a gob of flies and fit any shirt pocket, I used to use pipe tobacco tins that were the same size as the mint candy tins. The only production boxes I've ever liked were/are the Perrine boxes, in several styles, they are still my main boxes; but when tying a bunch, the new stuff goes into the small homemade boxes first and then moved to the Perrine boxes as needed.

heavynets 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2019 Here are some I 3-D printed. The pieces that hold the flys and streamers are printed separately from flexible material and glued in place where needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
