Small Double Sided Clear Lid Waterproof Fly Box - Slit Foam 5" x 4" x 1.65" Great product for the price Time will tell but nice latch and water proofing. I like the see through lids to help see what I have in the box without opening it. Fits my pocket great.... read more



Micro Double Sided Clear Lid Waterproof Fly Box - Slit Foam 4" x 3" x 1.3" Convenient I exclusively Tenkara fly if fly fishing. I only carry a small pouch with extra line, tippet, nippers, etc and a small fly box. I only required a few different types of flies. It is very convenient to quickly see which side of the box has the fly I want and I much prefer the slits in the foam for s... read more

Extra Large Waterproof Fly Box - Slit Foam 7.7" x 4.3" x 1.65" Quality box at a great price. The boxes are indeed large. If you're look for a super-thin box, this one probably isn't for you. But it fits perfectly into my Simms bag, and it definitely holds a lot of flies, which is what I need. Mine is holding flies from size 12 up to 24, and doing it well. I'm sure I'll be buying more! The q... read more



Extra Large Waterproof Fly Box - Easy Grip Foam 7.7" x 4.3" x 1.65" Very good value for money Good well constructed flybox, offering excellent value for money compared to more expensive brand names. I also bought the leaf insert. The deeper part of the box protects dry flies, leaving lots of room for nymphs. This box would more than carry everything you would need for a weekends fishing. ... read more
