Overview
A single sided fly box built to hold up to 180 flies using fishpond's silicone anchoring system instead of foam, closed with a latchless magnetic lid and made from recycled polycarbonate.
The silicone strips replace the usual foam slits, which is the main reason anglers reach for a Tacky box, flies grip by their hook point rather than getting jammed into foam that eventually tears. Single sided storage keeps it thin enough for a shirt pocket or small day pack rather than a full boat box.
- Holds up to 180 flies
- Patented silicone anchoring system
- Latchless magnetic closure
- Recycled polycarbonate shell
Who it's for
Fits an angler who wants a slim, pocket sized box for a day's fly selection rather than a full boat box for a season's tying output. Less useful if you need double sided storage for a large fly collection in one box.
Pros and cons
- Silicone anchoring holds flies by the hook rather than foam
- Magnetic latchless closure
- Recycled polycarbonate construction
- Slim enough for a shirt pocket or small pack
- Single sided design limits total capacity compared to double sided boxes
Performance notes
The bi-directional silicone slits anchor flies by the hook point from either side of the row, a design fishpond states is patented, and the magnetic closure holds the lid shut without a latch to fumble with cold or wet hands.
