Overview
The fishpond Tacky Original 2X is a double-sided fly box that swaps foam for silicone slits, holding up to 336 flies behind a magnetic, latch-free lid.
This is one box built to replace two or three smaller fly boxes for anglers who fill their vest with wet and dry patterns. The trade-off with compact fly boxes is usually crushed hackle or a fumbled latch, and the silicone slit system here is fishpond's answer to that, gripping hooks without threading them through foam. It leans toward anglers who prefer one dependable box over several small ones.
- Capacity: up to 336 flies
- Silicone anchor slit technology
- Latch free magnetic lid closure
- Recycled polycarbonate shell
Who it's for
This suits fly anglers who want a single box to carry a large, organized fly selection instead of juggling several smaller ones. It is not aimed at spin or bait anglers who do not need fly-specific storage.
Pros and cons
- Holds up to 336 flies in one box
- Magnetic closure needs no latch
- Double sided layout separates fly types
- Durable polycarbonate resists warping and extreme temperatures
- Organization relies only on silicone slits, no dividers
Performance notes
Flies press into silicone slit strips that grip the hook shank rather than requiring threading through foam, and the lid stays shut on a magnetic closure instead of a mechanical latch. The recycled polycarbonate shell is built to resist warping across extreme temperatures.
