Overview

The SF fly box is a slim, magnetic six-compartment case built from ABS plastic for storing small flies, tying beads and hooks. At 3.43 x 5 x 0.59 inches it is sized to slide into a shirt pocket or chest pack rather than a full tackle box.

This is a box for small patterns rather than a general fly box. It is not built for bulkier hackled dry flies or larger streamers.

  • Six magnetic compartments in a 3.43 x 5 x 0.59 inch case
  • ABS plastic construction with high-density foam insert
  • Snap-tight lid for secure closure
  • Slim profile designed for pocket or chest-pack carry

Who it's for

Fits anglers who fish small nymphs, midges, or dry flies and want a slim box for a shirt pocket or chest pack. Anglers who mainly fish larger flies or hackled dries need a foam-insert box instead.
