By cberry2 from South Eastern, CT on 07/11/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy To Transport Best Uses: Fly Fishing, Ocean Fishing, River Fishing Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These can be dificult to open at times when your hands are cold or wet.
That said, you could probably drive a car over these fly boxes and not have tham break.
Scientific Anglers System X Standard Fly By Poncho from San Luis Obispo, CA on 06/29/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy To Transport, Transparent Cons: Easier to open in time Best Uses: Fly Fishing, River Fishing Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: very handy and visible way to handle smaller flies; it would not be handy for large streamers
Good fly box, but not fully waterproof. By doctorit from Amherst, MA on 06/24/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy to open, Quality materials Describe Yourself: Casual Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great flybox but the seal is definitely not watertight - living low in my vest a high river day, just sitting in the water (not submerged), it leaked and I had to blowdry all my flies that night. On the other hand, I didn't buy it for watertightness - it does indeed float, spacing for flies is great, the hinge/opening, and case materials are all solid.
Fly Box Difficult to Open By dgoJMR from Durango, CO on 06/23/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy To Transport Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The fly box is well constructed and would be useful, except for one fault. The lids are VERY difficult to open. I can only wonder what it would be like if I was standing in the middle of a river trying to change a fly. The locking mechanism was so hard to use that I ultimately returned my Scientific Anglers fly boxes back to Sierra Trading Post.
Second one in my tackle line By Moosaki from WV Eastern Panhandle on 06/22/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy To Transport, Water proof Best Uses: Fly Fishing, River Fishing, Small Fish Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is my second Scientific Anglers Box. They are clear, have good rubber seals, inserts that easily accept the flys. Because they are two sided, they hold a large number of flys in a small space. I added some small attaching clips to connect them to D-Rings on my vest, waders or pack. They float, are durably built and compact. These are going to Yellowstone in September 2009.
By John from Tampa, FL on 06/22/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy To Transport Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Thsi flybox is waterproof - holds a ton of flies - floats - you can see what is in each box, both sides. Latch is very secure. Just a great box
By Huck from Watauga on 06/06/2009 Pros: Durable, Easy To Transport Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great fly box. I do recommend slitting the foam to hold your flies.
