Hey folks, does anyone have any experience with their boxes? Namely the day's worth and super day's worth. Seem like a good idea to slim down. Saw the super day's worth the other day at the store and really liked the concept! For those of you who haven't seen them here's a link to their products:

Cool boxes. I can see where they would come in handy, especially floating.
Set the hook!

It's a bit on the large size, but I'm thinking of making this maybe a backpacking box, that way I can carry cover a wide range of fishing with a couple boxes! Still love my C&Fs though.

My daughter got me the Big Cliff for my birthday. I like it a lot for a variety of reasons, but being clear and floatable is the most impotant. I use mine for my carpfishing, holds all the flies and I can get in (stuff) in a certain shirt pocket.

I've got the Bugger Beast for billfish and bluewater streamers and Beast Jr for both bluewater and inshore streamers. Nice, kinda pricey but needed them. 09er

And the best part of all is, your name is boldly printed right on the box. :) :)

Haha, no.

I have a Scientific Anglers box (1)

A few cheapo-flyshop-branded plastic/foam boxes.

A few mini-fastener boxes (like for holding nuts and bolts).

and the PRIMO-TOP-OF-THE-LINE Dewalt Fly box... formerly home to a 40 piece drill-bit set.

But you were close Arvin!

Haha, yup, I love the Dewalt box. I am more of a fan of the Altoids box myself.

I did pick up 2 C&F boxes from the clearance rack. Just couldn't resist at $25. They hold so many more flies and the foam is just so freakin' nice!

The Spot. I got a midge box. It's pretty slick. I couldn't resist the price either. Didn't even go there for one!

Maybe its just my eyes playing tricks on me, but I see a bunch of thick (plastic?) boxes in a boat. The angle the pic was taken, they look huge. So, what shirt and pants manufacturing companies, lumbar pack manufacturing companies and backpack manufacturing companies have started producing products with big enough pockets to accomodate fly boxes of this size?



The ones in the pictures do seem to be about the size of suitcases.

While the cases look big in comparison to the boat, look at the flies in the box. Maybe those are 5/0 hoppers, or maybe the picture is a play on the eyes. :) FWIW, the "Beast and Barn" boxes are too large for your vest pockets, but most of their other boxes will fit in a pocket.

I want the Super Days worth - where are they available?

NM - found on amazon.... but the reviews are hilarious.


"Really didn't expect it to be an empty box (female, non- fisherman that I am), but nothing in the add referred to it being just a box without contents. "

"The picture shows a box full of lures. Instead, you get a cheap plastic box with NOTHING in it. All in all, I am very disappointed in the seller for using a picture in such a deceptive way. While the description does say the lures do not come with the box, the picture shows a full box.

This is really expensive for an EMPTY cheap feeling plastic box - my advice is do NOT waste the money on this. "

"The product picture is very mis-leading. It's just an empty container. It does not contain any kind of flys. "


Oh... that was just great.

That's *' hilarious. I think Wildman's signature sums up that situation.
