Fly storage tubs


Recommended Posts

I bought a bunch from McMaster-Carr in two different sizes, for rigged flies and for just the fly body. I’m a little bit OCD but I like being organized. I find the flies last a lot longer this way too!6DD94444-FC48-42E2-8B0D-CB9C36A7400C.thumb.jpeg.4778d92c0ecf12842131ca572e25f701.jpeg

I’ve used 4 ft fluorescent tube protectors cut to length with a piece of foam pipe insulation to wrap leader around to store flies.  The plastic protectors run about $3.50 at Home Depot so you get a few tubes out of each section.  Then they store in a covered plastic tub.  Pretty economical .

Few that I have are roughly 1 3/8” x 4”... found something similar at uline.com. 1.5”x6” but by time you buy the end caps it ends up being $1.25 a tube without shipping. For that price I can buy an Amish fly caddy and have a box with it too.

still seems like the best bet is a dreamweaver tube file... $25 for 34 tubes and a storage box (.73 each). Or you can buy them from that site (.69 each) once you add in caps and you have to buy 1000 at a time...

Here’s the information on the box. I think it was under cylinder sleeve protection or something like that, I’d have to look in the catalog.B033BA1E-8339-48D0-A97C-53325A0C626F.thumb.jpeg.15a40bdb32ad5304a8ebb591958d0860.jpegEF8DCA37-1F77-416A-BD61-FCF010B9466D.thumb.jpeg.4b00b637f03ee355ce2cbf8528157876.jpeg
