20 Best Fly Box For Streamers (2023 Updated)

This is a very compact fly box, approximately the size and width of a smart phone. The Tacky silicone grips flies tenaciously–even small flies stay put. Like all Tacky boxes, this box displays flies nicely with each fly in its own “docking station” and abundant space between flies.

Your flies can do yoga inside this box. The capacity, however is grossly overstated (360 flies!). Theoretically you could insert two flies facing each other in each docking station but this is only possible with very small flies– size #20 or smaller.

For nymphs in the size 14 to 18 range the capacity of this box is half of what is stated. That is certainly a reasonable number and if you want a compact box to carry a decent selection of nymphs to the stream this box can do that.

But do not expect to fill the box to the stated capacity unless you stock the box exclusively with micro patterns.

This fly box has 4 nice features: 1 The magnetic closure on this fly box is superior to the old snap closures. 2 The clear case allows for ease of fly selection. 3 The tacky surface secures flies in the box.

4 The case is thin and light which makes for easy storage in a sling or back pack. These features are make this fly box a significant improvement over it predecessors.

These boxes are the bees knees. Easy to slide a hook in the slits, easy to retrieve, and they don’t fall out on their own. Magnetic latch. Dang I think I need another.

These boxes have become my go-to as they hold a ton are durable and waterproof. The middle leaf is removable, if you need a deeper box but, there is a deep area already as the leaf is offset making a good area for streamers / wets and the other side for dries.

It’s a grab&go box that can hold all you need for a day. I just wish they came in different colours, as they can be difficult to sort-out when stacked in a boat bag. A simple label eliminates this one draw-back.

So, they’re perfect!.

I have six of these boxes with various logos on them. Two are used for storing large bass bugs and large, modern style streamers, two others for larger trout streamers, and two more that I load up with a combination of flies for day trips going after trout or bass.

They fit easily into the pockets on my vests and are quite sturdy.

Bought this to hold large trout flies. Mouse patterns, big streamers, terrestrials and foam hoppers, and segmented bodies all fit perfectly. A really good deal for around 10 bucks. Thanks

I do like how this fly box is of a size that easily fits inside the pockets of a fly fishing vest. I like the secure latching mechanism, as well as the ability to write with a permanent marker tip for each row for fly identification.

I think this product is missing a key feature. it can be slippery while you’re wading in the water trying to navigate a fly from or into the box. The last thing you want is to drop it in the water, a considerable dollar loss given your fly collection.

It needs to have a plastic tab with a ring hole on one corner of the middle rib. where you could attach an Orvis Zinger so that if you drop it. you don’t lose it. Simple design addition , but priceless to the customer.

Please make it so.

I purchased a few different fly boxes for my Orvis Pro Fly Jacket. The large fit perfect in my front large pocket and it was not too bulky. It is nice having the two sided clear covers to view all of my streamers, flies, and nymphs without having to open the box to find what I want.

I ended up getting second large box for my two front large pockets and I plan on getting a couple of small ones for the top. I will be sure to find what I need for any condition.

I have some time on my hands with the COVID-19 stay at home directives, I have been tying some larger flies including Chernobyls, spiders, beetles, San Juan worms. This Orvis box (I chose the medium size) accommodates these medium sized flies better than many boxes.

The doubled sided design seems perfect and a medium sized box can carry enough of these flies to keep you fishing for a long trip. You can probably carry enough smaller dry flies, nymphs, etc. in another similar box to cover you for that same amount of time.

This box just seems ideal for medium sized flies like these terrestrials, poppers and wooly buggers.

Absolutely the best fly storage container I can find. Old hundreds of my flies. Love it!

As advertised. Well constructed. Seals tight. A lot of room and Great looking

I’m not often overly impressed, but this box exceeded my expectations. It’s a big one. Quality is unmatched and well worth it. Bought a lot things in my days that have been a let down for the job they were to do.

But this is the real thing. Solid, well built to last, like everything else I have from Montana Fly Company.

Really happy with this new slim fly box. I can get at least 2 of them in one jacket pocket. I got two and they replace several older bulky boxes that were difficult to manage. This box has a great closure system that is secure, yet opens with ease.

I will likely come back for another one.

This clear cover streamer fly case just became the new home for my shad darts and clousers that are waiting for next years shad run to get back in the water. Great box, with plenty of room for the bigger flies.

I plan on using this box in the spring for browns. I was drawn to its slim profile. Many fly boxes are bulky. This one fits nicely into my vest without too much bulk.

Really nice fly box. The removable leaf is a great addition. Can carry a days worth of flies without any problem.

I actually picked up a couple as the size is great for my 6 inch fly fishing streamers. Waterproof and well made.

This is a great case to hold your special fly fishing lures while you are out in the river. The case is designed to keep your Lures from getting wet. This is made of nice quality materials is very compact and easy to slip into your pocket or fishing vest!.

I use 2 of these for river salmon fishing. I dont fly fish but these boxes fit perfectly in my vest and hold everything i need out on the water. Box #1 houses all my terminal tackle and box #2 is for jigs/spinners/spoons (that will fit).

This box is exactly what I was looking for. I saw similar boxes on other websites, but this one works best for me because of it’s configuration. Nymphs and some midges fit well in the one side where the swing leaf goes, and small dry and other hackled flies fit well in the other side.

I use the swing leaf for smaller Woolly Buggers and Maribou Muddlers. This box fits in a small fishing vest pocket. I intend to buy more as my fly collection expands.

Title says it all, I got the 7. 1 gear ratio version. I already have a non-HD Lexa 400 and it’s really awesome and with upgrades of stainless steel gears, more corrosion resistant bearings, and better handle made beautiful from inside and out.

The finish seems more refined. The space between the thump bar and frame at first seems a design flaw but after doing John Tuttle’s tutorial at alan tani’s website as pre fishing maintenance there’s no problem whatsoever.

Drag is strong and smooth. Filled to the top with 275 yards of #50 sufix 832 braid and about 10 yards of #25 – #40 fluorocarbon leader and that’s all I needed for yellowtail and schoolie tuna. The older 400 is now rig as my #20 setup for Bonita, Bass, Barracuda, and rat yellowtail.

This reel makes it very easy to cast live bait to surface iron. This is the reel for fisherman that’s about given up using conventional due to backlash and an excellent reel for those just starting to use conventional reel for saltwater.

This reel is awesome uswd it for salmon fishing rogue river for salmon. The reel casted exceptionally with no back lash when was proplerly set and no thumb needed to stop spool when properly set. Drag was smooth and was great when fighting salmon to about 30lbs os what i caught.

Speed i purchased allowed torque and the speed needed dor quick retrieves. Casted 2oz weight with hook over 1000 times that trip with no failures. Great reel for price would buy again!.

Got one of these for Christmas and I matched it up to an Okuma Shadow Stalker bait casting rod. Spooled up with some Firewire Ultra-cast Invisibraid 40lb. After watching a couple of youtube videos on how to setup your bait casting setup; I took it out to the park.

After spending 5 minutes dialing it in. I started casting. Lightly at first as I had anticipated some bird nesting. After several cast no bird nest and I started going for distance. Man this thing just goes! I finally had to start putting some thumb on it as it wouldn’t stop and seemed to spin faster.

It started nesting around 50 to 60 yards and would come to a jerking stop. I will work on the end of my casting technique but smiled all the way home thinking WOW!.

Secures inline spinners on both ends to eliminate tangles! Also secures articulated fly rod flies from both ends to eliminate tangles! Provides the best storage option for inline spinners that I’ve ever seen! Large size box accommodates 20 inline spinners while the smaller secures 10 inline spinners.

The smaller box will fit in a fishing vest pocket. I highly recommend these Plan D articulated fly boxes for both medium size inline spinners or articulated flies. They are, in my opinion, the very best storage I’ve come upon.

I own 10 of these boxes and will order more. Ron, NE Iowa.

A great fly box … very durable case … holds plenty of patterns …. the art work and options are awesome … great and compact for taking less on those backwoods adventures.

I bought the brown trout skin as a prize for my highly competitive brothers fishing tournament. It ended up being the most sought prize to win.

A great fly box, handles the back country hammering in its stride, holds plenty of flies. Compartments are strong and secure even in the wind (even when dropped by accident) and im very impressed.

What more can I say? The C7F brand speaks for itself, this is the perfect size for a combination of nymphs, wets, streamers and drys. Toms service and postage is second to none! Thanks guys.

Excellent lightweight fly box that holds a large quantity of flies. The magnetic feature is a plus as it keeps the flies from falling out.

A nice fly box. I have several, they fit nicely into a tackle bag taking little room and the magnetized strips hold the flies in pretty well. A strong wind could possibly blow the flies out, but for the most part, the boxes are attractive, not bulky, priced right, and serve their purpose well.

The magnetized bottom hold the fly in its respective compartment, which are deep enough to hold several flies but not so deep that you can’t get to them.

This box is really nice and very clever. However it?s a little too good for me. I love the silicone inserts and magnetic area. Holds a ton of flies too. The waterproof closure add the degree of difficulty to opening the box and I?m not sure why flies need to be waterproof.

I have the dark blue and it is too dark to see through, so I can?t tell what?s in there until I open it. The box is very thick and doesn?t fit in any pockets well. I thought this box was great but I moved onto having small thin boxes that I can put in any pocket.

Holds a ton of nymphs /midges not so great when it comes to dry flies ,unless the are 14 and under. I had great hopes for a full day fly box. Also it does not like to hold large flies under the magnetic midge area ( they also sit to high).

In my humble opinion they could have done a lot better. but if you need to hold 400 beadhead, emerger or wets this is your box.

The size fits my vest and I fish a lot in fringe seasons, so this small box is great. I really like the 1/3 side magnet. Makes it easy to grab a new fly and lay it there so the wind won’t take it, and to do the same with the removed fly.

I’ve enjoyed this fly box as a way to manage my saltwater flies for upcoming trips to Florida and Costa Rica; the box is handy and can fit in a sling pouch.

DON’T BUY THIS! The plastic is brittle and won’t hold up. My first clue should have been when the first streamer box arrived (first you say?). I opened the package and one corner of the streamer box was blown out with fragments littering the bottom of the carton.

I chalked it up to a delivery or handling mishap or maybe abuse. I immediately requested a replacement which arrived intact. For a couple months everything was hunky-dory, but then it was just sitting on my fly tying desk while I created the flies to fill it.

Yesterday I took it to a local lake to see how those flies move in the water, and whether I over-weighted them. The streamer box fell from my hand to the asphalt as I was getting out of the car. The corner exploded into shards and one of the closure latches broke into pieces.

I don’t have the money at this point to buy another one, so I’ll likely cover the broken corner in duct tape and close it using the remaining latch. Don’t buy this streamer box, it lacks the usual Cabela’s quality.

I’ll start out by saying I’ve been a fan and also not been a fan when buying a Cabelas named products. Loved the LSR rod, LSR reel, FT+ rod and Watershed reel. Hated the PT+ rod and had bad experience with the floating lines.

Never had a Sage, Orvis, St Croix break while casting or fighting a small fish. I went in not expecting much but this product won me over. Found it on sale so I read the reviews. All were very positive so I ordered one for the new driftboat.

The box came and I was pleasantly surprised. Well built and much larger than I’d expected. Immediately loaded it up with clousers, circus peanuts, sculpins, s. dungeons and mice. It easily holds 40-60 streamers.

The drying foam on the outside is going to be useful to help when changing patterns and drying out the old ones. The smallest size may be good for backpack or a small pontoon boat. The middle size is a full blown boat box and the large is for musky / salt flies.

If you think you may need a streamer box, snag one of these. A little less expensive than bugger barns but built just as well.

I live in Ohio, so I dont fish little flies that often. More often than not, its big streamers or topwaters for bass and musky and articulated stuff for browns, so I need large boxes. I have a few more expensive boxes in this style, but these boxes have become my favorite.

I’ve relegated the more expensive ones for storage of my salt specific patterns and two of these are in my backpack whenever I hit the water, one for streamers and one for topwater. I’ll probably buy a third to consolidate my big trout streamers into one box.

I store all my synthetic baitfish that I tie in these boxes (which is a lot of big flies on heavy 1/0 to 5/0 hooks), and they hold fast and dont mangle the flies at all. So far the best option ive seen for these style flies, even better than tackle sleeves.

The exterior sheet is great for drying flies on the boat or on the lakeshore. Its one drawback so far is its bulk.

This fly box is perfect for carrying all of the nymphs and midges I need for a day on the stream. I have several, each filled with the flies I need for specific streams out West or for here in NC and Tenn.

for standard type nymphs or Euro type nymphs. The flies fit snuggly into the slots and do not fall out. The boxes fit nicely into my waste pack and are quite water proof, although not advertised as such.

A lot of dry flies will fit well, like caddis, but not deep enough for high winged dries. The price is right, especially with the current sale on them. I also like the clear tops so I can easily see what is in each box.

Box is perfect. Holds lots of flies in organized slots. I carry several of these lightweight thin profile boxes in my vest. For example one dedicated to sulphers and another for caddis. Clear cover enables easy identification of contents.

On the Farmington River, late Summer means size 20-24 dry flies and larger terrestrials and Iso’s. This box is ideal for those smaller dries, easy to access and see through visibility.
