The Douglas Outdoors 60016 Fly Box is a compact and versatile storage solution designed for fly anglers. Here are its key features:
Features:
1. Dual Foam Trays
– Slotted Foam Tray: Ideal for securely holding larger flies (streamers, nymphs, etc.) with pre-cut slots.
– Micro-Slit Foam Tray: Designed for smaller flies (dry flies, midges) with tight, dense foam to prevent hook slippage.
2. Compact & Durable Design
– Lightweight yet sturdy construction (likely ABS plastic or similar).
– Hinged lid with a secure latch to prevent accidental opening.
3. Portability
– Fits easily in a vest, pack, or wader pocket.
– Dimensions: ~5″ x 3″ (check exact specs for confirmation).
4. Organization
– Clear lid for quick fly identification.
– Trays may be removable/reversible for customization.
Pros:
– Great for mixed fly sizes.
– Secure foam holds hooks firmly.
– Affordable and practical for everyday use.
Cons:
– Smaller capacity than larger boxes (best for essentials).
– Foam may wear over time with heavy use.
Ideal For:
– Trout/panfish anglers needing a compact box.
– Fly tiers who want organized storage for small and large patterns.
If you need alternatives, consider Tacky Fly Boxes (for silicone grip) or Cliff Outdoors (for heavy-duty options). Let me know if you’d like comparisons!
