found this at the dollar store; plastic; made for keeping your credit cards in order; took out the guts, glued some foam on each side, cut some foam strips; glued them in, then took a razor blade and cut some fly slots; just right for my front pocket and my 1 weight flies. Haven't posted in awhile but I'm still trying to be frugal(when you got no money, its the only way to be)-p-

Gene, I just noticed that the liner in your box was purple and gold. I always knew that you were a closet LSU fan.

I just received 2 fly boxes from Cabela's. I received a couple of free fly box from Allen's when I ordered some hooks. They didn't last long. Hope these guys will last a little longer.

The Cabela's $1.88 box looks cheap (left) where as Allen's free one looks very nice (right). Unfortunately, the lid of Allen's boxes cracks very easily. Three boxes broke in a couple of months under some light use. No, I didn't step on them or anything. They were free when I purchases hooks from them, and the hooks weren't that bad.
