Kyle Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I have recently started tying some flies for a trip to St. John. After doing some reading I realized I could save a bunch of money on high priced stainless steel hooks by tying tube flies. I can still experiment with various things and not worry about wasting hooks. It was just this morning that I realized they won't just fit in a standard fly box. I did a search for boxes and found many options. Pins, Swinging pins, open compartment, and wallets. Does anyone have any experience with any of these boxes? Or how do you like to carry your tube flies? Kyle

There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.
